FROM OUR FIRST SEASON · MARCH 2025

What our guests took home.

Basant Lahore ran for the first time in March 2025. These are the words of the travellers who came — unedited, unpaid, and entirely their own.

"Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. I'd never been to Pakistan and my family was a bit nervous about it. But from the moment Faisal met us at the airport, we never felt like tourists — we felt like guests. The rooftop day was something I'll think about for years. I keep telling people: just go."

"The food. I need to talk about the food. I came for the kites and I stayed for the nihari. Our host's mother cooked for us one night and I genuinely got a bit emotional. Nobody warns you that Lahore eats like this. I've put on three kilos and I'd do it again tomorrow."
Portrait of Marco De LucaMarco De LucaItalyMarch 2025
"We were a group of four friends, all photographers, and we can be difficult to please. The light in the old city in March is unreal — that warm, dusty gold. Day six, the golden hour walk through the lanes, that's the shot I've now got framed in my hallway at home."
Portrait of Priya NairPriya NairSingaporeMarch 2025
"I travel a lot for work and I was worried this would feel like a packaged tour. It didn't. It felt like visiting a friend who happens to live in one of the most extraordinary cities on earth. Slow, real, no rushing from monument to monument. We sat. We ate. We talked. That was the whole point."
Portrait of David OkaforDavid OkaforCanadaMarch 2025
"My wife's only complaint was that we didn't book two weeks. The accommodation was a heritage haveli, not a hotel — waking up to the call to prayer and the pigeons on the rooftop, I mean, come on. You can't fake that. Already trying to work out when we can come back."
Portrait of Thomas & Greta BergThomas & Greta BergSwedenMarch 2025
"Full disclosure: the kite flying itself was a bit lighter than I'd imagined because of permissions that year, and our host told us that honestly before we booked. But honestly? It didn't matter. The week was so full of everything else — the crafts, the kitchens, the lanes at night — that I barely noticed. Go for the whole week, not just the festival."
Portrait of Aisha RahmanAisha RahmanUnited StatesMarch 2025
"From the moment we arrived, every detail was handled. The rooftop gathering on festival day was something I will never forget — the colour, the music, the food. Lahore at its most alive."
Eleanor M.United Kingdom
"Our host made the old city feel like home. The cooking session with a local family was the highlight of our trip. We never once felt like tourists."
David & Sophie L.Canada
THE INAUGURAL EDITION

Basant Lahore 2025 — the first week.

In March 2025, we welcomed our first small group of international travellers for a single, all-inclusive week around the Basant festival. It was our inaugural season — one group, one week, and a handful of guests who trusted us before anyone else had. Their words above are the only proof we have that we did it right.

MORE THAN A FESTIVAL

A little wind.
A whole lot of Lahore.

Basant is a feeling before it is a festival. The first warmth of spring. Yellow spilling into the streets. The chatter of rooftops and the promise of one more cup of chai.

Our journeys bring you closer to that spirit — through the crafts, kitchens, and old-city corners that make Lahore impossible to forget.

What is included in the week?+

From $7,000 per person, your customized week includes boutique heritage accommodation for six nights, all ground transport within Lahore, daily meals and culinary experiences, all Basant-related activities, and a dedicated local host throughout. International and domestic flights are not included.

When in March do the tours run?+

The Basant festival falls on 12–14 March. Our one-week journey runs from 9 to 15 March — you arrive on the 9th and depart on the 15th. Official permissions for rooftop access and specific festival activities are confirmed closer to the date; your host will confirm these before any booking or payment.

Does the week include kite flying?+

The festival runs 12–14 March, with rooftop gatherings and hosted activities throughout the week. Kite flying and festival viewing are only possible where officially authorized at the time of your visit; no restricted string or prohibited activity is included, and a rich cultural itinerary is always provided as the alternative.

Is this suitable for international travellers?+

Yes. The week is designed for international visitors. We handle accommodation, transport, food, and hosted experiences on the ground. You arrange your own flights, visa, and travel insurance. Tell us any dietary or accessibility needs in your request.

How many people can join?+

Requests are for 1 to 12 guests. Add your group’s ages, dietary needs, and any mobility requirements. Rooftops and old-city streets can involve stairs and uneven ground, so access needs should be confirmed before booking.

How do reservations and cancellations work?+

Submitting the form sends a request, not a confirmed reservation. No payment is taken here. Availability, final pricing, the meeting point, and cancellation terms must be agreed with your host before you commit.
