Luxury Vacations in India
VIEW JOURNEYS
A country with the tempo turned up, India can be fast, feverish and frantic, its megacities of Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai moving at maximum speed, markets heaving at dawn, vendors hawking their wares and commuters rushing on and off the railways. Known as the lifeline of the nation, India’s trains run into every nook and cranny, from steam trains trundling through the coolness of the Himalaya to the luxury Golden Chariot gliding through Goa, from the palaces of Jaipur and Udaipur to the iconic grandeur of the Taj Mahal, from the forts of Rajasthan to the temples and tiger reserves of Madhya Pradesh.
Steeped in the spiritual, India can also be slow and steady, a place to breathe at sunrise surrounded by the sanctity of mosques, temples, churches and synagogues, elders offering blessings of wet marigolds and sugar, meditation retreats bringing peace to restless minds. Rich in literature and language, Indians speak more than 19,000 dialects – always keen to chat, curious and querying, generous and hospitable, offering everything from food and advice to invitations to their weddings and homes. To travel in India is to pass through history, a land of warriors and wars, dynasties and empires, each shaping and shifting the landscape, architecture, culture and cuisine, culminating in a country always on its toes, always on the move, always filled with adventure.
