Experience India’s wild beauty, deep traditions, and fearless women on our women only tour
India for Holi
Book now with $550. Pay the rest at your pace.
12 days starting at $4,450 USD.
Up to 14 solo female travelers.
India is pure sensory overload — in the best possible way. It’s spice and chaos, laughter and stillness, tuk-tuks and temples, all tangled together in a country that will crack your heart wide open and then fill it right back up.
Over 12 unforgettable days, we’ll zigzag from Delhi’s spice-scented bazaars to Rajasthan’s desert skies, eating, learning, and laughing our way through it all. You’ll share chai with acid attack survivors at Sheroes Café, ride in hot-pink rickshaws driven by powerhouse women, and fall asleep under the stars in a desert camp where the silence somehow hums. You’ll even try your hand at block printing — no art degree required.
This isn’t a tour where you stare out the window. It’s a sisterhood-on-the-move kind of journey — curious, bold, and full of heart. India will challenge you, charm you, and maybe even change you. Come solo, leave with stories, colors on your clothes, and a few new friends who just get it.

Airport pickup, hotel check-in, and welcome dinner.
Namaste and welcome to India. Touch down in Delhi, where ancient temples, buzzing markets, and modern chaos share the same heartbeat. Your SoFe guide will meet you at the airport and bring you to our hotel — a calm landing spot before the adventure kicks off.
Tonight, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner to get to know each other, sample our first Indian dishes, and toast to the colorful days ahead.

Day 2 Discover Old & New Delhi – Markets, Monuments & Masala
Ride through Old Delhi, visit a Sikh temple, and share dinner with a local family.

We’ll stop at a historic 18th-century Sikh temple, an oasis of calm amid the chaos, before continuing to the lively Chandni Chowk square—a feast for the senses in every direction.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, follow your nose to Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest spice market. Cardamom, chili, cinnamon—it’s all here, piled high in colors so vivid they almost don’t look real. After some downtime, we’ll meet again in the late afternoon for a hands-on cultural experience with a local family.
Try on traditional Indian attire, learn wedding customs, dance to Bollywood beats, and cook together for a delicious, laughter-filled meal that captures the warmth of real Indian hospitality.

Day 3 Agra & the Taj Mahal – A Love Story in Marble
Meet the women of Sheroes Café and watch the Taj glow at sunset.
Buckle up as we say goodbye to Delhi and head south to Agra, perched along the majestic Yamuna River. Our first stop is Sheroes Hangout Café, a groundbreaking space run by acid attack survivors who’ve turned their pain into power. Sit down for coffee and conversation with these incredible women and see firsthand how they’re rewriting their own stories.
After a bit of downtime at the hotel, we’ll visit India’s most iconic landmark — the Taj Mahal. As the sun dips low, the marble shifts from gold to rose, a quiet reminder of the love that inspired its creation. Take your time to wander, reflect, and snap those photos that never quite capture the feeling of being there in person.

In the evening, we’ll see Jaipur from a fresh perspective—the back of a bright pink rickshaw. Driven by women from low-income households, this inspiring initiative gives 200 women new opportunities and a voice in their community. As we zip through bustling market lanes, past the illuminated Albert Hall Museum, and stop for a cup of steaming chai, you’ll experience Jaipur’s magic and empowerment all at once.

We’ll make our way to the top for sweeping views of the rugged Rajasthani countryside—a panorama fit for queens.
In the afternoon, step into Jaipur’s creative side with a hands-on block printing demonstration. Watch as artisans stamp vivid patterns onto cloth with perfect precision, turning blank fabric into bold art. It’s a glimpse into the centuries-old craftsmanship that defines this city’s soul.

This afternoon, take time to rest, wander the grounds, or simply listen to the stillness before sitting down for lunch to fuel up for our evening safari.
As the sun dips below the horizon, sip hot chai and homemade snacks, then gather around the bonfire under a sky full of stars. Out here, it’s just you, the quiet, and the wild.

Day 9 Lakes, Legends & a Glimpse Into Your Future
Arrive in Udaipur and dive into Rajasthan’s most romantic city.
This morning, we’ll set off on a scenic drive to Udaipur, the famed City of Lakes, where palaces float on water and every corner seems designed for daydreaming. Upon arrival, the day is yours—wander the historic old city, stop by the ornate Jagdish Temple, or simply enjoy the calm from our beautiful heritage hotel.
Later, meet with a renowned local astrologer and palm reader, ready to share stories written in your stars. As night falls, we’ll gather for a vibrant Rajasthani folk show, where music, dance, and color weave together in a perfect finale to our time in Rajasthan.

Day 10 Holi – The Festival of Color, Chaos & Pure Joy
Celebrate India’s most magical day with a local family.
Today is the moment we’ve been waiting for—Holi, India’s most joyful celebration of color, love, and light. Forget the crowds; we’ll be welcomed into the home of a local family, where the festival is intimate, authentic, and completely unforgettable.
Music fills the air, laughter spills into the courtyard, and soon you’re swept up in the moment—throwing bright clouds of color and flower petals, dancing to Bollywood beats, and learning local traditions and rituals most travelers never get to see. Between bursts of pink and gold, the family serves their favorite homemade dishes, each one a story in itself.
It’s messy, it’s beautiful, and it’s everything India is known for—chaotic, warm, generous, and alive. There’s no better way to close this journey than covered in color and completely in love with the spirit of this place.
Whether you choose to unwind and relax at your accommodation, venture into local markets for shopping, or embark on further exploration of the area’s attractions, the choice is entirely yours. Ask your guide for recommendations!
Meals: breakfast and lunch

HAND-PICKED ACCOMMODATION
Our stays in India are as full of character as the country itself. From boutique hotels tucked in Jaipur’s pink lanes to heritage havelis overlooking Udaipur’s lakes and luxury glamping tents under desert stars, every stop is chosen for its comfort, location, and story.
Each property offers a sense of place—thoughtful design, warm hospitality, and local touches that make you feel part of the destination, not just a visitor passing through. Expect premium comfort, beautiful views, and a few surprisesyou’ll still be talking about long after you get home.
Ranbanka Palace, Jaipur
Ranbanka Palace, Jodhpur feels like stepping into a royal love story. Built in 1927 and still home to the original family, it’s vintage but comfortable in all the ways that matter.
We choose Ranbanka because it captures the heart of heritage Jodhpur without feeling staged. It’s close to the city’s best sights, filled with local character, and the kind of place where you can unwind after a day of exploring — by the pool, in the courtyard, or under the warm desert sky.
Godward Camp, Jawai
Godwad Camp sits in the heart of Jawai’s leopard country, surrounded by granite hills and endless open sky. The canvas tents are simple but beautifully done, with thoughtful touches that make it feel both wild and comfortable. Evenings end around the fire as the sounds of the desert drift in — a reminder that you’re in the middle of something untamed.
We choose Godwad Camp because it offers authentic wilderness without giving up comfort. The camp is run by locals who know every story of this land, the food is fresh and home-style, and it’s perfectly placed for sunrise and sunset leopard safaris. It’s the kind of place that captures the soul of Rajasthan — raw, quiet, and real.
Royal Regent, Agra
Royal Regent is our modern hideaway in the heart of Agra, just minutes from the Taj Mahal. The rooms are bright and comfortable, the rooftop terrace is perfect for sunset drinks, and there’s a quiet sense of calm that feels like a gift after a day in the city.
We choose Royal Regent because it’s stylish, reliable, and close to everything without feeling touristy. The staff are warm, the food is surprisingly great, and the rooftop views remind you why you came — to see the world’s most famous monument glow in the evening light.
We match you with your most compatible roommate
We get it—sharing a room with a stranger can feel like a gamble. That’s why we’ve partnered with a professional matchmaker and psychologist to create a bespoke roommate matching quiz, designed to pair you with someone you’ll actually click with.
Whether you’re an early riser or a night owl, a social butterfly or someone who values quiet time, our quiz helps ensure you’re matched with the best possible roommate. And if you prefer your own space, you always have the option to upgrade to a private room.
No stress, no awkward surprises—just a trip made better by great company.
MEET Komal
YOUR GUIDE FOR THE TRIP
Kamal has been working in the travel industry from past 10 years. She started her career in tourism as a tour guide at time when it was very rare for women to work in such a profession and hence became one of the first female guides in Delhi.
Komal is very passionate about India and its culture and that’s what she loves about her job too. She gets to introduce people to the real India and its people and change a lot of misconceptions that exist about India. 🙂
There’s a very interesting fact about the diversity of India, it is said India is so diverse that in every 100 kms the dialect, the culture, the taste of food, the lifestyle and even the way chai is made changes, isn’t that fascinating! Her aim is to uplift the local businesses and promote responsible travel in India where we can leave positive footprints wherever we go!
*things happen, so if it’s not Komal, you will have another incredible, experienced, and vetted guide.
