The Taj Mahal in India- one of the enduring icons of
romance- has attracted many tourists- honeymooners
and cultural tourists alike.
A luxury honeymoon to India could include a stay in
the suite of the Oberoi Amarvilas, with a view of
the Taj Mahal. And with such a stellar base, another
luxury in the form of an early morning trip to the
Taj Mahal (before the crowds come in) can be
arranged. Rajasthan, steeped in history and boasting
a palatial landscape also beckons, with more
adventurous couples taking in the Himalayas, now
figuring on the luxury tourist' destination with the
opening of intimate, luxury lodges.
Exotic destination weddings is another feature of
India- from elaborate dinners in palace conversions
to 'do's on private islands. A ceremonial elephant
polo match can be had in the lawn of a private home
during polo season. India has a long history in
luxury hospitality- a throwback to the Maharaja's
days of lavish entertainment and anyone who's ever
been a guest of an Indian royal is sure to talk of
the luxury and pomp with which the entertainment
were conducted for years to come.
