India & Nepal | A Father-Daughter Odyssey: From Fairytales to Palaces

"He always called her his princess. This year, she took him to live like a king."

When Sarah's father used to call her his princess, she dreamed of castles. Years later, she made it real — planning a father–daughter journey through India and Nepal. With Travel Designer Albee Ning orchestrating every detail, their two-week trip felt seamless and magical — from sunrise at the Taj Mahal and palace stays fit for royalty to a scenic flight over Mt. Everest and private guides who made every step effortless.

When Sarah was a little girl, her father always called her his princess. He would tell her stories of distant lands, of kings, queens, and magical palaces. Years later, Sarah decided it was her turn to return the gift: to take her dad on a journey where those fairytales came to life.

With Travel Designer Albee Ning carefully customizing every detail, their two-week adventure through India and Nepal unfolded like a dream — effortless, intimate, and filled with wonder.

Together they wandered the marble courtyards of palaces once reserved for royalty, now transformed into heritage hotels. "The hotels (most being converted palaces) were nothing like we've ever experienced," Sarah shared afterward. Her father, who once promised her castles in bedtime stories, was now sipping tea in the shade of one.

From the Taj Mahal at sunrise, glowing softly in the morning light, to a camel ride across the Thar Desert as the sky turned to gold — each day gave them a new chapter. Evenings brought traditional dances under starlit courtyards, croquet on palace lawns, and long conversations only a father and daughter could share.

In Nepal, a scenic flight over the Himalayas gave them their most breathtaking moment: Mt. Everest piercing the clouds, a sight they thought they might miss because of the haze on the ground. It was the kind of memory that felt both larger than life and deeply personal.

For Sarah and her dad, this wasn't just sightseeing. It was a father–daughter fairytale brought to life — proof that the bonds built in childhood can be celebrated in the grandest ways when we travel together.
