Holiday Itineraries

Go on, spoil yourself

Our carefully curated itineraries include fixed departure Expert-led tours and Small-Group tours, with some group tours exclusively for Solo travellers with no single supplement. We also have holiday ideas to inspire your bespoke holiday.

Whether it is your first visit to the Indian Subcontinent, or you are coming back, indulge yourself with our itineraries – we showcase not just the iconic sights in each region, but also explore places that are off the beaten track to give you a well-rounded experience.

We know that sometimes the most memorable moments of our holidays are not just the famous sights but the small serendipities of travel- moments of spontaneous thrill, calm, or bliss – to aid these, we pick hotels with real character, add opportunities to interact with locals, and time for you to put your feet up and relax.

With our expertise and first-hand knowledge of the subcontinent, and our partnerships with the charities we are proud to support, all our itineraries aim to positively impact the people and places we visit, while giving you a memorable and enriching experience.

Pick a tour that takes your fancy or use our ideas to design your own holiday. Our expertise is at your disposal, no matter what route you choose.
