Nonstop 12.5–13 hours: Air India from Sydney and Melbourne to Delhi; one-stops via Singapore or the Gulf put every Australian capital within easy reach.
When To Go
The Australian winter escape (June–September) matches Ladakh, the Himalaya and the monsoon-green south; October–March — your summer — is peak season for Rajasthan, tigers and the Taj.
Good To Know
E-visa in 24–72 hours · Only 4.5–5.5 hours behind AEST — no real jet lag · Cricket, coffee and conversation come standard with your chauffeur.
Famous Journeys, Recomposed Privately
The Beatles in Rishikesh. A young Steve Jobs in the Himalayas. Jackie Kennedy on Lake Pichola. Journeys that changed their travellers — retraced privately, to our standard.
Reading from the Road
Editorial notes on where to go, when, and why — written by the people who plan the journeys.
Booking Christmas and New Year: The Premium, and Whether It Is Worth It
The real cost of the festive fortnight is not the rate. It is a mandatory gala supplement payable at the hotel, a second one six days later, and a cancellation window that turns your money non-refundable around the end of September.
Jaipur in the Third Visit
Jaipur carries three separate World Heritage inscriptions from three different years, and almost nobody gets them right. Amber is not part of the Jaipur listing. Jantar Mantar is a World Heritage Site inside another one. And the body that evaluates these things recommended Jaipur be refused.
Dietary Restrictions in India, Honestly Handled
India does have an allergen law, and it does cover menus. It also exempts, in terms, any meal modified at a customer's request — which is the only kind of meal a private traveller ever eats. What protects you here is not the regulation. It is knowing which questions to ask.
