The right number of like-minded travellers to make new friends.
Your dates. Your group. Our expertly-designed itinerary.
Tailored to your interests, a bespoke travel experience.
Combines the hallmarks of any B&R itinerary (excellent hotels and beautiful routes) with the freedom of pacing each day exactly the way you like.
Throughout the day, a knowledgeable local guide provides insider access and expert tips. At night, you can explore and dine on your own.
Our B&R guides are with you throughout, anticipating needs, translating languages, providing advice and—above all—facilitating fun.
We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they’ve had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.
These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.
“I can’t say I really ‘work out,’ but I’m in good shape and am relatively active.”
“I enjoy a good walk or ride, and feel comfortable while on the move.”
“I get moving at least once a week, and don’t mind a little sweat.”
“I get moving a few times per week and enjoy some exertion.”
“I want to feel invigorated each day and going hard is how I like to do that.”
Experience the hustle of India’s vibrant capital city, Delhi, before heading out to the rural lands of Rajasthan, where the city gives way to vast unrelenting deserts and abnormally green lush landscapes. Immerse yourself in the omnipresent colours and smells, maneuver an elephant traffic jam and explore the opulent palaces and forts where we will be staying. This is Butterfield & Robinson’s India—a land of people that conquer and create today, as much as they did centuries ago.

Situated in the north-eastern quarter of the Walled City, RAAS is comprised of 4 charismatic ‘rose-red’ sandstone buildings dating back to the 18th century. With its vistas and grand guestrooms, gardens and private stables, RAAS is a microcosm of the city. And, like virtually every home in Jodhpur, almost every room in the hotel enjoys a spectacular view of Mehrangarh Palace. View hotel website »
This former hunting lodge of the Maharaja of Jodhpur is now a delightfully intimate retreat. Comfortable rooms and modern baths blend with the ancient aesthetics of Narlai, while the sound of gentle chanting from the many nearby temples and mosques adds a spiritual element to our stay. Chef Nate Singh prepares meals from secret recipes handed down for generations. View hotel website »
Tucked away in the Aravalli hills of Rajasthan, the 18thC resort has undergone years of restoration and reconstruction to regain its past glory. An impressive structure, it is now a boutique hotel with 23 suites and six tents. Each suite is unique: luxurious and embellished with marble and semi-precious stones, yet equipped with the most modern of conveniences. View hotel website »
The best moments were the unscripted ones -- buying masala tea from a roadside stand, bargaining with local villagers for costume jewelry, talking to local school children.
"We never wanted to be the biggest travel company in the world, just the best.
— George Butterfield
