Est. Travel Atelier · India & The World

Travel,deeply.

Curators of extraordinary journeys across the world, and into the soul of India.

Our Quiet Manifesto

The world is not a checklist. We plan the journey, you bring the attention.

Featured Journeys

A handful, not a catalogue.

Two Worlds We Know Intimately

The international wild.
The soul of India.

Why Gallivant

Four quiet promises.
Kept on every trip.

01

Privately designed

Every itinerary is written from a blank page for one household. No group departures, no shared coaches.

02

On-ground partners

Decade-long relationships with the families, guides and conservancies who actually run the trip.

03

Slow by default

Fewer cities, longer stays. Time enough to learn the rhythm of a place before you leave it.

04

One designer, end to end

The person who plans your trip answers the phone at 2 AM in Patagonia. Always.

Films & field notes

Stories from the road.

“Just back from a 4 week tour of 'northern' India taylor made for us by Gallivant Journeys, Jaipur. All we can really say is WOW. Our trip took in Amritsar, McLeod Ganj, Delhi, Agra Jaipur, Bikaner, Khimsar, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur then across to Varanasi. Finished off with safari in Bandhavgar. Quite a tour around but all superbly organised by Gallivant Journeys and our contact, Saurabh. Drivers, flights, guides, hotels and entrance fees all sorted. The trip went flawlessly. Super regular contact before we arrived and daily contact when in India. The value compared to sorting the same trip through a UK company was superb. We honestly can't wait to return for our next Gallivant Journey! Super contact, communication and organisation. THANK YOU.”

“Thank you soo much dear Saurabhji for one of The most memorable trip. No words to express how minutest of the details were taken in to consideration by you. Every single intercity / state / region transfer being looked into and meticulously followed up. Everyday itinerary customized taking into consideration that we have a child as well as a senior citizen. Hotels picked close to Train and Bus stations, some at the hotel door step - almost literally. The picturesque route through Switzerland crafted with utmost perfection ensuring we miss no spot worth visiting. Heartiest thanks would be a small gesture for a beautiful Bon Voyage.”

“I had a superb tour of Udaipur, Pushkar, Jodhpur and smaller villages between. The wide variety of places and sights made every day fascinating and exciting; from breathtaking forts and palaces to historic homestays, village life and a multitude of temples. My driver knew the area well and shared my interest in Hindu temples, stories and spiritual music, so he would stop off at random places along the way to show me places of worship, some very ancient and others more modern - all different, beautiful and interesting. Coming from Europe, I am constantly amazed and moved by how friendly and welcoming Indian people are, perhaps especially in Rajasthan. My trip included wandering round a village in the early morning and being invited in for tea by two different families - giving me an opportunity to use my very limited Hindi. I was also invited to meet my driver's family in his native village and learned to make masala chai, (he promised to teach me to milk the cow next time!). Everything was perfectly organised, including local agents meeting me at various points to make sure I was comfortable - which I invariably was in the small hotels and homestays. There is no way I could have had this variety of experience in one week by travelling independently; the local knowledge and detailed care that went into the planning made maximum use of the time available - Gallivant Journeys will be in charge of all my wanderings in India from now on! Dhanyavaad!”

The highlights of the trip: breath taking views from the mountain top, delicious local cuisine that exploded with flavours, warm hospitality from the locals that made me feel like family. Can't wait to plan my next adventure with Gallivant Journeys: the trip was more than just a vacation, it was a journey of self discovery and growth. The people, the places, the experience is all came together to create an amazing adventure. Amazing experience!”
