About Beyond Taj Tours
Curated photography expeditions across India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. From the vibrant colors of Holi to the legendary Pushkar Camel Fair and the mesmerizing Chhau Dance of West Bengal. Every journey is a visual exploration of the rich culture, stunning architecture, and diverse landscapes these three countries have to offer.
Beyond Taj Tours Specials
Every tour is co-led by an award-winning local photographer, not a guide reading from a script, but someone chasing the same light and festivals you're about to shoot. Paired with Orange DMC's India and South Asia expertise, knowledge meets a genuine photographic eye.
Group tour or private journey, we only stay where walls have history: heritage havelis, boutique guesthouses run by families we know, hidden gems no booking site lists. Every property is personally vetted, because a perfect sunrise means little in an airport-lounge room.
Six travelers maximum, full stop. That means real conversations, not elbow room with fifteen strangers and their tripods. Schedules stay flexible enough to chase sudden golden light or an unplanned procession. Prefer total exclusivity? Go fully private, just you and your expert guide.
Our partnership with Orange DMC, one of Asia's award-winning DMC, opens doors standard tourism can't reach: private ceremonies, unmarked village workshops, access points tour buses drive past. Years of local relationships mean you're photographing real life, not a performance.
Beyond Taj Tours
Beyond Taj Tours was born from a simple truth: India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka hold countless stories beyond their iconic monuments. To bring these narratives to life, every location is selected for its photographic richness and cultural authenticity.
All journeys are officially operated by Orange DMC – one of Asia’s leading, award-winning Destination Management Companies. The tours are led by regional, award-winning photographers and local travel experts who provide travelers with deep regional access, daily workshops, and a truly authentic experience.
Looking for something completely custom? Bespoke photography journeys can be seamlessly crafted around your vision by Orange DMC. Whether you wish to explore the dramatic landscapes of the Himalayas, Sri Lanka's tea country, or hidden mountain villages, a tailor-made journey will be designed around your creative goals.
I’m Runa, a passionate, award-winning photographer whose fine-art photography has been exhibited internationally. For the past 17 years, my deepest passion has been exploring the diverse landscapes of India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.
Beyond Taj Tours was born directly from this private journey and love for travel. Over the years, I was fortunate to experience the true soul of these regions because local friends, other passionate photographers, and regional experts showed me the most exceptional, hidden photography spots. Throughout all these personal travels, Orange DMC seamlessly organized my logistics, letting me focus entirely on my creative vision.
This platform was developed to open those exact same doors for other photography enthusiasts. Together with the unparalleled operational expertise of Orange DMC, we want to share the places I genuinely love – in the right light, at the right time, and with the region's best local experts by your side.

The crowd throwing clouds of pink, then yellow, blue, and finally red powder created such a powerful sight — it was like watching a living work of art.
