Collaboration Trips

Each year, we collaborate with talented creatives and field experts to offer one-of-a-kind journeys across India. These special tours are co-led by the expert themselves, often alongside one of our brilliant cultural guides from our India-based team. Carefully curated by us, each journey blends immersive travel with a specialist focus - whether it's exploring India through the art of photography, the symbolism of sacred geometry, or the rich layers of regional cuisine. These are deeply thoughtful experiences that offer a fresh and fascinating perspective on the country.

Portrait of India:

Rajasthan Photography Tour 

​

With Steven Gosling

​

29th Oct - 12th Nov 2025​

 

From £4,645 pp​

*3 spaces left*

Our Rajasthan photography tour is designed for those who want to see and capture the soul of India beyond the postcard views. Step away from the usual tourist trail and into a world of vivid colour, texture, and storytelling. You’ll photograph everything from ancient stepwells carved deep into the earth to a vibrant festival pulsing with energy, from nomadic herders moving through the desert with their animals to sun-drenched turbans unfurled like art installations. We’ll take you into the workshops of master artisans, through the maze of spice markets, and alongside weavers who bring exquisite sarees to life - many of these moments are entirely exclusive to this journey. It’s a rare chance to experience Rajasthan with your lens, and your senses, wide open.

Along the way, you’ll dive into local life: try your hand at traditional block printing, ride through the streets with a pioneering women-led rickshaw team, and lose yourself in the colour and chaos of ancient bazaars.
