Est 2016
Two women, one question. Is it alright, on my own? Ten seasons of going first later, what it has left us is the part that cannot be bought: the haveli families, the chauffeurs who stay for years, and the guides who can get a kitchen to open early.

Why WTOI
Every stay visited in person, drivers we have worked with for seasons, and one coordinator who stays with you from the first email to the last drop-off.
Tours by interest

Signature tours
Four routes we have run every season since 2016: Rajasthan end to end, Kerala at walking pace, the tiger gates of Ranthambhore, and the palace rail line down to Udaipur. Fully private, and rebuilt around your dates each time.
Signature experiences
A dawn jeep into Ranthambhore before the gates fill. Kathakali in a hall of forty, close enough to hear the drummers breathe. Manganiyar singers on the dunes at dusk, and back on the road before dark. We book the version of each one that earns the early alarm.

What we do
Four ways to travel with us. Every one of them is planned by the person who has walked the route.
Tailor-made journeys
Built from a blank page around your dates, pace and the three things you actually want to see.
Privately guided travel
Your own car, chauffeur and guide the whole way. No shared coach, no group to keep up with.
Small-group departures
Set dates for four to twelve women, with a coordinator travelling alongside you.
On-ground support
Airport to airport: permits, safari slots, rail bookings, and one number answered by a person.


Hotels

Palaces taken whole. A carriage of your own on the rail. Forts opened after closing hours, and a curator who travels with you. For a small number of journeys each season, we plan without a price list.
Enter India Privately →Wheelchair users, women travelling after surgery, mothers in their eighties. India is not built for any of them, so we measure it ourselves and write the numbers down before you commit.
A women-focused company that does not employ women would be a slogan. Here is the arithmetic instead, published once a season.
Send us the month and roughly who is travelling. A real itinerary, with the stays named, comes back inside one working day.
