“I travelled with a small group to Rajasthan in 2019 on a tour designed by Nicola and her trusted Delhi-based partner. We had an exceptional guide for the three-week journey, along with a dedicated driver and assistant, making every part of the experience seamless and well organised.

It was a superbly curated trip — beautiful accommodation, fascinating tours, and thoughtful planning that brought India’s history and culture to life. I was completely captivated by India and by Nicola’s deep knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine passion for the country. I would not hesitate to travel with her again.”

Glenburn Estate – A Special State of Mind

Dear Hushna-Tara and Andrew, A public thank-you letter from my heart. Please accept my apologies for the delay in writing to you. Despite the months since I stayed with you, Glenburn Estate is top of mind. My time at your ‘heavenly little plantation retreat’, as you call it, was a wonderful, warm and enriching experience. The hotel is outstanding; my room – well, I am already planning a complete refurbishment of mine at home, on a mini scale of course. The issue is… who is go

Rajasthan

If India had a stage, Rajasthan would be its grand performance. Palaces gleam like mirages, forts rise from golden rock, and desert winds carry stories older than memory. It’s the India most people picture first — the colours, the music, the camels, the chaos — and yet, it never feels like a cliché when you’re there. It feels alive. Basic Facts Area: ~342,239 km² (roughly the size of Finland) Population (2024): Approximately 81.9 million Capital / largest city: Jaipur Main

Madhya Pradesh

Some parts of India feel tucked away; Madhya Pradesh feels stretched wide open. Forests, plains, ancient caves, quiet rivers — the landscape changes every hour, but the feeling stays the same. It’s steady, unhurried, and deeply old. They call it the “Heart of India”, and when you’re there, you understand why. Everything pulses outwards from here — culture, history, wildlife, and a sense of space you don’t find in many other states. Basic Facts & Geography Area: ~308,000 km²

Sikkim & North Bengal

There’s a moment, somewhere on the climb from the plains of West Bengal into the Himalayas, when the air shifts. It cools, sharpens, and carries the scent of pine and wet earth. That’s when you know you’ve entered a different world. Sikkim and North Bengal sit side by side, but they feel like two siblings with very different personalities — one contemplative and small, the other sprawling and full of movement. Both are threaded with tea gardens, monasteries and mountains that

Tamil Nadu

There’s a rhythm to Tamil Nadu that gets under your skin — part temple bell, part bus horn, part sizzle of dosa batter on a hot plate. From misty hills to sun-bleached coasts, this is a state that feels both ancient and industrious, deeply spiritual yet constantly in motion. You can trace thousands of years of civilisation here, and still stumble across a woman stirring halva over an open fire by the roadside. Size & Comparison Area: 130,058 km² — about twice the size of Tas

Varanasi

If India has a heartbeat, it’s here — steady, ancient, and impossible to forget. In Varanasi, life and death share the same steps down to the river. The air smells of smoke, marigolds and ghee lamps, and the Ganges glows gold at dawn. It’s confronting and deeply beautiful all at once — a place that humbles you, and somehow, makes you feel more alive. Size & Comparison Area: Approximately 82 km² Population (2025): Around 1.8 million Comparable to: Bigger than Manhattan, sma
