I wanted to take the time to thank you for all the hard work you put in to arrange a magical honeymoon for us. We had a ball. All the transfers worked like clockwork, the hotels were great and the route planning excellent. We really felt we were spoon-fed all the way through.

You guys were absolutely true to your word, the holiday experience we have been waiting for years. Big thanks for arranging our visit to Ruskin Bond's home, you are certainly more than a holiday provider.

A nation of vivid contrasts and unrivalled culture

From the snow-capped Himalayas in the north to the lush waters of the south, India is a place where landscapes and cultures change in the blink of an eye. It is at once chaotic and noisy, peaceful and calm and it is this diversity that makes it so compelling.

India is one of the world’s oldest civilisations, its culture shaped by thousands of years. It is a country where life is lived out in hundreds of local dialects. Every corner reveals a different reflection on the past, from the Taj Mahal to colonial churches and grand palaces built during the reign of the British Raj. And you’re just as likely to come across skyscrapers and glitzy malls as you are hilltop villages and tea plantations. Delhi  and  Mumbai  are wonderful places to see how the old and new intertwine.

Meaning ‘Land of Kings’, the landscape of Rajasthan in the north is littered with magnificent forts and palaces. From the state capital of Jaipur  and the Blue City of  Jodhpur  to the serene lakes of  Udaipur  and the dusty dunes of the Thar desert, Rajasthan is one of the most culturally rich pockets of India. The north is also home to the holy cities of  Varanasi ,  Rishikesh  and  Amritsar . Further north still also offers some of the world’s best hiking, with the mighty peaks of the Himalayas in Kumaon  and  Ladakh .

Head south and catch your breath for a moment in Kerala. Affectionately known as God’s Own Country, it’s a verdant state of emerald waterways and coconut groves, and home to the town of Fort Cochin .

And then there’s the wildlife.  Ranthambore ,  Bandhavgarh  and  Kanha  are home to some of the country’s highest tiger populations while the luxurious and remote  JAWAI  camp is the best place to catch a glimpse of the beautiful and elusive leopard.

A whirlwind of colours, sounds and smells, India’s energy is undeniably contagious and the best way to appreciate it is to throw yourself head first into its way of life.

Travel Designer

It's difficult to describe how vibrant and captivating India really is. It's the perfect place to explore as you're never short of things to do. Climb the Himalayas, relax at beautiful beaches, get lost wandering lively cities, or eat your way around the country so famous for its mouth-watering food.

Where to go

Agra and the Taj Mahal

The ultimate symbol of eternal love, the Taj Mahal is one of India’s most memorable and emotive sights.

The largest city in Punjab and the centre of the Sikh faith, Amritsar is a fascinating and tangibly spiritual destination.

Bandhavgarh

In the east of the vast Madhya Pradesh state, Bandhavgarh is one of India’s most popular national parks and hosts what is thought to be the highest density of Bengal tiger in the country.

Bangalore, otherwise known as Bengaluru, is a cosmopolitan city that boasts lovely green spaces and striking Victorian-era architecture and is a great place for dining, nights out and shopping.

Chandigarh is the capital of both of Haryana and Punjab states, located on their borders yet technically within neither, in the green foothills of the Sivalik mountain range.

India’s capital captures the past, lives in the present and looks to the future in a way that few other cities do. Perhaps daunting at first sight, a little exploring soon reveals a rich, diverse and fascinating culture.

Fort Cochin

Nestled on the northwest tip of Cochin’s peninsula, Fort Cochin is a quaint coastal region with strong links to its colonial history.

Gir Forest National Park

Gir National Park is a vitally important protected forest that is home to the last remaining wild population of the Asiatic lion in the world, as well as prolific birdlife and other animals.

The capital of Rajasthan and its largest city, Jaipur is at once the state’s commercial hub and one of its most fascinating cultural destinations. The pace of life here is fast, but take your time and in this somewhat frantic city you’ll find some of India’s most majestic palaces and atmospheric relics.

Rajasthan’s second largest city, historic Jodhpur may just be its most photogenic. Labyrinthine streets, bustling spice bazaars and flitting multihued saris make for an overwhelmingly vibrant sight at every turn.

Kanha Tiger Reserve

Kanha Tiger Reserve is the largest national park in Madhya Pradesh. Right in the heart of central India, this sprawling protected is regarded as one of the best parks in the country for its safari.

With the Western Ghats towering to the east and the Arabian Sea flowing out from the west, Kerala is one of India‘s most verdant and beautiful states. Crisscrossing this green lung are the backwaters that snake their way through towns and villages.

Equidistant between Agra and Varanasi in the state of Madhya Pradesh, is the small town of Khajuraho. Its remote location means it could easily slip under the radar of travellers keen to get to India’s more well-known cities, were it not for its remarkable collection of temples, famous for their erotic carvings.

Nestled in the northern state of Jammu and Kashmir is one of India’s most remote and sparsley populated areas. Ladakh, often referred to as Little Tibet, is a land of snowcapped mountains, vast barren plateaus and deep turquoise lakes.

Marari Beach

Marari – short for Mararikulum – is a serene palm-fringed beach village in the Alleppey district of Kerela, easily reached from Cochin and close to Vembanad Lake and the Keralan backwaters.

The capital of Maharashtra and India’s economic powerhouse, Mumbai is a huge metropolis home to over 22 million people. A melting pot of cultures, the affectionately named City of Dreams envelops all who come in a cloud of colour and sound, its energy undeniably contagious.

Nestled in the mighty Western Ghats and surrounded by sprawling tea plantations is the hill station of Munnar. A favoured summer retreat of the British who were lured by the cool mountain air, the surrounding mountains and valleys are one of India’s most picture-perfect destinations.

Panna National Park

In the Vindhyan mountain range in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, lies Panna National Park. The River Ken winds its way through a vast expanse of plateaus, gorges and thick forest giving life to a variety of animal and plant life.

Ranthambore National Park is perhaps the most famous place to spot wild tigers in India – and for good reason.

In the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, Rishikesh straddles the Ganges, linked by suspension bridges and flanked by the green foothills of the Himalayas.

Away from Rajasthan’s thronging historic cities, this vast state – India’s largest – is peppered with traditional villages, looked over by fortresses in the rugged mountains, and awash with the sands of the baking Thar desert.

The pedestrianised centre is wonderful to explore on foot, despite the topography, and there are a charming collection of bustling bazaars to be found off the winding main street, the Mall, which follows the spine of the ridge.

The little known region of Kumaon is one of two divisions in the northern hill state of Uttarakhand. Bordered by Tibet to the north and Nepal to the east, this is a land of magnificent snow-capped peaks, verdant forest and alpine meadows.

Certainly one of the most scenic cities in Rajasthan, and perhaps in all India, this unmatched setting along with Udaipur’s rich history and culture make it a must-see.

An ancient settlement on the banks of the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, Varanasi is India’s spiritual capital and important among numerous faiths.

This morning’s specially-arranged cultural excursion promises evocative moments as you experience this city of 18 million people coming to life for the day.

There is no other place like this in the world and this morning’s visit offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look into the people and stories of this sprawling metropolis. Next you’ll visit Dharavi, a densely populated district in the heart of Mumbai. With more than 1 million people living here, Dharavi has been called “Asia’s largest slum”. Although there is indeed evidence of crushing poverty, Dharavi is in fact a hive of entrepreneurship where local businesses, many of them 1-room operations, transact an estimated $1 billion annually. With our native-born guide leading the way, your time here promises to be an enlightening, powerful, eye-opening and inspiring experience of the human spirit. End your sightseeing with a privately guided tour of Mani Bhavan. Set in the modest 2-story building that served as Mahatma Gandhi’s residence and headquarters from 1917 to 1934, this small museum offers unique insights into his life and work.

Highly personalised tour.

We had a tour for 3 people at the 'comfort' level, and I can't imagine what additional service comes with the luxury level, because we were extremely comfortable. Himanshu and his team arranged beautiful hotels for us (including personalising according to our request of smaller hotels where we could get to know the staff), and everywhere we went we had local guides who really knew the monuments and had great pride in their city. We always had wonderful food (our favourite was when Himanshu took us on a street food tour of Jaipur), but were very well looked after and no one got sick throughout the entire t.... Read More

Leh - ladakh: the quaint monasteries & eternal bliss.

The entire 9 day tour was a wonderful experience. Traveling alone, it was agreed that I would have a driver but no guide however Himanshu met me at the airport and spent 5 days with me before returning to Jaipur. He did everything possible to make me feel special. The driver, Nunu was a very careful and considerate driver who added to the feeling of well-being. Accommodation and meals were excellent throughout. I would recommend Bout India to anyone traveling to India.

Micheal Symmons

Beautiful kerala tour.

My friend and I had an amazing time touring for 8 days in Kerala with BoutIndia’s Managing Director, Himanshu. He is a wonderful photographer and took most of the photos so that I could enjoy the sites, scenery and non-stop action. The trip was a good mix of fun activities and exploration with down time to sit on balconies and admire the green hills and waterways. Himanshu was quick to adapt the trip when we had suggestions, and he taught us a great deal about the country and culture. Our driver was excellent as well. I hope to travel to the Himalayas with Himanshu and his company in the near future.

We had been to India several times before and usually book our trips on our own, but for this trip using a destination expert was the way to go. In Rajasthan for example, we were not considering a visit to Ranthambhore National Park. But Himanshu and Charlie recommended it along with other stops and it turned out to be highlights of our trip. Spotting a tiger in the wild is rare, but Bout India arranged 3 safaris for us and we got lucky! The drivers they arranged for us were professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to travel with. The accommodations they a.... Read More

Great trip.

The experience we had with “bout.india” was outstanding! We have never been in India and initially relied completely on the travel suggestions from “bout.india”. The itinerary later changed a few times because we wanted to go to some different places as well as skip some of the suggested stops. The communications with Himanchu, one of the owners of the travel agency, were frequent and detailed. The company provided a very detailed itinerary including descriptions, pictures and advice. We always had a driver who picked us up in a recent Toyota SUV at the respective airports or train station, frequently waiting .... Read More

A family tour through rajastan and the golden triangle.

Very efficient and professional. In the beginning I had some doubts about the payments; we are living in the Netherlands, we were in contact with a travel company in India. Everything went very well. At the end of my holiday the local company paid several hotels for us which were only invoiced after the end of my trip. BOUT INDIA is very honest and reliable.

Arnold Theuws

We were a group of 5 friends. After many mails between Holland, Bali and India , Bout India tours made a nine days trip for us. A trip with many variations. Off course the highlights and also things like markets, nature and connections with Indian people. Bout India Tours was of great assistance for us. The guides ware adequate, our driver was safe and very kind.  We liked very much the flexibility of our trip.

Liesbeth De Jong

Most memorable trip to india and the himalayas.

This review is long overdue. Vinny and Himanchu listened keenly to understand what we were looking for and then worked tirelessly to create an itinerary that was perfect for my family and I. Indeed we remember it as one of the best vacations we've taken. Our visit from Delhi to Leh to Nubra Valley to Agra to Jaipur and back to Delhi was carefully orchestrated with all the comforts and amenities that allowed for a 1st class travel excursion. We had local guides knowledgeable with the local attractions along the way and Himachu accompanied us on all the domestic travel - both flights and train. It was a delig.... Read More

Incredible first trip to India!

My husband and I booked our first trip to India through Bout India Tours in March/April 2016 and had an amazing introduction to a country we had always dreamed of seeing. Rather than the typical tourist group experience with a busload of other people, we were accompanied during part of the journey with the wonderful founder of Bout India and spent the rest of it by ourselves with a private car and driver. Though we started out with a planned itinerary, they really customized our journey as they got to know us, resulting in an even more perfect trip. In our two weeks in India with Bout India Tours we really felt th.... Read More

Blown away by the amazing service from the bout india team.

We have just returned from an amazing private tour to Kerala and Mysore arranged by the team at Bout India Tours. After a wedding in Bangalore we wanted a fairly relaxed 9 days in the south but still get a good feel for the real India. Himanshu and our on the ground tour coordinator Chahat were fantastic. Communication was excellent and they were very responsive and flexible. We really felt we were in a safe pair of hands. The drivers and guides were friendly, professional and reliable. The guides were very knowledgable and happy to answer all our questions and again were very flexible as we requested some last minute cha.... Read More

Bout india tours are exceptional.

We booked a custom 28 day trip through out India with Bout India. It was a wonderful trip! Great guides and drivers, wonderful hotels and restaurants! We were met at each airport by our guide and driven door to door to our destinations and hotels. We focused on UNESCO world heritage sites. One of our guides told us that we have seen more Hindu Temples than 99% of Hindu’s. I. Would strongly recommend Bout India especially if you want a custom trip organized to meet your needs.

Harold Schmitz

Fantastic experience of northern india & goa.

Bout India gave us the most memorable and amazing holiday. The programme that was put together was diverse and fully comprehensive. Each and every city we visited offered something unique and exciting. We were so well cared for throughout our travels and we can't thank Bout India representatives enough for their care and little touches that added so much to this amazing holiday. Our travels over 16 days encompassed stays in Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore, Jaipur, Jodphur, Udaipur and Goa. Our driver Shankar - was always on time, and had fresh bottled water available daily.

Amazing india tour - golden triangle & ranthambore.

Our first time with a tour service, and it did not disappoint. Wonderful driver, hotels, guides and tours. Amrish took us right to our door and our guide took us to the front of the line at each site. Learned amazing facts from our guides-Rao, Sandy, and Carney.

Bridget Donovan

The best india trip.

This is my 2nd trip to India with Bout India within 12 months, which should prove that they are the most trustworthy and efficient travel agent if you ever want to explore the amazing country, India. What I love about Bout India is not only their professionalism but also their hospitality spirit and warm welcome to the country. ALL staff members are friendly and easy to communicate from the planning and the departure to your home country. They accommodated my 13 year old daughter and she is already talking about her next visit to India near future. Be open and experience something extraordinary!

Atsuko Joseph

An amazing golden triangle private tour.

There are really no words that adequately describe our tour in India. From the moment we were met at the airport with necklaces of flowers, a comfortable and spacious van, and our most humble and gracious driver and chauffeur, Taj, we were treated like royalty. We learned so much from our guides and had so many incredible experiences it will take a while to come down off our cloud. Thank you to Pinki Rai who set up our trip. She was so patient as I changed my mind on hotels many times. And speaking of hotels--WOW, they were all amazing and luxurious. Don't miss the Claridges in Dehli or the Samode Haveli in Jaipur 2 of our f.... Read More

Incredible and mesmerising india trip.

INCREDIBLE INDIA !!! We booked our Vacation without knowing anything about BOUT INDIA TOURS....what a stroke of luck. We were treated like royalty from start to finish. Met at Hotel lobby each morning by driver and guide, always 15 mins early as were we, eager to start our daily tours of the monuments as they called them. We described them as temples, forts, palaces etc. After being dropped off at each monument, our driver was waiting for us outside to whisk us away to our next tour. We had very comfortable vehicles, all very clean, great drivers who never got angry with the bustling heavy traffic. The rides to and from our hotel and .... Read More

Fantastic tour of india.

Unbelievable experience. Bout India delivered above and beyond. All the hotels, guides, and drivers were amazing. They were all so helpful and friendly. Geet checked in with me everyday to make sure everything was ok and to detail what I needed to know for the next day. I especially appreciate the change made on the last day to accommodate my last minute flight cancellation. Nothing was too much trouble. Booking online can be a bit hit and miss but Bout India Tours can be relied on no question. Fantastic

Golden triangle and kerala - a life changing experience.

We booked our tour around Rajasthan, Golden Triangle and Kerala with Bout India. The agency took excellent care of us. Everything was organised so well and we felt in very safe hands. In each destination our tour guides and drivers were friendly, experienced and extremely knowledgeable, and on the whole the hotels were of a very good standard and quality. The agency organised lots of amazing activities for us to do such as visiting palaces, forts, temples, cultural shows, jungle treks, jeep safaris, tea plantation visits and backwater cruising. The staff at Bout India are very helpful and were always in contact. We knew we could get assi.... Read More

Wonderful experience of a lifetime.

Our journey to the Golden Triangle was nothing short of magical, thanks to Bout India whom we connected with through Travel Local. Bout India orchestrated a romantic odyssey for us that exceeded all expectations. Himanshu, the visionary behind our journey, not only curated a flawless itinerary but added a touch of romance with a welcome bouquet, setting the tone for a truly special experience. His attentiveness to our needs, always just a call away, added a personalized touch that made the trip exceptional. Geetanshi, the ever-efficient staff member, seamlessly coordinated every detail, ensuring our couple's getaway was stress-free and del.... Read More

Northern india - trip of a lifetime.

Bout India Tours far exceeded my highest expectations during our 14-day tour of Northern India, including Amritsar, Varanasi, New Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. From start to finish, Akansha and Geetanshi made planning and executing this trip a joy. Our guides in each location were friendly and knowledgeable - truly top-notch service. "Roop" in Amritsar stood out among all of the truly outstanding guides. Each guide really put their own unique spin on things and kept us going at a reasonable pace with information tailored to our particular interests. The 5-star hotels in each city were beautiful and relaxing - we particularly enjoyed the Trident.... Read More

26-day amazing tour organized by bout india.

Had an amazing 26 day tour organised by Kunal at Bout India. We threaded a fantastic trip across India around 3 of the World Cup cricket matches. Highlights: Mumbai city and Elephanta Caves - great guides helped us to put modern India into perspective - with religion, Moguls, Gandhi and partition in the mix. Ahmedabad - added to our Gandhi knowledge and took a scary tuk tuk ride. Shimla and Dharamshala - fulfilled a long term dream to go to the Dharamshala cricket ground in the Himalayan foothills. And managed to get up and down the Triund Trek. Amritsar - amazing Golden Temple, our guide helped us to join in rolling some chapatis to feed the needy at La.... Read More

An extraordinarily amazing travel experience with BoutIndia

Thank you BoutIndia.com for an extraordinarily amazing travel experience! We took three tours: i) Best of Central India that includes Mumbai and Goa, ii) Golden Triangle and Rajsthan and iii) Southern Splendors. This Southern Splendors itinerary covers two of the best travel destinations of India - Tamil Nadu & Kerala. Our guide for this tour was Miss Shanthi. Shanthi was not only knowledgeable about history and culture but I could easily call her an expert on Hindu culture, temples, heritage and monuments of India. No wonder Tamil Nadu is a cradle of Hinduism and it would be innate to say that the state can boast to be a cradle of temples.... Read More

Wow! This was a trip of a lifetime. We were travelling to India for a wedding, and having not visited India before we were a bit apprehensive. We so shouldnt have been.

We visited Kashmir & Ladakh from 5-16 June 2024 and had a magical time! This would not have been possible without the team at Bout India working tirelessly to curate the perfect itinerary for me and my 2 travel partners.

He checked in constantly to see if we had any queries. Every question we had was answered with clarity and transparency - nothing was missed out. The speed of response from Mr Himanshu never faltered throughout our correspondence. He took the time to unde.... Read More

Private and Luxury India Tours

Any tour to India is sure to be an adventure. That is inherent in the nature of this land, which is at once mind-boggling and inspiring, imperfect and incredible.

From north to south, India’s geography is captivating. At hill stations in  Himachal Pradesh  wake up to views of the snow-capped peaks of the mighty  Himalayas . The peninsula of India has a 4,600-mile-long coastline with a diverse range of sites:  Goa ’s sandy beaches, the mangroves of the  Sundarbans , historic seaside temples at  Mamallapuram . And there’s  Kanyakumari , the southernmost tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, and Bay of Bengal meet.

You may have heard the cliché that India is sheer chaos, and perhaps it is. But there is a method to its madness. Leave the uncovering of that pattern to Enchanting Travels’ experts, experienced in organizing private tours to India. From start to finish, all you need to do is trust, keep your mind open to having a blast, and drinking lots of chai.

Whichever direction you travel, India’s history, seen through its magnificent monuments, will leave you humbled and awestruck. In the southern state of  Tamil Nadu  witness religiosity and ritual at  Madurai ’s  Meenakshi Temple . Go west where  Rajasthan ’s Mehrangarh Fort, towering over the blue city of  Jodhpur , is a both palace and symbol of a medieval military tradition. In northern India the glory days of the  Mughal Empire  come alive in the monuments of places like  Fatehpur Sikri  and  Delhi . Plan at least two weeks to capture some of the marvels of this remarkable country, even if right now all you really want to do is to visit the  Taj Mahal .

Our experts can advise you on the  best time to visit India , what to see or do based on your interests, and create a personalized travel experience for you. Get in touch with us for your customized, obligation-free itinerary.

I was born and raised in India and the travel bug bit me quite early on in my life when I went on a backpacking trip. I am passionate about showing India to the world as I believe that the culture, landscape and history that one can experience in India is unparalleled. India is like a mini Europe where if you travel a few hundred miles in any direction, you reach a new region where the culture, language, and rituals are different. It’s truly a diverse country like no other.

The best way to get around India is through a mix of  public and private transportation services . In a country as vast as this, taking domestic flights can significantly reduce your travel time. India also has a wide  network of roads  and since many destinations are not accessible by flight, taking a  private car  to explore smaller cities and towns at your own pace is a good idea. You can also take short and scenic rail journeys between destinations such as Delhi and Agra, which are connected by express trains. During your luxury India tour with us, we provide you with a  private chauffeured car  which is regularly tested by our team for safety and comfort. With your car at your disposal, you can enjoy your excursions at each destination at your own pace, and embark on short inter-city journeys as well.

India is a treasure trove of impressive destinations, from the North to the sultry South. Some of the best destinations in India include: 1.  North India  – Delhi, the capital city, boasts rich culture, historic Mughal and colonial architecture, and a fascinating blend of the old and the new. In Agra, discover the magic of white marble at the iconic Taj Mahal and the sandstone city of Fatehpur Sikri. Rajasthan in North India, with the Rajput cities of Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and others, offers ornate palaces, historic havelis and rich cultural heritage. 2.  Central India  – Spiritual Varanasi is one of the oldest cities in the world, drawing millions of pilgrims to the shores of the Ganges river every year. In Central India’s national parks, come face to face with tigers, leopards, elephants and a bevy of other animals. Explore Mumbai on the west coast, home of Bollywood films. 3 .  South India  – Head to Kerala’s tranquil backwaters or visit cultural Cochin. See Munnar’s verdant tea gardens or coffee plantations in Coorg, famously called the ‘Scotland of India’. Escape to Goa, where life slows down amid tranquil fishing villages, colorful Portuguese-era settlements and gorgeous, golden beaches. Visit the stunning Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, or Hampi’s historic boulder-strewn ruins.  4. The Himalayas  – Leh and Ladakh, surrounded by the towering Himalayas and tranquil monasteries, are enchanting destinations for glamping tours. Not just these, a vast array of other destinations and experiences also await you in India. Based on what you wish to see and do, our travel consultants can help you select the right itinerary, routing and activities to make the most of your time in India.

Here are some of the  top experiences  on luxury India tours. 1. Discover the  Taj Mahal  at sunrise with a personal guide for crowd-free magical views.  2.

What our guests are saying?

I had no idea what to expect on my first trip to India along with four lady friends. It was one of the most enjoyable trips I have ever taken. Kishan drove us around Rajasthan, provided us with the information and knowledge we needed as we visited and learned about the culture and history of India. He assisted with money exchange, found us a pharmacy when needed, provided water, bananas and snacks for our travels, he assisted with the check in to our hotels and made sure we were all comfortable, safe and happy. We have such great photos and memories and are already planning our next adventure in India

David Young

We had a fabulous time on our India trip arranged by Pankaj. Every imaginable detail was covered and the service exceeded our expectations. He really listened to our interests and concerns and he truly instilled confidence that we will have an amazing experience, and he was right! Once we arrived in India, everything was incredible synchronized and proactive. We never ever had to wait or wonder about anything. The driver was one of the best as were the 5 star hotels. We did not miss a thing!

It is not difficult to find luxury experiences in India. With a rich history of royalty that enjoyed grandeur and opulence, India is no stranger to providing the ultimate luxury experiences. From destination spas to luxury train rides, here are the top 8 luxury experiences in India. 

Luxury train ride:

India’s extremely crowded trains may feel scary, but India is also home to some of the most luxurious trains in the world. If you are looking for a luxury experience in India, you must travel by a luxury train.

The Maharajas’ Express has been voted “The World’s Leading Luxury Train” in the World Travel Awards seven times in a row. A ride in this train is one of the most exclusive experiences. With 14 guest carriages with deluxe rooms and presidential suites accommodating over 80 passengers, two multi-cuisine restaurants, and two bars, Maharajas’ Express operates between October and April. The train has five different routes through scenic cities and villages of India.

India’s first luxury train, the Palace on Wheels, has 14 salons named after the princely states of India. They can accommodate up to 88 guests. The train has two restaurants serving delectable Rajasthani cuisines. Palace on Wheels operates between September and April and travels through 7 cities.

Another luxury train is The Deccan Odyssey, which includes coaches for fine dining, spa, massage, and other facilities. It takes you through the heritage places in Maharashtra.

Luxury Adventure Activities:

If you want to add a hint of adventure to your luxury experiences, you should definitely take a hot air balloon ride in Rajasthan during the Pushkar Camel Fair or over the city of Jaipur. The hot air balloon ride, operated by Sky Waltz, takes you on an hour-long journey across different areas of Rajasthan from as high as 12,000 feet off the ground. The balloon accommodates 4 to 8 people in a single ride, one at sunrise and one at sunset.

Water babies can try scuba diving in Lakshadweep islands in the Arabian Sea and Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Explore the exotic marine life underwater. The best time for scuba diving in Andamans is from January to May.

You can rent a private yacht in Goa for a luxurious experience. You can enjoy the yacht cruise with other water sports such as jet skiing, snorkelling, diving, and kayaking.

You can also go for luxury camping in Rishikesh and enjoy white water rafting on the Ganges river.

Luxury Wellness Experience:

Wellness centres and spas are well and good, but have you heard of a floating spa in the middle of the lake? At Taj Lake Palace, the floating hotel in Lake Pichola, the Jiva Spa Boat offers a unique experience. It takes you on a special boat where you are provided with the ultimate relaxation with therapeutic massages and beauty treatments, all while enjoying the pristine blue water around.

The award-winning Ananda in the Himalayas is India’s first destination spa. Set in Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world, Ananda overlooks green hills and valleys. Ayurveda, Yoga, and Vedanta are combined to give you an immersive and luxurious yoga experience.

Luxury Holiday in the Wilderness:

India is home to over 80 national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, and a wildlife safari is an experience you should definitely have in India.

Aman-i-Khas, near Ranthambore National Park, is surrounded by Aravalli Hills. The camp has luxury tents with all the modern amenities along with the best views of many wildlife species.

Sujan Sher Bagh is another wildlife camp that offers all the luxuries as you go on wildlife safaris to spot the Royal Bengal tiger, leopards, sloth bears, and other animals.

Some of the other luxury wilderness camps around India include Taj Banjaar Tola Camp,  The Serai Desert Camp, and Oberoi Vanyavilas.

Private Wine Tasting at India’s Wine Country:

Known as India’s Napa Valley, Nashik in Western India is known for its high quality wines. With many gorgeous vineyards in the region, you should experience luxury wine tasting in Nashik.

Start with a tour of the lush green vineyards and the process of grape plucking and end with a personal wine tasting session and a dinner. The best time to visit is in February, during the grape picking season. Sula Vineyard is one of the most famous vineyards in the country.

Stay at a luxury hotel:

India is one of the best countries when it comes to hospitality. And for the ultimate luxury experience, you have to stay at one of India’s many, many luxury hotels. The Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai, Oberoi Udaivilas in Udaipur, The Leela in Goa, or the Raj Niwas Palace in Jaipur, to name a few, radiate opulence and grandeur fit for royalty.

You can experience the peak of luxury with a private dinner at Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra, as you dine under the stars with a view of the Taj Mahal, one of the wonders of the world!

Luxury cruise:

A luxury cruise across the backwaters, rivers, and oceans of India is an experience you shouldn’t miss. With delectable cuisines, top-notch facilities and entertainment, India has many options for a relaxing cruise vacation. While the Sunderbans Luxury Cruise takes you through one of the biggest mangrove reserves in the world in West Bengal, the Oberoi M.V Vrinda sails through the backwaters of Kerala. The Empress by Cordelia Cruises and MV Ganga Vilas are two other luxury cruises that take you across states in India.

Luxury houseboat:

If staying in a regular hotel is too mainstream for you, why not live on a houseboat?

Kashmir, called Paradise on Earth, is home to the gorgeous Dal Lake, which has a plethora of luxury houseboats for the perfect relaxing vacation. With 5-star amenities, from local cuisines to access to a shikara at all times, you can consider yourself royalty in the true sense.

Another place where you can live like royalty on luxury houseboats is the tranquil backwaters of Kerala. Enjoy gourmet dishes or get a spa treatment while lazing on the beautiful backwaters.

With so many luxury experiences in India, you will be spoilt for choice. Which one do you want to experience first? Let us know and we will plan the perfect trip for you!

The Luxury Travel Edit: Four Seasons Explorer Palau with Armando Kraenzlin

The Luxury Travel Edit podcast is where leaders of the travel industry share insights about their world-class brands and companies. Hosted by the luxury-travel consultant and journalist John O’Ceallaigh, the series covers all things relating to luxury travel, from hotels to aviation to superyachts.

In this second episode of the podcast's first series, John speaks to Armando Kraenzlin, Four Seasons Regional Vice President & General Manager Four Seasons Resort Maldives. Kraenzlin is now also overseeing the launch of the Four Seasons Explorer Palau expedition ship, which recently launched in this isolated island nation - the fourth-smallest sovereign state in the world. Four Seasons is the first international hospitality brand to establish a presence in this 'untapped' country - a huge opportunity for the brand but also a significant challenge.

In this episode, Armando Kraenzlin speaks about what it takes to launch in a destination that's completely unfamiliar to luxury travelers, and why brands might want to even do that in the first place. As one of the first journalists to experience Four Seasons Explorer Palau, John O'Ceallaigh also discusses his own reflections on what the experience is like in practice. And it turns out that Four Seasons has further plans to open in other unexpected destinations in the future...
