Women, Stories & Traditions - Experiencing India Through a Different Lens !!
Discover the women behind its flavours, crafts, hospitality, wellness & traditions.
Across India, women are creating, preserving and sharing experiences that offer travellers a more intimate connection with the country. From kitchens where family recipes and regional culinary traditions are passed from one generation to the next, to heritage properties and farms led by women, traditional crafts kept alive by skilled artisans and community initiatives creating new opportunities, these encounters reveal India through the people who call it home. The connection extends beyond culture and cuisine. Women are also at the heart of experiences centred around wellness, Ayurveda, meditation and mindful living — sharing knowledge of traditional healing practices, yoga and local approaches to wellbeing. A cooking demonstration with a local host in Kerala, time spent on a family farm, meeting women artisans in Rajasthan or Tamil Nadu, a stay at a woman-led Himalayan retreat or discovering Ayurveda through an experienced practitioner can each open a different window into Indian life.
What brings these experiences together is the personal story behind them. They offer an opportunity to meet the women who are keeping traditions alive, building livelihoods, caring for their communities and finding new ways to share their knowledge with travellers. For us, these encounters are not simply activities added to an itinerary; they are meaningful connections that support local enterprise while giving travellers a deeper appreciation of the people, traditions and values that shape India.
