An insider journey with a focus on CRAFTSMANSHIP
We travel through Rajasthan, where the state capital, Jaipur, has been designated a World Craft City and is renowned for world-class craftsmanship.
There is something special about craftsmanship, because it tells us so much about a place. You will join a personal and carefully curated insider journey, shaped by long-standing local relationships.
We visit family-run workshops and designers, where proud craft traditions remain a natural part of both local identity and everyday life.
Everything is carefully selected, from the hotels and passionate local guides to beautiful cafés, shops and restaurants.
We always travel in small groups of no more than 12 people.

Program
Departure from Copenhagen – Day 1
We travel from Copenhagen to Delhi and begin our journey towards Rajasthan.
Agra & the Taj Mahal – Day 2
In Agra, we will experience the Taj Mahal, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. I have included the Taj Mahal because it is such a special place to visit. Our local guide in Agra has many years of experience in cultural interpretation, and through his stories we will not only see the monuments, but also gain a sense of the city’s history.
Sunrise & onwards to Jaipur – Day 3
After watching the sun rise over the Taj Mahal, we continue towards Jaipur, also known as the Pink City. Along the way, we visit Chand Baori, one of Rajasthan’s most impressive stepwells. We arrive in Jaipur in the afternoon and begin with a delicious lunch before exploring some of the city’s best shops. We stay in a restored haveli, a small family-run hotel with a beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking the rooftops and temples of the Pink City.
The Old City – Day 4
The day begins with a walk through Jaipur’s Old City and its historic havelis, accompanied by our guide, who has a particular eye for the city’s architectural heritage. We have lunch in a beautifully restored haveli recognised by the Michelin Guide, and later visit Nila House, where traditional craft techniques and materials are presented in a contemporary context. We continue to Chameli Market, historically known as one of the city’s oldest centres for gemstones and silver jewellery. The day ends with drinks and dinner at the beautiful Bar Palladio.
Jaipur Awakens – Day 5
We experience Jaipur with the women of the Pink City Rickshaw Company, which employs female rickshaw drivers from low-income families. We visit the city’s flower market and experience the morning aarti at the Govind Dev Ji Temple. Later, we visit the City Palace, which still serves as the official residence of Jaipur’s royal family. After lunch in the beautiful oasis of Samode Haveli, we continue to Amber Fort. The fort is renowned for its impressive architecture and views of the hills surrounding Jaipur. We also visit the small and charming Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing.
Onwards to Chandelao – Day 6
Today, we travel to Chandelao, a small village outside Jodhpur, the Blue City. On our way out of Jaipur, we pass the colourful Patrika Gate and also have time to visit a small family-run paper factory. We have been visiting Chandelao for the past ten years.
It is a small, authentic village known for offering visitors a rare and undisturbed insight into traditional rural life in India. We stay at Chandelao Garh, a small historic fort that is still owned by Praduman Singh’s family. It has been carefully restored and now serves as a small, atmospheric hotel in the heart of the village. In the evening, we have dinner beneath the clear, starry sky in Chandelao.
Dabu & Sunder Rang – Day 7
The day begins with a beautiful morning walk through Chandelao, with cows in the streets and women dressed in colourful saris. After breakfast, we experience the traditional dabu technique. Dabu is a mud-resist printing technique using natural dyes. In the afternoon, we visit the Sunder Rang Arts and Crafts Centre. Sunder Rang is a very special place for Take Time to Care. We have been visiting the women for the past ten years and have worked on many small projects together. We are always given a warm welcome, and the visit offers a meaningful insight into how craftsmanship can create professional pride, community and new opportunities in a village such as Chandelao.
The Blue City – Day 8
We walk through Jodhpur’s Old City, where narrow streets, blue houses and small temples form a sea of blue beneath the mighty Mehrangarh Fort. We explore the bazaar around the Clock Tower before continuing up to the fort, which offers beautiful views across Jodhpur and the dry desert landscape surrounding the city. Jodhpur has a very special atmosphere. It is more raw than Jaipur, but also incredibly beautiful and magical, with its blue façades and old houses clustered beneath the walls of the fort. We also visit some of our favourite small places and greet the people we know before returning to Chandelao in the evening.
The Rhythm of Village Life – Day 9
The rhythm of life in Chandelao soon begins to feel familiar, with village life and its small everyday moments. There is time to say a proper goodbye – or perhaps see you again – to the women at the crafts centre and to the warm hospitality we always encounter in Chandelao. Later, we continue to Jodhpur Airport and fly to Delhi in the afternoon. We stay overnight in Aerocity, close to the airport.
Returning Home – Day 10
We pack our full suitcases and take a morning flight to Copenhagen, arriving at Copenhagen Airport in the late afternoon.
