Luxury Hotels India | Heritage
and Boutique Hotels Rajasthan
From the lush Oberoi
Hotels fusing opulent Mughal-style
architecture with stella service to the
exquisite Aman Resorts or the pedigreed Taj
Hotels throughout India to the new Indian
safari lodges, India offers a wide range of
luxury hotels.
Modern spa retreats in the
Himalayas that set the benchmark for spa
hotels to ascetic ayurvedic retreats in
Kerala, the remote retreats in the Himalayas
that can be reached only after an hour long
walk (and an overnight train transfer. and a
few hours' drive. or, alternatively, let us
make it easier for you by arranging a
private charter) to the fort palaces of
Maharajas of Rajasthan. Increasingly Central
India is seeing a considerable number of
new, heritage boutique hotels, allowing the
seasoned India hand to explore more parts of
India.
And then there's the
eco-resort that filters colour and music
through its drinking water or the fort
palace with a sacred meditation spot.
Welcome to India.

This itinerary, designed to coincide with the Pushkar Camel Festival (but works
equally well during other times of the year), combines the highlights of India's
Golden Triangle with a horse trek through the remote villages of Rajasthan,
visiting the famously ornate Jain temples and picnics recalling the glamour of a
bygone era, whilst staying in a dazzling assortment of accommodation choices-
the former hunting lodge of a Maharani, a resplendent Art Deco palace or former
Maharaja's residences.
Breakfast overlooking
the Taj, witnessing an
aarti in Varanasi, tiger
safaris in Bandhavgarh,
wandering through the
erotic temples of
Khajuraho, before ending
the trip in Lucknow.
Contact us for tours
through Lutyen's
colonial Delhi or the
old Delhi of Mirza
Ghalib. Or end the
journey with a luxury
spa retreat in the
Himalayas.
On a luxury cruise through the Andaman Islands, recently propelled into the
mainstream consciousness, post-tsunami, through video footage of tribes shooting
at rescue boats with bows and arrows. Whilst this indirectly introduces the
debate on the ethics of tourism into the area, this cruise itinerary combines
visits to some of the islands in an area associated with pristine beaches,
gin-clear waters and lush inland forests- the epitomy of the modern day
paradise, with excellent diving opportunities. The areas visited (or rather, not
visited) are in line with efforts to protect the lifestyles of the indigenous
people of the area.
