India
From the mustard fields of Rajasthan to the lit ghats of Varanasi at dawn, welcome to India.
Begin by mood,
then by month.
A pair of dials, not a form. Tell us how the trip should feel and when you can leave. we'll edit the catalogue down.
Romance, edited for June.
0 signature journeys match.
Thirteen, sorted four ways.
Two threads by latitude. The Northern Plains and the Himalayan Crescent. Two by the way you travel. By heritage, and by the kind of day you'd like to be having.
Rajputana Forts
Mehrangarh, Amber, Chittor. Sandstone the colour of evening.
Mughal Agra & Delhi
The Taj at dawn; Humayun's garden at dusk.
Awadhi Lucknow
Imambaras, kebabs, a vanishing courtliness.
Hyderabadi Nizami
Golconda's walls; biryani by candlelight.
South Indian Temples
Madurai, Tanjavur, Hampi. Granite and gopurams.
Six grand tours,
edited for the long way.

The continent, in seasons.
A single page-spread for the year. Read across to find your month, down to find your kind of weather.
Four readings of the same continent.
The route changes when the travellers do. Four lenses, two hand-picked tours under each.
Is this your first India?
The Golden Triangle, done with the buses behind you. Old Delhi by foot, a dawn Taj, a haveli in Jaipur with the staff who know your daughter's name by lunch.
Are you two?
Slow mornings on a lake; a candle dinner in a courtyard you'll never find again; a cooking lesson with a Marwari grandmother. Itineraries edited for two.
Are there children?
Two nights in a place, never one. Mid-morning starts, pools that look at forts, a bullock cart that goes home for tea. Family rhythm before family adventure.
Are you here for the wild?
April and May, when the forest has nothing to hide behind. Three parks, two safaris a day, the same guide for all of them. And a tent at the edge of a waterhole.
Or, a different continent.
Three regions to wander into next. the same atelier, the same slow pace.
