Who's travelling

Travelling at a gentle pace

For travellers who want to see India or Sri Lanka without long days on the road: fewer stops, shorter drives, comfortable hotels and help at every step.

We plan these journeys around comfort: at least three nights in each place, flights instead of drives over four hours, and hotels with lifts or ground-floor rooms.

Many monuments have steps and uneven ground. Our guides know the easier ways in, where wheelchairs are available and when to visit to avoid the crowds. Tell us what you can and cannot manage, and we plan around it.

Where we would send you

Where it is easiest

Kerala
Houseboats, lakeside hotels and short distances, at sea level and in a gentle climate.
Udaipur
A city to enjoy from a boat and a hotel terrace, with the City Palace close by.
Sri Lanka
Short drives, garden hotels and the tea hills from the window of a train.
Delhi and Agra
A fast train between them, and the Taj Mahal with battery buses from the car park to the gate.
Bhutan
For those who can manage some walking and altitude, a calm country of short drives and small hotels.
