Rajasthan Illuminated | A Journey to the Heart of Craft, Culture and Beauty

If you are drawn to bone inlay, mother-of-pearl, carved timber and pieces that carry soul, there is a reason.

Every design we share at Mahlia Interiors begins in Rajasthan — in quiet workshops where skilled artisans sit cross-legged on the floor, placing each fragment by hand, continuing traditions that have been passed down through generations.

For many of you, it isn’t just the pattern or palette that resonates. It’s the story. The human touch. The sense that what you bring into your home has lived a life before it reaches you.

Each year, we invite a small group to experience that story firsthand.

A 17-Day Guided Journey Through Rajasthan

This is not a standard tour.
It is an immersive, slow, beautifully curated 17-day journey through the regions that inspire everything we do.

With just 8–12 guests, you will travel through Rajasthan’s most captivating landscapes — romantic lake cities, painted havelis, desert plains and wildlife reserves — staying in boutique heritage hotels and palace properties that feel timeless and intimate.

You will:

• Wander through frescoed mansions and artisan quarters

• Visit textile warehouses and inlay workshops

• Experience architecture rich in hand-crafted detail

• Dine beneath desert stars

• Spot leopards in the wilds of Jawai

• Restore your spirit at the serene Kaner Botanical Retreat

This is India experienced with depth, elegance and space to breathe.

Boutique Luxury, Thoughtfully Designed

This is not a bus tour or a rushed checklist of monuments.

In partnership with a highly experienced Indian tour company with more than 25 years of on-ground expertise, the itinerary has been carefully designed for travellers who value:

• Intimacy over crowds

• Meaning over speed

• Comfort without excess

• Cultural immersion over superficial sightseeing

You will be fully escorted throughout, enjoy exceptional regional cuisine, and stay in hand-selected accommodation that reflects the heritage and romance of Rajasthan.

For those who feel inspired, optional travel sketching moments are gently woven into the journey — a beautiful way to slow down and capture what you see, at no additional cost.

Deep Cultural Immersion

Rajasthan is a place where craftsmanship is not a trend — it is a way of life.

From painted havelis to carved stone façades, from intricate inlay to block-printed textiles, beauty is embedded in daily living. To witness artisans at work, to walk through the very streets where our pieces are created, is to understand the soul behind the furniture you place in your home.

This journey has the power to change how you see beauty — and perhaps how you see yourself.

Rich, Unforgettable Experiences

Some moments stay with you forever:

The hush of dawn light over a lake palace.
The warmth of chai shared with a master craftsman.
The thrill of spotting a leopard in the wild.
The stillness of desert air under a canopy of stars.

These are not fleeting highlights. They are experiences designed to linger long after you return home.

Is This Calling You?

If it has been quietly on your heart to experience something transformative, restorative and deeply inspiring, we invite you to explore the full itinerary.

Whether you are ready to travel this October, considering a future departure, or dreaming of extending your journey to places such as the Taj Mahal, Jaipur or Varanasi, we are always happy to guide you.

Rajasthan Illuminated is more than a tour.
It is a return to beauty, craftsmanship and meaning.
