In creating a holiday for you around India, I believe the questions to ask are ‘what’ and ‘why’, not ‘where.’  

Why is it that you want to travel, what are your hobbies, what are your expectations, what do you want to get out of a journey around India? I ask these questions rather than, ‘Where would you like to go,’ because so little of India is actually known. Getting to know a little bit about you, your interests and hobbies, likes and dislikes, previous holidays and your expectations is imperative in making sure I get things just right. Tailoring a trip around your exact requirements, knowing the country and the possible experiences as I do, will make for a far more meaningful journey than simply visiting a set of monuments that are on a bucket list and that are all that is known about the country at large. Of course, these can be worked in, but I will tailor a journey around you, making it truly what you would like to experience.  

A true experience of India isn’t visiting a monument with a hoard of other people, it is that unexpected encounter, a mood captured, and a moment shared. These can’t be planned, but they can be allowed for. 

Even the Golden Triangle can be tailored. Do you have a particular interest in food, or walking, would you like to try an early morning yoga session or see a city as it wakes up on a cycle tour, or float over it on a hot air balloon safari? Do you like markets and bazaars or a quiet spot to appreciate a sundowner? I support various NGO’s, would you like to incorporate visits to these? The trick is to slow it down, take more time, peel back the layers, get to know a destination and then, see more.

Of course, India is so much more than the Golden Triangle, click here to see other opportunities based around interests rather than destinations: 

The accommodation I use are a selection of favourites, some I may have known for 20 years or more, some may be relatively new places, however, I have personally stayed at all of them (a perk of the job!) and they will ensure that you have a wonderful time.
