We are still here! Let us send you tips for travelling through Myanmar and stories from the road …
Sampan has just launched India Sutra – a literary journey in the company of bestselling novelist Abir Mukherjee. We begin in Delhi from where we will travel to Jaipur for two full days at the Jaipur Literature Festival – the world’s largest celebration of books and ideas – before exploring the Pink City beyond the Festival. From Rajasthan we fly east to Kolkata: first metropolis of the British Raj, the city of Abir’s parents and the setting for his Wyndham & Banerjee series of novels. Our final chapter unfolds in Odisha on India’s eastern coast. At Rambha Palace, Abir will lead two literary masterclasses.
In addition to the literary salon at the Penthouse, we are planning for other writers to join us over the course of the eleven days – with a peppering of panels and lively discussions. Between lazy lunches and leisurely excursions, we will enjoy good food in great company, with time to think, time to read, time to dream …
This journey takes place 12-22 January 2027. Booking is now open.
We believe that when coupled with creativity, our commitment to responsible travel – at heart, simply a compassion for the people and places our guests visit – does not detract from a journey but enriches it. This kind of travel can be transformative travel. Travel that does not suspend reality but instead encourages engagement with new realities. This is honest, authentic travel. Slow travel.
