Boutique India Holidays, made for you

Ancient, wild and colourful India is a place to behold. Too vast and diverse to encapsulate in words, this country needs to be experienced with the senses. Whether breathing in the spice-filled air of the outdoor markets, tasting the myriad flavours of local cuisines or letting the eyes take in the rich green of those famous tea-leaf filled hillsides, a holiday to India is a truly magnificent experience.

As is our way, we’ve hand-picked (and tested) some of the best off-the-beaten-track destinations and experiences including visiting the traditional villages of Rajasthan or taking a safari by camel or horse (but not elephant); exploring Uttarakhand, one of India’s least visited states, with its national parks, yoga experiences and unsurpassed natural beauty; walking tours of colonial buildings by local enthusiasts in Bengal; traditional rice barge trips and homestays in northern Kerala and exploring unspoilt Madhya Pradesh which seems so much like the India of 100 years ago.

We would be delighted to help you with your India travel plans. Our top quality guides, local know-how, boutique and luxury hotel and 24-hour in-country support will ensure you have the holiday of a lifetime.
