“The standard bearers among India Guides” Departures Magazine, UK

“Fiona Caul

field's Love Guides are beautifully produced, thoughtful guides to the truly special places and activities, treasured by locals, that make the visitor fall in love with the city. Most guidebook publishers aspire to give the reader insider, local wisdom on the best places to have an authentic experience, but few do more than recycle the same well-trodden sites, restaurants, shops and hotels. Caulfied's beautifully designed and crafted books set a very high bar for her competitors -- they are without question the best city guides for the discerning traveller to anywhere that we have seen.” Globe Corner, USA

“These cherishable guides are a gold mine of local know how. I was so impressed. For one thing, it's their appearance: each is hand-bound using old Indian paper making techniques, with a hand-woven, khadi cover and sold in a khadi pouch with a silk trim. I cherish the slubbed pages and rough hewen edges. Another reason I rely on them is because Caulfield's local knowledge is compelling, especially her encyclopedic shopping savvy - always handy in India. I'll never shop in India again without her. The loving way she compiled them is a rarity in the mass-produced guide book market.” Financial Times UK

“Love Story: We know a thing or two about guidebooks so thought it appropriate to give props to the insightful, Indian- centric Love Travel Guides series. Each book is beautifully printed and teeming with tips that could only be gleaned by local knowledge”. Wallpaper

“It looks, and feels, like a book of secrets. And so it is: all the savvy insider knowledge a traveller craves is here.” Weekend Australian

“The ultimate guide for the discerning vagabond. A chic way to discover the hidden gems of cities across India.” Vogue, India

“Love stories - A guide pretty enough to give as a gift” Conde Nast Traveller, UK

“Strikingly different, refreshingly intimate and beautifully designed" Travel & Leisure, India

“For the discerning traveller who wants authenticity in style” The Times of India

“Reading the book is like being chaperoned by a good friend” Longitude, USA

A happy memory popped up today, from 18 years ago in Manhattan, just a few months after the first Love Travel Guide had launched. Whoosh those years went fast, must be time to write a Love India soon!

A day of great karma according to my driver, Arun. Together we took off on a road trip across the mountain state of Himachal Pradesh, also known as the abode of the Gods and were rewarded with a fabulous day. March 8th was both International Women’s Day and also Maha Shivratri, a day in which Shiva, the Hindu deity is celebrated. We first joined a street procession, where Shiva and his wife Parvati were dancing on a tractor accompanied by Hanuman. Next we headed to the ancient Shiva temple of Baijnath. This early 13th century temple features exquisite carvings and also is the most important pilgrimage site for physicians who come here to ask for Shiva’s blessing so they can heal their patients. Maha Shivratri is the busiest day at the temple and yet as the only foreigner there I was welcomed into the the celebrations 🔱🙏

Women are incredible, here are some pics of the extraordinary female volunteers at The Golden Temple in Amritsar who along with male volunteers feed 100,000 people daily for free. Everyone is welcome to eat and welcome to help. I tried my hand at stirring an enormous pot of daal.

My third incredible morning in a row. Found myself in transit in Amritsar and like a moth to the flame, how could I resist the chance of returning to the Golden Temple. A place you feel as much as you see.

A time to celebrate, the splendid four day harvest festival known as Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Lohri in the Punjab and Makar Sankranti in the North is a time to welcome the change of season, bidding farewell to to winter and welcoming the harvest season as well as more broadly welcoming new beginnings. Wouldn’t it be great if we could welcome peace into our world at the moment!

Another one in my most beautiful shops in India list, the incredibly gorgeous haveli of Brigitte Singh. Brigitte and her team master artisans create the finest hand block print textiles in India, truly the antiques of tomorrow. Our Indagare Insider group had the extremely rare privilege of both shopping and seeing the workshop, including seeing the very final block, an abundant pomegranate tree.

Another one for my personal list of the most beautiful shops in India. Absolutely loved my recent visit to .jaipur with my insider journey travellers. Congratulations and and your amazing team of artisans, especially the potters and the ever growing team of miniature painters who are creating your stunning pieces, lovingly by hand.

Happy Diwali, a time to celebrate the victory of light over darkness, of good over evil and of knowledge over ignorance. Wishing the light of peace for all, especially for the people so grievously impacted in the Palestine-Israel and the Ukraine-Russia conflicts. Shine the light, be the light and give thanks to those that bring light to you 🪔🪔🪔

“Everybody is welcome”. A traffic snarl on our first morning changed our plans and we headed nearby to the Bangla Sahib Gurdwara. What would our world be like if all of us asked the question “How can I help” This kitchen, the langar, in Delhi provides a free simple meal to tens of thousands of people each day, everyone is welcome, everyone is equal.
