Experience the Stories Behind the Products

Turning Tide Travel creates micro-group and bespoke journeys through India, with a focus on textiles, craft, culture, and the people behind living traditions.

​

These are not rushed sightseeing trips. They are carefully planned journeys for travelers who want meaningful access, beautiful places to stay, hands-on experiences, and a deeper understanding of India’s craft and cultural landscapes.

​

I stay in Bangalore for part of the year and personally accompany many journeys, helping guests navigate the practical details while opening doors to makers, markets, workshops, homes, studios, and places that are often difficult to access independently.

How I Work

Every journey is built with care, flexibility, and a deep respect for the people and places visit. 

I help with route design, trusted guides and drivers, boutique accommodations, craft access, and the many small details that make travel in India feel more supported.
