Modernity is creeping into Indian culture, fusing the country’s history and spirituality with high-end boutique hotels and hand-crafted itineraries fit for royalty.

THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE
Experience the three most-visited cities in India – and see them from a fresh angle
They’re popular for a reason, the cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Named ‘Golden’ for the immense richness of culture, history and wealth within them, we recommend that clients experience a little bit of each; with Agra, the former capital of the Moghul Empire (crumbling and stately); Delhi, with its unstoppable modern energy; or Jaipur, the desert capital of Rajasthan – famed for having the best bazaars in the country. We’ll ensure your guides are local insiders – from dawn to dusk.
THE HIMALAYAS
Purple, white, black – and the largest mountain range in the world.
For us, there are many ways to experience the Himalayas. To hike to the base-camp of Everest, stopping off at tea houses as you slowly acclimate to the rarified air. We prefer, however, the tranquil spirituality of Ladakh; a region with very few tourists and extremely traditional (albeit welcoming) villagers. Our local guides are villagers themselves and will introduce you to mountain scenery, Ladakhi cooking, and the monasteries of Phyang.
RAJASTHAN
From desert and island to the iconic Blue City.
Frequently, Rajasthan has topped our lists of India’s most fascinating regions. In Jawai you can trek and head out on safari in search of majestic tigers and elusive leopards. Across the deserts of Jaisalmer, you can travel by camel and study the historic Havelis of this historic city. In Jodhpur – the beautiful Blue City – you can stay at some of the country’s most regal Moghul-era hotels, such as the splendid Raas. It’s a lot. Gladly.
