  • “Visiting Varanasi is a truly transformative experience. The highlight for many of my clients is a boat ride at dawn along the Ganges as the rising sun illuminates the ancient temples and pilgrims perform their morning rituals along the ghats (stairways leading to the river). Considered to be the spiritual heart of India, it’s a place that will leave you deeply moved.”

    Karen Majsay

  • "Street food in India is a sensory adventure - a burst of sounds, colours, and the aromas of spices. Don’t miss Chole Bhature, a fluffy bread served with delicious chickpea curry, or Kulfi, a creamy frozen dessert infused with saffron and cardamom, perfect for cooling down in the Indian heat!"
