What’s new in 2027? In line with our constant efforts to refine our itineraries, the Gujarat tour has been extended by one extra night and day, allowing for a more leisurely pace and fewer one-night stays. We’ve upgraded our finishing point hotel and added new artisan village visits, a wildlife jeep safari and extra included meals. We’re very excited about the 2027 tour and hope you are too!
