Bespoke itinerary design starts from a blank page rather than a template — we work with you on your interests, available time, pace and priorities, then design a route across the regions and experiences that actually fit, rather than adapting an existing package. It is the service our founder built the company on, and it is where a trip that does not fit any standard circuit gets planned properly.

What it is

Rather than starting from one of our set itineraries, this service designs your trip from the ground up: a conversation about your interests, available time, physical pace and priorities, followed by a proposed route across the regions and experiences that genuinely fit what you have told us, with revisions until it is right.

It is the approach our founder built the company on, guiding visitors himself before Experience My India existed as a company, and it remains our most hands-on planning service.

Who it suits

Travellers whose trip does not fit neatly into a standard circuit — an unusual combination of regions, a specific interest that needs a specialist route, or simply a preference for something designed entirely around them rather than adapted from an existing package.

How it works

  1. Discovery conversation

    We talk through your interests, available dates, pace preferences, and any must-see or must-avoid elements.

  2. Draft itinerary

    We propose a route with regions, pacing and key experiences, explaining the reasoning behind each choice.

  3. Revisions

    We refine the plan based on your feedback until the itinerary fits what you actually want.

  4. Final planning and booking

    Once the route is confirmed, we handle the on-the-ground logistics, guides and accommodation booking.

Included and not included

  • Included: the design consultation, draft itinerary and revisions, final logistics planning.
  • Not included: international flights, visa fees, the accommodation and activity costs themselves (quoted transparently as part of the finished itinerary), personal expenses.

Duration and season

The design process itself typically takes a few weeks from first conversation to a confirmed itinerary, depending on complexity and how much revision is needed. Trips designed this way can run any length and any season, since the whole point is that nothing is fixed until it matches your priorities.

Know before you go

  • The more specific you can be about your priorities and any hard constraints, the faster we can get to a route that works.
  • This service works well combined with private guide hire and palace hotel stays for a fully bespoke trip end to end.
  • Start the conversation as early as you can if your dates fall in peak season, since some of the properties and experiences a bespoke itinerary might include need lead time to secure.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from your standard tour packages?

Standard packages are pre-designed routes; bespoke itinerary design starts from your specific interests and constraints with nothing decided in advance, and is built and revised around you.

How long does the design process take?

Typically a few weeks from the first conversation to a confirmed itinerary, depending on complexity and revisions.

Does this cost more than a standard package?

It reflects the extra planning time involved; we confirm the full cost once your itinerary is designed and quote it transparently.

Can I request changes after the first draft?

Yes — revisions are part of the process, and we work through them until the itinerary genuinely fits what you want.
