A New Era of Luxury Travel in India

In a world overflowing with five-star sameness, The Forbidden Journeys redefines what luxury travel in India truly means. Here, luxury is not about abundance — it’s about access, authenticity, and awakening.

Our journeys are crafted for those who seek something deeper than itineraries and indulgence — travellers who crave transformation, not just travel. From Rajasthan’s royal estates to Himalayan monasteries, every journey is an invitation into the soul of India, designed for the discerning few.

Our Philosophy: The Art of Forbidden Luxury

At The Forbidden Journeys, luxury is not bought — it’s earned through discovery. Our name reflects what we do best: offering access to experiences unavailable to the ordinary traveller — intimate, rare, and deeply human.


1. Authenticity Over Aesthetics

We replace superficial luxury with soulful depth. Picture a private dinner under the desert stars at a forgotten fort, or a one-on-one conversation with a royal jeweller in Jaipur. These are moments money alone cannot buy — they must be curated through connection.

2. Transformation Over Transit

Our journeys are designed to change you from within. Whether it’s meditating with monks in Ladakh, learning forgotten crafts from Rajasthani artisans, or walking through the salt plains of Gujarat — each experience reconnects you with the essence of India.

3. Access Over Excess

Through years of personal relationships with India’s most private hosts — from palace families to preservationists — we open doors to a side of India that few ever see.

Crafted in India, Designed for the World

India is not a destination; it’s an emotion. Our approach to luxury travel experiences in India blends modern comfort with ancient wisdom. Every itinerary supports local communities, safeguards heritage, and invites travelers to engage meaningfully — not consume passively.

Our curated experiences range from wellness retreats in Kerala to royal trails through Rajasthan, spiritual immersions in Varanasi, and wildlife odysseys in Madhya Pradesh. Each is unique, yet bound by one purpose — to make luxury travel feel alive again.
