Luxury India Tours made for you
Start planningExperience the kaleidoscope of India on a luxury private tour designed just for you
A nation of vivid contrasts and engaging culture
India is a place where landscapes and cultures can change in the blink of an eye. The snow-capped Himalayas form a fortress around Ladakh in the north, while in the south, lush Kerala’s palm-lined beaches are lapped by tropical waters. One of the world’s oldest civilisations, its culture is shaped by thousands of years and life is lived out in hundreds of local dialects. Luxury travel in India embraces both the chaos and the quiet that it is equally known for, balancing a bespoke combination of nature, culture and history.
Meaning ‘Land of Kings’, the landscape of Rajasthan in the north is studded with magnificent forts and palaces. In the state capital, the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur, you can tour the magnificent Amber Fort with a private guide, or glimpse street scenes through one of the 953 windows in the Hawa Mahal palace. Complete your luxury tour of India by experiencing royal life for yourself in the former state palace turned luxury hotel, Taj Lake Palace, in Udaipur.
A spiritual hub that draws wellness seekers the world over, India presents many opportunities to connect with yourself and the world around you. Witness the moving spectacle of an Aarti ceremony on the banks of the River Ganges in Rishikesh, or meet with an Ayurvedic doctor to discover your inner Dosha and enjoy personalised massages. Head to Kumaon and Ladakh, where the mighty peaks of the Himalayas brush the heavens, and incredible hiking refreshes your mind with a new sense of size and scale.
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 SUJÁN JAWAI camp is the best place to catch a glimpse of beautiful and elusive leopards on a luxurious India safari tour. A whirlwind of colours, sounds and smells, India’s energy is undeniably contagious. Get in touch with our team of India travel experts to plan your own luxury India tour.
