The same two countries, travelled a dozen different ways. Start from the kind of trip you want rather than the map.
The routes most people come to us for — the ones that made our name.
Forts, stepwells, palaces and temple towns, with a guide who can tell you why any of it was built.
16 journeysMarkets, ceremonies, craft workshops and the ordinary daily life that sits between the monuments.
16 journeysRajasthan's great forts and the palaces you can still sleep inside.
8 journeysDelhi, Agra and Jaipur — India's most travelled circuit, and still the best first week the country offers.
7 journeysHow hard you want to work, and what you want outside the window.
Trekking, rafting, safari and high passes, for travellers who would rather be tired at the end of the day.
11 journeysJourneys where the road between two places is the reason to go.
10 journeysNational parks, riverbanks and birdlife, at the hours wildlife actually moves.
6 journeysRoutes that go properly up, with acclimatisation days built in rather than hoped for.
5 journeysShimla, Manali, Bandipur — cool air, pine and the pace dropping by half.
4 journeysCamel evenings in the Thar, dunes at sunset and a night under a serious quantity of stars.
3 journeysPlaces that are not on the circuit, for people who have already done the circuit.
2 journeysThe same country feels different depending on who is beside you.
Shorter drives, earlier dinners, rooms next door to each other, and days that do not run out of patience.
3 journeysRoutes and stays that will take a travelling dog. Ask early; there are fewer of them.
3 journeysElephants, forts, boats and train rides — the parts of India children remember.
2 journeysShort escapes for travellers already in the region.
2 journeysSome journeys are about seeing. Some are about something else.
Route and timing built around the temples and ceremonies that matter to you, at the hours they actually happen.
8 journeysBuilt around light rather than opening hours — dawn at the ghats, dusk on the dunes, and time to wait.
8 journeysVaranasi, Rishikesh, Haridwar and Lumbini — the rivers and birthplaces people travel a long way to sit beside.
7 journeysStreet stalls, home kitchens and cooking classes, with someone beside you who knows what is safe and what is worth it.
3 journeysPractice at Rishikesh ashrams built into the itinerary rather than squeezed around it.
1 journeyTime with community projects we have worked alongside for years, arranged honestly rather than as a photo stop.
1 journeyNights in family homes rather than hotels, where dinner is whatever the family is eating.
1 journeySame roads, same guides — different hotels and different vehicles.
We do not have a fixed itinerary published for these, but we build them regularly. Tell us which one fits and we will put a route together.
Most people are two or three of these at once. Tell us roughly what you want and we will work out the rest.
