A Spiritual Seeker’s Adventure: India 2026
26 October – 8 November 2026
This is not a holiday.
It is a journey through ancient lands, sacred rivers, royal cities, and living traditions - timed perfectly to culminate in the magic of Diwali, India’s festival of light.
Designed for the curious, the courageous, and the spiritually open, this journey invites you to experience India beyond the surface.
The Journey at a Glance
From the holy waters of the Ganges in Varanasi, to the wild beauty of Ranthambore, the royal palaces of Rajasthan, and the glowing lamps of Diwali in Udaipur, this carefully curated adventure weaves together:
Spiritual immersion
Cultural depth
Sacred rituals
Wild nature
Royal heritage
Moments of stillness, awe, and celebration
Every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to create a transformational experience, not a rushed tour.
What Makes This Journey Special
-
Varanasi at Sunrise
Witness life and death, devotion and beauty, unfold on the Ganges - the spiritual heart of India.
Special Surprise Experience (Day 3): A private sunrise boat journey accompanied by live sitar and tabla, performed gently and respectfully as the river awakens. This is a moment of profound stillness.
-
Ancient Temples & Living History
Explore the sensual and sacred temples of Khajuraho, the timeless ruins of Orchha, and the architectural wonders of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur - including the iconic Taj Mahal at dawn.
-
Into the Wild – Ranthambore National Park
Step into the natural world with two jungle safaris in one of India’s most famous tiger reserves. Balance adventure with rest through spa treatments and quiet time surrounded by nature.
-
A Journey Back in Time – Heritage Train Experience
A rare and little-known highlight.
On Day 12, board a historic narrow-gauge heritage train, winding slowly through the Aravalli Hills, forests, tunnels, and remote villages. This is slow travel at its finest - nostalgic, grounding, and deeply immersive.
-
Royal Rajasthan
Stay in heritage properties, explore desert towns, experience village life, enjoy cultural performances, and learn the flavours of India through a cooking demonstration and shared meals.
-
Diwali in Udaipur
End the journey in one of India’s most romantic cities during its most sacred festival. As lamps glow, sweets are shared, and the city comes alive with devotion and joy, you’ll experience Diwali not as a tourist - but as a welcomed guest.
