Textile, Arts & Craft Tours in India

Overflowing with colours, textures and designs, India's textile heritage makes for a fascinating travel experience. Such is the diversity - the splendid silks of North and South India, the colourful mirror work, block printing and tie-and-dye work of Rajasthan and Gujarat, the magnificent embroidery chikankari of Lucknow, to name a few - that you can spend months just exploring India’s textile heritage.

The Indian handicrafts range from wooden artefacts, clay pots, terracotta products, metallic ornaments, pottery, sculptures to glass pieces. These arts and crafts are specimens of the cultural diversity and rich artistic tradition of the country.

We promise to take you beyond the guidebooks into the traditional textile centres for authentic, unique and interactive experiences with local artisans who carry on indigenous arts that are thousands of years old. If you do not wish to spend full two-three weeks doing a 'textile tour', we can seemlessly insert few day of interaction with textile artisans during a more 'regular' tour of yours - afterall, where ever you might be in India, you are never far from an amazing textile tradition.
