Small-group dates

Golden Triangle & Rajasthan - Classic

An 11-day journey that begins with India's Golden Triangle and then expands into Rajasthan. Delhi opens the route through Old and New Delhi contrasts. Agra anchors with the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, supported by an evening cultural experience that explains the monument's story and symbolism. Jaipur follows with forts, stepwells, and craft neighbourhoods kept practical rather than performative. The pace then slows in Udaipur, where days stay close to Lake Pichola and the old city. Jodhpur closes Rajasthan through Mehrangarh Fort and the blue residential quarters below it, before a return to Delhi. Some drives are long, so arrival days stay light and heavier visits are spaced out. October to April offers the most comfortable conditions. Travel privately on your own dates, or join a small group on a fixed date, including Holi in Udaipur: see Dates & prices.

Golden Triangle & Ranthambore Tigers - Classic

A nine-day journey that combines India's Golden Triangle with two safari days in Ranthambore National Park. The route starts in Delhi for city layers and monuments, moves into Jaipur for forts and craft neighbourhoods, then slows down in Ranthambore for morning and afternoon game drives through the forest and grasslands. Ranthambore has one of the highest tiger densities of any national park in India, though sightings are never guaranteed. After the wildlife days, the journey closes in Agra with the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort before returning to Delhi. Distances on this route are real, so the itinerary keeps arrival days light and recovery time built in throughout. September to April is the most comfortable window. Safari zone allocations are confirmed based on availability at time of booking. Travel privately on your own dates, or join a small group on a fixed date: see Dates & prices.

Golden Triangle & Varanasi - Classic

A nine-day journey that moves through India's most-visited circuit before closing in Varanasi, a city that changes the entire register of the trip. Delhi opens with scale and street life. Agra delivers the Taj Mahal and the Mughal geometry of Agra Fort. Jaipur follows with forts, courtyards, and craft neighbourhoods. Then Varanasi shifts everything: a river city where dawn begins on the Ganges, evenings gather for aarti, and the concept of continuity in Indian life becomes visible and constant. Two nights give enough time for both the sunrise boat and Sarnath. September to March offers the most comfortable conditions across all four cities. Travel privately on your own dates, or join a small group on a fixed date, including Dev Deepawali in Varanasi: see Dates & prices.

12 seats left 7 Nov – 15 Nov 2027 Dev Deepawali edition: the lamp-lit ghats of Varanasi, seen from the river $7,950 per person, your own room $6,350 each when two share

Central India Tiger Safari: Kanha & Bandhavgarh - Classic

Ten days through Central India's tiger country, from Delhi into the dense forests of Kanha and Bandhavgarh before closing at Khajuraho's UNESCO temple complex. Delhi opens the journey with a single city day before the route slips into a different India entirely: dense sal forest, early morning drives, and long still hours where patience is the only useful strategy. Kanha and Bandhavgarh together offer some of the best chances to see wild tigers anywhere in India, with days structured around safari timing and recovery rather than relentless movement. Jabalpur provides the bridge with Marble Rocks and the Chausath Yogini Temple. Khajuraho closes with the UNESCO Kandariya Mahadeva Temple complex and Raneh Falls. October to March is the operating window when both parks are open. June to September, Kanha and Bandhavgarh close — a Jabalpur and Khajuraho heritage circuit is available on request during these months.

12 seats left 22 Feb – 2 Mar 2028 Six safari drives across Kanha and Bandhavgarh, before the heat $7,600 per person, your own room $6,250 each when two share
