Breakaway

Breakaway designs bespoke and small-group journeys across India built around its handmade heritage, running textile tours through indigo dyeing, block printing and embroidery regions, alongside culinary, heritage and wellness itineraries. Rather than a fixed brochure, trips are built around a traveller's interests, whether that is meeting weavers in West Bengal, exploring Ajrakh printing in Gujarat, or following a bespoke route through a region entirely.

Founded by a traveller recognised as an authority on India's handmade heritage, and run day to day by a team of women, Breakaway has been operating for over a decade under its signature Beyond The Brochure philosophy: finding places genuinely overlooked by mainstream tourism. Guides in each city are women with deep local knowledge, and trips are designed to help solo travellers feel supported through constant contact rather than a single check-in call. Guests typically leave having met specific artisans and craftspeople by name, not just visited a craft market.
