India Tours

Heritage

Here, food carries memory. Every region, every spice, every story connects to a larger cultural tapestry that is both ancient and ever-evolving.

Color

From rose-toned forts to turmeric-dusted markets, India pulses with color—on your plate, in the streets, and within the warmth of the people who welcome you.

Connection

We don’t just visit India—we participate in it, guided by those who know it by heart. Connection is everywhere here, in shared meals, market conversations, and the hospitality of every home we visit.

Join us on a Tour of India

India is both a place and a feeling. It’s the sound of a sizzle from a breakfast cart, the scent of marigold garlands in morning light, the rhythm of a thousand daily rituals. On this journey, we cook with home chefs, learn traditional bread-making techniques in Jaipur, and trace the roots of Mughlai cuisine in the shadow of the Taj Mahal. We sip chai in the afternoon and eat under the stars, each meal a testament to India’s incredible culinary diversity and enduring hospitality.

The Best Time to Visit India

For our trips, we prefer spring and fall for vibrant markets, rooftop dinners, and comfortable travel—when color, flavor, and culture are at their brightest and most inviting.

Things to Do in India

Learn to make roti by hand, visit Mughal-era palaces, sip chai beneath the morning sun, take in the glow of the Taj Mahal, and follow the scent of spice through bustling bazaars.

“The trip was curated in a way that provided unique experiences we wouldn't have had if we traveled solo.”
