Join WMF in the regal city of Patiala, India for a special Escapade exploring Sikh heritage, royal architecture, music, and India’s traditions of craft and hospitality.
Travelers will stay at the historic Ran Baas Palace, the former guesthouse of the Patiala Maharajas, now transformed into an elegant heritage hotel.
This exclusive experience will be hosted by Ms. Priya Paul, WMF India Board Member, and will offer a uniquely intimate window into Punjab’s artistic legacy, from traditional music and cuisine to iconic monuments and modernist expressions.
Key trip activities include:
- Curated visits to museums and cultural sites across Patiala, highlighting the city’s royal past and rich Sikh history.
- An excursion to Chandigarh, including a special guided tour of sites such as the whimsical Rock Garden of Le Corbusier, an extraordinary example of landscape art emblematic of the artist and designer’s modernist legacy.
- Evenings of candlelit dinners at historic venues, featuring local cuisine, storytelling, and live musical performances.
- Insightful discussions on heritage preservation across both region and India as a whole, led by WMF experts and local stewards.
