I've been going to India for years, usually by myself. Always Delhi and north, into the Himalayas. And through the years, clients would often tell me: “If you led a trip to India, I’d be the first one there!” I brushed it off. Until one day last year, I thought to myself what if. What if I created a trip through the most special people, places, tables, jewels & textiles, hotels of Rajasthan and shared that with women who’ve never been … women who may not have ever taken the time for an experience like this, for themselves. We’ve just returned. It was 5 of us, small & special. What I loved most was witnessing connection amongst the women, and slowly connection & new awareness to themselves. | Highlights: Sunrise at the Taj Mahal + Private Jewelry Shopping in Jaipur + Morning Yoga at a 15th Century Temple in an abandoned town.

So often there is a misconception that a place is unattainable if one has just a week’s time to be away. There are so many places to dig into within 7-8 days! And richly, without sacrifice. One that may not immediately come to mind is Peru & Machu Picchu. Obviously, there are so many lovely pockets of this country if more time is possible (like getting onto a beautiful boat for several days through the Peruvian Amazon) but with just a week, one can feasibly experience The Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu & Cusco. Nashville-based clients, a family of 3 with an older teen son, had a pinch of time and wanted something compactly adventurous. This is it. | Ideal Time of Year: May-September, but weather can still be enjoyable outside of these months and with more gentle pricing.
