As we say goodbye to 2023, we reflect on the year that was. For some of us, it was the year we regained the confidence to venture far from home again after a few short years of being locked in by borders. For those who came to India, we were happy that you trusted us to keep you safe and healthy during your stay. Together we experienced the Desert Festival of Rajasthan, the Hidden Gems of the Himalayas, pilgrimages to Ladakh, Spiti and Dharamsala, and a Himalayan Retreat.

The sights, sounds and smells of that forest or the openness of the sky with a back drop of mountains are those experiences I treasu ..read more
