A Note from our Founder
India is one of the most vibrant, colorful, and enthralling places in the world.
Its diversity of people, cultures, and cuisine makes it a dream for curious travelers with open minds, adventurous spirits, and a deep appreciation for destinations that defy comparison.
Few countries leave such a lasting imprint on even the most seasoned globetrotters. India is full of the unexpected, but one thing is certain: you won’t return home the same traveler you were before this Galavant.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“What a fantastic trip! I loved discovering the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of India with Alle and Linda. All aspects of our India adventure were meticulously curated, from the exquisite hotels, to the unforgettable palace visits, to the thrilling tuk tuk and boat rides, to the yummy meals (not the least of which was a farm-to-table feast in a dream outdoor setting). I could not have asked for a better group of curious, warm and fun women to experience the sights and hidden treasures of this beautiful country with.”

“I've been on multiple group trips and The Galavant Society stands out. Not only is it luxurious, but they've thought of every detail. I traveled with them to India (somewhere I didn't feel like I could go alone), and it is now one of my favorite countries and trips of all time. I highly recommend traveling with them, you won't be disappointed!”

“The trip to India with The Galavant Society was one of the most amazing travel experiences I’ve ever had! Everything was beautifully organized and thought through with every location, hotel, restaurant perfectly selected. Alle and Linda cultivated a welcoming and fun group dynamic and the women I met on this trip were the best part of the experience.

A Few Considerations:
✨ You’re cool with long car rides & small planes
To reach the most magical corners of India, we’ll travel by road and regional flights. Some drives will be 4–5+ hours on rural, bumpy roads, and internal flights may use smaller aircraft. Motion sickness-prone gals, please keep this in mind!
✨ You love luxury, but appreciate character
Many of the hotels on this trip are former palaces and heritage properties. That means at some hotels, no two rooms are alike. We’ve chosen these hotels because they reflect the true spirit of India and, of course, prioritize safety, comfort, service, and style.
✨ You’re comfortable walking & climbing stairs
India’s historic sites (and even a few hotels) come with stairs—sometimes up to 4 flights. We’ll have porters for your luggage, but you should be confident walking several miles a day and standing for long periods.
✨ You’re ready to stretch yourself as a traveler
India is vibrant, complex, spiritual, and at times overwhelming. It’s not Western Europe. But if you come with an open heart and a curious mind, it just might change your perspective forever.
✨ You’re ready for a full (but fabulous) itinerary
To make the most of your time in India, this trip is intentionally full and fast-paced. You’ll have some free afternoons and flexible meals, but many days will be on the go. It’s not a slow, lounge-by-the-pool kind of trip, but any time you’re in need of a little R&R, we always encourage you to take the time you need!
✨ You’re open & excited to try Indian cuisine
We’ll enjoy plenty of traditional Indian meals, from street food favorites to upscale dining experiences. Some meals are set menus with limited substitutions, and while we do our best to accommodate dietary needs, flexibility is key. That said, many of our hotels offer Western or international options if you ever need a reset.
If you have any questions about the above, we’re happy to chat! Just email us at hello@thegalavantsociety.com

What to know
BEFORE YOU GO
-
Our Galavants are crafted for women 21 and up who crave meaningful travel, rich cultural experiences, and genuine connection. You don’t need a travel buddy, a milestone birthday, or a particular life stage to join us, just an open mind, a kind heart, and a sense of adventure. Whether you’ve traveled the world or this is your first big trip, you’ll feel right at home.
-
Our travelers typically range from their late 20s to mid 60s, with most falling somewhere between 30 and 55. But truthfully? Age isn’t the defining factor for joining a Galavant, energy is. We attract curious, independent, kind-hearted women who value depth, conversation, and the thrill of discovering something new. If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.
-
Absolutely, most of our gals do! We’ll pair you with a roommate whenever possible. If not, you can choose to pay a single supplement or wait for a future trip. Questions? Email us at hello@thegalavantsociety.com

This trip is more guided due to the number of destinations we’re visiting, but you’ll still have free time in Delhi and Jaipur, a few meals on your own, and chances to opt into or out of activities.
Want more flexibility? We’re happy to help you arrive early or stay later to explore at your own pace.
