India has a way of filling every sense at once: colour, sound, scent and warmth all turned up to full volume.
I felt it most deeply in the old havelis I explored during my 10 day tour of India with the amazing :
Haveli Dharampura and Golden Haveli in Old Delhi, and Samode Haveli in Jaipur, where carved arches, painted ceilings and quiet courtyards feel a world away from the busy streets outside. From rickshaw rides through sari- and spice-filled lanes, to rooftop sunsets with children flying bright paper kites, chai-scented markets, pink-tinged boulevards and village walks past water buffalo and temple bells, India is not just a place you see, it is a place you feel. It settles in your heart and never really leaves your memories.

If you would love to experience India’s havelis, hidden lanes and soul-stirring sunsets for yourself, get in touch and I will tailor your own unforgettable India journey.

Five European coastal gems, five totally different moods to fall in love with: think sun‑drenched Roman ruins and waterfront cafes in Split, sugar-cube villages and golden beaches on Paros, wild Atlantic cliffs and hidden coves in the Algarve, sunset-chasing in Ibiza’s chic beach clubs, and pastel-hued cliffside towns along the Amalfi Coast. I’ve handpicked these five for their gorgeous scenery, characterful towns and unforgettable food and w**e: perfect inspiration for your next coastal escape in Europe.

My India Tour: Day 2 and 3

After a leisurely breakfast in Delhi, we journeyed onwards to Ranthambore, watching the landscape shift from bustling towns to quiet villages and wild scrubland hinting at the jungle to come. By early afternoon we arrived at The Maharajah’s Lodge, a charming hideaway that feels more like a royal residence than a hotel. Antique furnishings, rich textiles and warm, attentive staff created an immediate sense of place, while the views across the countryside reminded us that tigers roam not far beyond the walls.

As dusk settled, we retired early in anticipation of our dawn adventure. Before sunrise, we set out on safari into Ranthambore National Park, the air cool and still, with just birdsong and the distant rumble of the jeep breaking the silence. We wound our way past ancient ruins draped in jungle and tranquil lakes where deer and langur monkeys drank at the water’s edge. Although the elusive Bengal tiger remained hidden that morning, the thrill of scanning every rustling bush and listening for alarm calls made it an utterly absorbing experience, offering a profound sense of connection with the wild.

That evening, we were welcomed into SUJAN Sher Bagh for a site inspection and dinner. This exquisite tented camp blends old-world safari glamour with impeccable comfort: canvas suites with polished campaign furniture, softly glowing lanterns, and pathways scented with frangipani. We explored the grounds, learning how the lodge weaves conservation and community into every stay, before settling beside the firepit with a drink in hand. Dinner was a highlight: beautifully presented regional dishes served under a starlit sky, the sounds of the night forest all around. It was the perfect finale to a day steeped in wilderness, heritage and understated luxury.

I’ve just returned from 10 unforgettable days in India, and I have to start with Day 1 in Delhi…✨

From the moment we landed, the city wrapped us in colour, spice and history. After a warm welcome from our local partners and a visit to the towering Qutub Minar, we checked in at the stylish Le Méridien – the perfect place to recharge over a delicious lunch before diving into Old Delhi.

Then the real adventure began.

We wove through the tangled lanes of Old Delhi by rickshaw, the air filled with honking horns, temple bells and the fragrance of chai and street food. A walking tour with the incredible Salaam Baalak Trust gave us a powerful insight into the lives of former street children, and the life‑changing support, education and safe spaces the charity provides. Their guides share their own stories with such honesty and pride – it’s humbling and inspiring in equal measure.

The spice market was a full sensory overload: pyramids of chillies, sacks of cardamom and cumin, flashes of turmeric yellow and saffron red, all set against centuries‑old facades and hidden alleyways.

And then, in the midst of the chaos, we stepped into another world: Haveli Dharampura.

Old Delhi’s havelis are traditional mansions tucked behind unassuming doorways – a glimpse into a more elegant time. Many are being lovingly restored, and Haveli Dharampura is one of the finest examples: carved balconies, peaceful courtyards, intricate archways and rooftops where you can watch kites dancing above the skyline. It’s a calm, beautifully restored sanctuary where you can sip tea, listen to the city hum in the distance and feel the layers of history all around you.

Day 1 set the tone for the entire trip: rich culture, powerful stories, and those “I can’t believe I’m really here” moments at every turn.

If India has been on your wish list – especially Delhi and its magical havelis – I’d love to share more about this journey and help you experience it for yourself.

What a fantastic time we’ve had in India so far! From Delhi to Rathambore to search for the elusive Bengal Tigers, onto Jaipur to an amazing stay at Samode Haveli and some shopping, all while learning more about this incredible country and their rich history and culture. Agra and the Taj Mahal was mind blowing and such an honour. We spent last night at Chambal and visited a Heritage Village and Temples and had AMAZING food throughout our journey. Now on our way to Delhi for our last two nights. Thank you Trail Blazer Tours India for hosting us on this incredible journey. India has a very special place in my heart
