Kerala, slowly
South · best September – March
Kochi, the Vembanad backwaters on a private kettuvallam, tea country at Munnar, and three unhurried days where nothing is scheduled before nine.
Small-group travel across India · Since 2012
We run six fixed-departure trips and design private ones. No shopping stops, no white-labelled operators, and full costing on the page before you write to us.
The trips
Every one of these can also run as a private departure for your own group, on your own dates, at roughly 15% more per person.
6 trips · all with fixed departures and a private option
South · best September – March
Kochi, the Vembanad backwaters on a private kettuvallam, tea country at Munnar, and three unhurried days where nothing is scheduled before nine.
Rajasthan · best October – March
Jaipur, Bundi, Jodhpur and a night in the Thar — travelling by car and one overnight train, staying in havelis rather than chain hotels.
Himalaya · best June – September
Shimla to Manali the long way — Kalpa, Nako, Tabo, Kaza, Kibber and Chandratal — with two acclimatisation days built in because altitude does not negotiate.
Coast · best November – February
Goa to Malvan by road — sea forts, Konkani home kitchens, empty beaches and one morning of snorkelling off Tarkarli.
Rajasthan · best October – March
The classic route, but at the right times of day, with a historian in Delhi and sunrise at the Taj before the gates get busy.
Coast · best November – February
Art deco Marine Drive, the Sassoon Dock at 5am, Elephanta, and a food walk that avoids every place on the usual list.

Why book with us
No white-labelled operators. The person who wrote the itinerary is on WhatsApp while you are travelling.
Small enough for a homestay to feed everybody. Large enough that a fixed departure actually runs.
You will never be driven to an emporium that pays us commission. Ask any operator this question.
What is included and what is not is on every trip page, before you enquire.
Ministry of Tourism approved · IATA accredited agent
“They talked us out of Spiti in our first year of travelling with a six-year-old and put us on the Konkan trip instead. It was the right call and it cost them ₹70,000.”
“The Kerala itinerary had two afternoons with nothing planned. I thought that was lazy planning until I got there.”
Plan a trip
Even “somewhere green, ten days, in August, with two children” is enough to start. We reply with two or three honest options and what each would cost.
