About Treasured Holidays: India is a land of monuments, scenic natural beauty and serene places. Also it is a home to a number of crafts and textiles that offers hidden treasure troves in interiors of almost all the states. “Treasured Holidays” is a gateway to gorgeous world of artisans. We offer designer trails for curious travelers, craft and textile enthusiasts and nature lovers who are keen on

off beat traveling experiences. What do we offer: Craft and Textile trails of ‘Treasured Holidays’ are not just break from the routine, rather, are meaningful sojourns. Through these trails, one contributes positively to conservation of cultural heritage and can connect with local artisans. Through our textile trails, the participants experience complete processes of spinning, dyeing, weaving, printing etc. Our craft trails give you an opportunity to find out age old art from an artisan and make an effort of your imagination too! Treasured Holidays ensures a win-win situation for our travelers and the artisans. Artisans showcase their skills and artifacts to the urban dwellers like us and the trail participants enjoy trying a new skill during the trail. Participants can procure more such handicrafts from these authentic avenues. Thus each of these trails promises to be a rewarding experience. Some of our trails are planned to explore untamed beauty in interiors of India, to experience life in rural India, to see UNESCO world heritage sites along with natural wonders especially in the mountains in North India. Currently, Treasured Holidays has planned trails in the states of Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh. Soon we will be exploring more states across India. To know more about these rewarding journeys, please write to us on: [email protected]

A few friends are curious to know if our group visits heritage sites during The Hampiness trail. And so, thought of sharing this post with you.

Yes, the trail covers UNESCO World Heritage sites of North Karnataka. Our journey would include a visit to the fascinating wonders of Hampi, Badami, Pattadakal and Aihole. Every monument here has an interesting story to share with; let’s listen to these stories together on guided tours with competent guides. Local inputs from a ‘History Buff’ and creating local livelihood opportunities is encouraged in each trail of Treasured Holidays.

Click picture-postcards against the backdrop of these heritage monuments and create beautiful memories with your family and friends. A much-awaited plan also includes long drives in breezy weather, indulgence in local delicacies and a lot of fun with fellow travelers. Hope you are joining us from 1-6 July in North Karnataka!

I got introduced to Hands Of India (HOI) through their exhibition in Pune in March 2015. During my visit, as a happy customer, I chatted with the founder members, Ramya Rangacharya and Malyada Goverdhan. We talked about HOI’s work with artisans; I shared a few of my textile n travel stories with them. Our interests matched and we immediately started working on 'Project Ilkal'.

In this project I travelled through pockets of North Karnataka to source authentic hand-woven Ilkal sarees. I entered almost all the households in Ilkal; was immensely disappointed as no one was weaving 100 % cotton Ilkal sarees. However I came across a few families who were willing to weave pure cotton sarees.

The ball started rolling. We faced many hurdles at each stage yet were determined to do the best. It took us precisely a year to get what we wanted. Though the project got over, my interactions with the weavers in Karnataka and HOI continued. I explored other crafts of Karnataka during the entire year and was keen to curate a trail in the interior parts around Ilkal.

Since January 2017, I have been travelling on 'The Hampiness' through Karnataka with groups. Many saree enthusiasts, designers, history buffs and curious travellers have been participating in this trail to interact with the artisans and to appreciate their hard work.

Come July… 9th time in a row, my bag is getting packed. 'The Hampiness' is fascinating!

Do you look for a cup of kadak Chai or aromatic Kappi at an affordable rate during travel? The steep prices of food and beverages at airports remained a major deterrent for budget-conscious flyers.

However, the airports are coming up with better opportunities now. Passenger friendly 'Udan Yatri Cafe' model is offering reasonably priced food and beverage services at the airports. We have been using this Café in Chennai and Kolkata during our group travels. Now आमचे पुणे is also offering this user-friendly service.

We hope more airports adopt this model soon and maintain the quality of food and beverages!

Greetings on World Book Day!

World Book Day (WBD) is a celebration of authors, illustrators, books and most importantly reading. This day is chosen by UNESCO and marked in 100+ countries all over the world.
The theme for WBD 2025 is ‘Read Your Way’. This theme is so very apt for us! Our groups travel back-to-back to diverse states in India. We come across good libraries at homestays and hotels. Moreover, a few precious libraries are a part of our itineraries.

We have picked just three treasured libraries from a long list of our favorite ones. Please comment on this post to share where you have discovered good libraries during your travels. We would love to locate more during our journeys.

Hope all of us curl-up with books to read our way, be it hard copies, listening to audio books, enjoying leafing through digital books or Kindle!

Greetings on World Heritage Day!

On this day sharing with you that we recently completed milestone 75th trail of Treasured Holidays in Nagaland. Since September 2016, including homebound pandemic days, we have been travelling across our country. We take a lot of pride to reach-out to competent artisans creating lesser-known crafts and textiles, to promote and celebrate their remarkable expertise and rich cultural heritage!

They say, consistency matters and we believed in it since the day one of Treasured Holidays. To design, execute and travel on ‘fixed departures’ is certainly not an easy task. However, it offered us an immense satisfaction to curate our signature trails at the grassroots!

Thank you, so much able artisans, experienced service providers, curious travelers, valued mentors and our well-wishers for your continuous association. This journey is possible simply because of tremendous support from my parents, siblings and family.

Hope together we get many more opportunities to celebrate gorgeous world of artisans and our cultural heritage in the coming years!

Greetings on International Women’s Day!

In the trail of Treasured Holidays, the women artisans have been welcoming us to their home wholeheartedly to showcase unique crafts and textiles. Our women travelers have been appreciating the skills and adding the authentic hand-crafted articles to their collection proudly. Many women service providers have been making our journeys comfortable as well as enjoyable while being ‘behind-the-scene’ throughout the year.

Today, we wish to celebrate each woman who has been part of our trails, directly or indirectly. All these women have added incredible value to our learning holidays.

It’s so challenging to feature each of them here. And so, we have used 'her' symbol.
