INDIA

A POWERFULLY EXOTIC LANDSCAPE OF THRILLING CITIES AND NATURAL LANDSCAPES

Peppered with vibrant colour, rich culture and sublime architecture… a luxury holiday in India is a truly unforgettable experience.

India moves with a natural sense of ebb and flow. Dizzying and disorganised city streets are countered in the peaceful backwaters and lush valleys of the Himalayan mountains. In this vast, diverse and colourful land, it feels as though any kind of experience is possible.

Capture a blissful moment before the heat of the day to watch the sunrise behind the Taj Mahal, visit the pink city of Jaipur, amble under the scalloped arches of Agra Fort or marvel at Amritsar’s Golden Temple. Delve into the street markets of Delhi and Mumbai, where vivid bowls of intoxicating spice are reflected in exquisite textiles of hot pink, canary yellow and royal blue. Or drift blissfully on a houseboat through the palm-fringed canals and backwaters of Kerala, before booking on a yoga retreat. Embark on a safari trip through Ranthambore National Park on the lookout for India’s big cats, or journey north to the blissful, bohemian beaches of Goa for miles of pristine white sand and sparkling waters.  

A holiday to India is a feast for the senses. It ignites the spirit and warms the heart. There are simply so many adventures, you will want to return time and time again.
