No matter if you’re travelling to India for the very first time or are an old hand returning for your twentieth visit, having the best information on where and when to go and, more importantly, how to explore is key. At Explorations Company, we’ve been designing captivating and utterly bespoke travel itineraries in India for decades. We love revealing the old, traditional India–quirky, sometimes impenetrable, and still very much alive if you know where to look. We can show you the wonders of modern India too. Having both lived and travelled all over India, our team has the inside information and connections to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. With our hand-picked guides and partners, we create experiences that are simply unavailable elsewhere and can take you far from the beaten path in a style befitting Maharanis and Maharajahs.

Our clients have stayed in royal palaces and tumbledown havelis, dreamy houseboats and sprawling tea plantations, austere ashrams and magnificent tented camps. They have travelled by train, rickshaw, Rolls Royce, private yacht and helicopter. They have seen tigers make a kill in the dappled forests of Madhya Pradesh; shopped for artefacts with an antique dealer in Tamil Nadu; joined in the festivities at Holi and the Kumbh Mela; talked philosophy in the coffee shops of Calcutta; explored crumbling temples in the jungles of Karnataka; had tiffin with memsahibs; spotted leopards from the saddle of a Marwari horse; drifted slowly down the Ganges (and Brahmaputra); learned the secrets of Keralan cuisine from a master chef; and trekked over high passes in Ladakh, through villages in Sikkim and across living tree root bridges in Meghalaya. And that’s barely scratching the surface.
