What this is
For a lot of Indian families, food is the thing that decides whether a trip abroad is enjoyable or endured, especially for parents, grandparents, and anyone following Jain dietary rules. We travel a chef with the group, source ingredients locally, and cook proper meals wherever the itinerary happens to be that day. Nobody eats plain bread for a week.
“I've watched a whole family relax on day two of a trip, and it had nothing to do with the sightseeing.”
What you get
The parts that make it work
These aren't upsells. They're the things we've learned matter most in this particular format, so they're standard.
02
Jain and satvik done properly
No onion, no garlic, no root vegetables, cooked by someone who understands why, not just what.
03
Kitchens arranged in advance
Hotels and apartments booked specifically for kitchen access, confirmed before your deposit is taken.
04
Ingredients sourced locally
We map the Indian grocers and wholesale markets on your route before the trip starts.
How it runs
From first message to landing back home
Four stages, and you know exactly what's expected of you at each one.
- Step 01
Tell us the dietary rules
Exactly as your family follows them. The strictness level changes the hotels we can use.
- Step 02
Route built around kitchens
Accommodation chosen for cooking facilities first, view second. It's the one trade-off we insist on.
- Step 03
Chef and paperwork
Chef assigned, visas filed, and a sample menu shared with you for approval before departure.
- Step 04
Eat well, all trip
Hot meals on your schedule, adjusted as you go if the group's appetite changes.
Where it works best
Indian Chef trips we're asked for most
These destinations suit this format particularly well, but the format travels anywhere we do.
Other ways to travel
Not quite the right fit?
Formats combine more often than not: plenty of family trips are also self-drive, and most corporate groups want private time built in.
