OFF THE BEATEN TRACK

For those who’ve seen India’s classics—or simply want to experience something more intimate—there is a quieter India waiting to be discovered. An India of remote desert villages, forgotten palaces, sacred forests, ancient tribal traditions, and coastal enclaves where Portuguese mansions crumble under bougainvillea.

These journeys are about access—not only to places few visit, but to ways of life rarely seen. We work closely with local families, historians, conservationists, and guides to create deeply personal travel experiences far beyond the usual routes.

Your journey might include:

A private safari camp in the leopard lands of Jawai, guided by trackers who know the land by instinct
Time among the Bishnoi or Bhil tribes, whose lives are rooted in centuries-old ecological and spiritual practices
A stay in a desert fort or forested haveli, where heritage is preserved in silence and candlelight
Exploring remote temples, stepwells, or rock-cut sanctuaries long overlooked by mainstream tourism
Visiting little-known textile cooperatives or artisans’ homes where skills have passed down for generations

India Beat highlights are the magnificent abandoned city at Hampi, the astonishing rock-hewn temples of Ellora, and the misty grasslands of Kaziranga, the last refuge of the Indian rhino. These places are remote, yet rich in atmosphere, and visiting them feels like stepping into a world that time forgot.

Our “off the beaten track” journeys are designed for those who don’t need to tick off monuments but want to understand something of the India that exists behind the headlines—sacred, surprising, and utterly unforgettable.

Let us take you somewhere different.
