Temples, bazaars, kitchens and the ordinary business of two countries getting on with it. The lanes of Old Delhi, the ghats at Varanasi before sunrise, the Newari towns of the Kathmandu valley, Lumbini where the Buddha was born, and the desert forts of Rajasthan that people still live in. Culture is the part of a trip most easily rushed. We build in the slow mornings that make it work, and we say plainly when a site deserves a licensed guide and when it is better walked alone. These are the journeys built around people and places rather than distance.
Fourteen days behind the Himalaya into Lo Manthang, the walled Tibetan capital that was closed to outsiders until 1992.
Ten days across Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan in a private vehicle, at a pace that lets you actually look at the place.

Ten days from Delhi through Agra and Jaipur to the temples of Khajuraho, the fort at Orchha and the ghats of Varanasi.
Four days to Punjab by road — the Golden Temple, the Wagah border ceremony, Jallianwala Bagh and Chandigarh on the way back.
Two days across Old and New Delhi in a private car with a driver — the Red Fort and Chandni Chowk, Humayun's…
Try widening the duration or price — or let us build something from scratch, which is what we do best.
