The Calendar
India rewards timing. These are the windows we plan around — and the moments worth planning a year ahead for.
North India at its most benevolent — crisp palace mornings, warm fort afternoons, the Thar cool enough for dune dinners. The season every first journey deserves.
Peak palace availability requires 4–6 months' notice.
Royal Heritage journeys →
Fifty thousand camels, traders and pilgrims converge on a desert lake town — India's greatest photographic spectacle. Our private camps stand apart from the crowds.
2026 camp allocation is finite; reserved on request.
Photography expedition →
Palaces lamplit, cities in celebration, private aartis on the river. Diwali week turns any itinerary into something guests describe for years.
Jaipur and Udaipur book out first.
Plan a Diwali journey →
Dry-season sightlines in Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh and Kanha. April is the connoisseur's month — hot, quiet, and the best sighting odds of the year.
Premium lodges release safaris 90 days out.
Wildlife journeys →
Celebrated properly — inside a haveli courtyard with a host family, not ambushed in a street. Vrindavan's week-long build-up is the insider's version.
Host-family places are naturally few.
Celebration journeys →
When the plains turn monsoon-green, Ladakh opens — high passes, monastery festivals and trekking weather found nowhere else on the calendar.
Hemis Festival: June 24–25, 2027.
