ABOUT OUR BUYING TRIPS

We believe we can provide you with the business trip of a lifetime!

Intimate groups of 6-8 individuals will have an itinerary customized to that group's particular needs and interests. In contrast to the bus tours frequently seen in Asia where participants are led to vendors offering inflated "wholesale" prices, we offer personal introductions to suppliers who only sell to large wholesale buyers.  Tourists and small quantity buyers are typically not aware of or able to gain access to these sources.

No tour operator or travel guide can offer a combination of business opportunities, luxurious accommodations, logistical support and an insiders introduction to Delhi and the cities of Rajasthan.

Imagine residing in an historic haveli (traditional small palace from the era of the British Raj). Your hosts are a charming couple.  Roberto Nieddu, a Sardinian, and his wife Cathy, a Canadian, have transformed a relic of Rajasthan's past into a guest residence with the amenities of a top-grade boutique hotel.  Roberto's personal Nepalese chef prepares Italian cuisine blended with Asian inspirations. Your experience will feel more like visiting a friend than the typical business trip with a large and impersonal hotel as your quarters.

For your "business" day, you will be introduced to the largest and most reputable wholesale vendors.  These sources are  garnered from our extensive experience in the areas of home furnishings, textiles, jewelry, architectural elements, and treasures too numerous to mention. While wondering through acres of fascinating objects available at prices not found in the western world, your only task is to choose. We do all the "dirty" work and get the items to your final destination.

If you choose, personal sightseeing tours of historical sites are available.
