Step into 2025 with a series of experiences that offer a more intimate way to explore India — through contemporary traditions, revived food memories, quiet craft journeys and community-led innovation. These are not just additions to our portfolio but new ways of looking at familiar regions, shaped through personal stories, rediscovered heritage and mindful interactions.
Each experience has been created in collaboration with local partners — farmers, chefs, artisans, musicians, storytellers and culture-keepers — who open their worlds and invite you into their everyday lives. What emerges are small moments: layered, sincere, sometimes quiet, always meaningful.
Designed for travellers who are drawn to novelty with purpose, slower days with depth, and journeys that feel like connections rather than checklists.
