About this destination

A curated journey through Palm Springs, USA — hand-planned by Rachana, with where to stay, what to do and where to eat all mapped out.

My experience

This is Rachana's own itinerary for Palm Springs, USA — the version she'd plan for a close friend. It threads together stays she rates like Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel and The Ritz Carlton Racho Mirage, a day-by-day plan, and the meals worth booking ahead. Everything here is personally travelled and curated — no filler.
