Le point de vue d’ici
Des arguments plutôt que des itinéraires — sur la manière dont l’Inde est vendue, sur ce que devraient signifier les standards dans ce métier, et sur les raisons pour lesquelles la façon dont on assemble la plupart des voyages produit la quinzaine que personne ne voulait.
Why We Do Not Publish Prices
A number on a journey page would be a lie in one of two directions: too low to be the trip described, or too high to describe the trip most people actually want. We would rather publish how the cost is built, and then build it with you.
The Golden Triangle Is a Shape, Not a Sentence
Three cities joined by three roads can be entered at any corner and read in either direction. The order everybody uses was chosen for a coach leaving a Delhi depot — and it decides more about the trip than the cities do.
Against the Bucket List
A bucket list can be completed, which is most of its appeal and very nearly all of the trouble with it. On what it costs to let someone else’s canon decide where you spend a fortnight.
The Arithmetic of Moving Every Day
The Idukki District Administration publishes Munnar to Kumily as 110 kilometres in four hours. That is 27.5 kilometres an hour. The seven-cities-in-ten-days itinerary is not built on optimism about Indian roads — it is built on not having read what the Indian state says about its own roads.
The Monsoon You Were Told to Avoid
On the India Meteorological Department's own normals, October is wetter in Kerala than September — and at Thiruvananthapuram, October is the second-wettest month of the year. The tail of the monsoon is not the rain running out. It is the rain changing direction, and almost nobody selling you a green-season holiday has said so.
A Promise Well Kept
Elevated India was named for Excellence in Curated Luxury Travel Experiences at the ETNOW.in Business Conclave & Awards 2026 in Mumbai. A note of thanks, and two questions answered on the night.
L'Inde se vend au rabais
Le pays a plus à offrir au voyageur exigeant que presque n'importe quel autre endroit sur terre, et on le vend sur son prix. Cet écart n'est pas un problème de marketing. C'est un problème de standards, et il peut se corriger.
Contre l'itinéraire figé
Le voyage organisé a résolu un vrai problème en 1960, et il continue de le résoudre longtemps après que ce problème a cessé d'exister. Ce qui l'a remplacé en est un tout autre — et le remède n'est pas plus de choix.
