Best ten days of our lives — not an exaggeration
India felt overwhelming before we booked but Globalduniya made it feel like a private adventure. The highlight reel: Taj at sunrise, a textile merchant in Jaipur's old city who gave us a cup of chai, and a tiger at thirty metres in Zone Three of Ranthambore. Rambagh Palace was magnificent.

A private adventure — that is exactly what we want every guest to feel. The chai with the Jaipur merchant is one of those unscripted moments that only happen when you travel slowly and privately. Thank you, Oliver and Charlotte.

Tiger sighting at Ranthambore — worth every early morning
Six AM jeep safari in Ranthambore and a tigress and two cubs walked thirty metres in front of us. Nothing can prepare you for that. SUJÁN Sher Bagh was an extraordinary camp — candlelit dinners under the stars, wildlife walks at dawn. The Golden Triangle history combined beautifully with the wildlife finale.
