Our traveller values & expectations
Come with curiosity, make room for different perspectives and treat the people and places we visit with care. Read our Traveller Values before applying. These shared expectations do not replace your booking terms or rights.
What makes a House of Raj journey different?
Natasha lived in India for more than ten years. The existing journey combines landmark visits, local guides, craft experiences and time in the company of other women. Ask her what is planned for your departure.
Can I come on my own?
Yes. House of Raj welcomes women travelling on their own and friends travelling together. Talk to Natasha about your preferred room arrangement and what you would like from the experience.
Which airports and arrival times should I plan for?
The journey begins in Delhi. Your joining instructions will explain arrival windows, airport transfers and your return arrangements for a one-week or two-week stay. Please wait for the final joining instructions before arranging international flights.
What style of accommodation should I expect?
Expect hotels and guesthouses. Gallery images from previous departures show a style of stay, rather than guaranteeing a particular property or room. Ask for the hotel list and facilities for your departure before booking.
How active is the journey?
Expect city walks, markets and historic sites, including steps and uneven surfaces. Ask Natasha about travel times, walking distances and opportunities to rest. Discuss your access requirements with Natasha before committing.
How do applications and deposits work?
Choose your departure, trip length and room, then send your application with your phone number. Natasha will call or email to discuss the journey, deposit and balance options. No payment is taken with your application. The required financial protection and booking details must be in place before a deposit is taken.
What does the carbon estimate include?
We are preparing an estimate for the confirmed route. It needs to state its calculation method, assumptions, date and which transport and activities are counted. No estimate is published until those inputs have been checked.
What if I have a concern or need support?
Please speak to Natasha about questions before booking and any concerns during the trip. Ask for the confirmed on-trip support and emergency-contact arrangements. Raising a concern does not affect your right to complain or seek a remedy.
