Wander through painted havelis, stay in boutique heritage hotels, spot leopards in the wild, and restore your spirit at a serene botanical retreat. By night, dine under desert stars, and by day, celebrate Diwali — India’s Festival of Lights — in magical Jaisalmer.
This is India at its most vibrant, soulful, and unforgettable — designed for just 8–12 guests who want more than a holiday.

From vibrant Delhi, we fly to the romantic city of Udaipur, where palaces float on lakes. We’ll wander Jodhpur’s indigo streets, seek out leopards in Bera, and rest in the serenity of the Kaner Botanical Retreat. Under desert stars at Manvar, we’ll share stories around the fire, and in Jaisalmer we’ll celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights, in unforgettable fashion.
Our journey continues through Bikaner and the frescoed mansions of Mandawa before returning to Delhi — or, for those who wish, extending to Agra, Jaipur, or Varanasi for deeper discovery.
This is the trip of a lifetime that will show you the finer side of India. It offers fabulous shopping, accommodations that will have you feeling like royalty, sensational food and the very best experiences of India. Think wildlife, food safari, wellness retreat, luxury boutique hotels all rolled into one!

Inlay Handmade Pieces
As with all things made by hand, these pieces are all unique and small flaws may be present, which adds to the intrinsic character and beauty of each piece.
Care Instructions
To clean your bone inlay or mother of pearl inlay furniture, please wipe with a slightly damp cloth. After some time of owning your inlay piece, if the shine comes off slightly then please apply a small amount of coconut oil and white wax and clean it with a dry cloth.
Bone and mother of pearl inlay furniture has a porous surface, so items in high-use situations - such as coffee tables - should be sealed prior to use. Grout or polyurethane sealant (available from any hardware store) is suitable for this - example: https://www.bunnings.com.au/cabot-s-500ml-satin-water-based-cabothane-clear-polyurethane-varnish_p1522368
Whilst this sealant is clear, when you are sealing your piece, we recommend using a very soft cloth in a circular motion (rather than a paint brush) in order to avoid any potential brush strokes left on your piece.
Please do not use regular cleaning products (surface cleaners, glass cleaners) to care for bone inlay. They are very harsh to use on inlay pieces.
If your piece is under direct and constant sunlight, the bone pieces may have the potential to turn a slightly yellow tone over time, and little exposure to sunlight can be useful to help them stay light for a longer duration. Please be careful that you don't put your inlay piece under extreme heat or directly under the sun.
If your inlay products may be used often (tray, drawers for example), the bone pieces may fall from edges during the use. The wood and bone both are naturally contracting and expanding materials but not at the same pace, so during season/weather change this could happen. Please use all-fix or super glue available locally to easily fix yourself if this may happen.
For our vase products, we would recommend covering your vase base prior to using, as these vases are not 100% waterproof.
