Top Experiences
From sunrise over the Taj Mahal to ancient river rituals, desert forts, and Himalayan trails, India is many worlds in one.
Discover forts, palaces, and desert cities
Follow into the footsteps of royalty
Explore the regal heart of Rajasthan, where honey-hued forts crown hilltops and ornate palaces overlook shimmering lakes. Walk Jaipur’s pink streets, discover Jodhpur’s blue houses beneath Mehrangarh Fort, and watch sunset from Jaisalmer’s golden ramparts. Sleep in restored havelis, browse intricate textiles and jewellery in local bazaars, and travel between cities by heritage train or private driver.
Witness sacred rituals along the Ganges
Step into timeless traditions
In Varanasi, rise before dawn to watch pilgrims gather along the ghats as the river glows with first light. Drift past stone steps by boat as chants echo across the water and incense drifts skyward. Observe evening aarti ceremonies where fire, song, and devotion create an unforgettable spectacle of faith. Visit ancient temples, narrow alleyways, and silk workshops tucked behind the riverfront.
Explore tea hills, backwaters, and coastal calm
From plantations to sunlit shores
Head south to Kerala for a slower rhythm. Wander emerald tea plantations in Munnar, cruise the backwaters on a private houseboat past palm-fringed villages, and explore colonial streets in Fort Kochi. Ayurvedic spas, spice gardens, and quiet coastal paths offer restoration between explorations. Watch fishermen cast Chinese nets at sunset and sample regional dishes flavoured with coconut and cardamom.
Journey into the foothills of the Himalayas
From tranquil villages to snow-topped mountains
See prayer flags flutter above quiet valleys and snow-capped peaks dominate the horizon. Walk scenic trails between remote villages, visit cliffside monasteries, and pause for tea with local families. Whether in Ladakh, Sikkim, or Uttarakhand, the mountains offer space, stillness, and perspective. Crisp air, pine forests, and dramatic views create a deeply reflective experience far removed from India’s bustling plains, revealing another dimension to this vast and varied country.
Tandoor trailblazer
Taste tradition in every bite
In New Delhi’s ITC Maurya, Bukhara delivers timeless North-West Frontier feasts with dal Bukhara slow-simmered for 48 hours, smoky kebabs and legendary Sikandari raan that draw presidents and celebrities alike. Rustic clay ovens, checked tablecloths and non-stop energy make it a 50-year institution where every skewer tells a story of perfected tradition.
Coastal reinvention
Discover the flavours of the region
Amid Mumbai’s buzzing Lower Parel, Masque crafts hyper-seasonal tasting menus from India’s farms and coasts – think koji-cured hamachi, fermented mango naan and sunchoke dosa that land Masque on Asia’s 50 Best. The chef’s counter intimacy and relentless ingredient obsession turn dinner into a forward-thinking love letter to the subcontinent.
Mughlai opulence
Regal flavours in stunning surroundings
Overlooking Agra’s Taj Mahal at The Oberoi Amarvilas, Esphahan weaves royal Mughlai decadence through murgh Musallam, delicate saffron pilafs and keema pav showered in gold leaf. Crystal chandeliers, marble arches and marble floors create a setting as majestic as the monument outside, perfect for once-in-a-lifetime romance.
Southern alchemy
A true taste of South India
Deep in Chennai’s ITC Grand Chola, Avartana reimagines Tamil Nadu’s temple cuisine with podi idli spheres, rasam espuma and millet dosas that earned global acclaim. Ornate Chettinad woodwork frames intricate tasting menus where ancient spice blends meet modernist sleight-of-hand, honouring South India’s deepest culinary roots.
Hyderabadi heritage
History at its most delicious
At Hyderabad’s Taj Falaknuma Palace, Adaa resurrects Nizam-era grandeur through haleem pounded tableside, biryanis layered with saffron and jewel-like kormas served beneath Venetian chandeliers. The marble halls and turbaned butlers transport you to 18th-century Deccan royalty for an evening of sumptuous, spice-drenched heritage.
The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra
Palatial luxury beside the Taj
Every room and public space at The Oberoi Amarvilas frames uninterrupted views of the Taj Mahal, just 600m away, through Mughal-inspired arches, fountains and reflection pools. Suites and villas blend marble floors, silk furnishings and private terraces into palatial romance, with 24-hour butler service and golf-cart transfers to the monument’s gates. Dine on royal kebabs at Esphahan or unwind with spa rituals overlooking the minarets – it’s the effortless choice for making the Taj Mahal your personal backdrop
Fragrant Nature Foundation, Kochi
Barefoot luxury in Kerala backwaters
Tucked into Kochi’s spice-scented backwaters, Fragrant Nature Foundation offers eight handcrafted villas amid 12 acres of organic permaculture gardens and lotus ponds. Breezy thatched roofs, plunge pools and open-air showers let the tropical air flow freely, while Ayurvedic healers, yoga pavilions and farm-to-table Keralan feasts ground every stay in authentic wellness. Kayak the waterways at dawn or lose hours in hammocks – it’s barefoot luxury for soul-searchers drawn to Kerala’s verdant heart.
Le Meridien New Delhi
Contemporary stay in central Delhi
Dominating central Delhi’s skyline near Connaught Place, Le Meridien New Delhi delivers polished urbanity through spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, a glass-edged infinity pool and seven dining venues from French bakery to live BBQ. The wellness centre, executive lounges and easy metro access make it a powerhouse base for business or bleisure, blending global chain efficiency with Delhi’s restless energy. Contemporary art-lined corridors and Central Park views keep the vibe sharp yet serene.
The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur
Maharaja style near Jaipur
On Jaipur’s outskirts amid 32 acres of walled gardens, The Oberoi Rajvilas resurrects Rajput palace life with fort-like sandstone walls, mirrored courtyards and frescoed tents equipped with clawfoot tubs and starlit plunge pools. Vintage car rides, elephant blessings and open-air dinners beside reflection pools evoke Maharaja-era splendour, while the spa’s 19th-century haveli delivers some of India’s deepest massages. It’s pink-city pomp perfected for couples craving royal immersion.
Leela Palace Udaipur
Cinematic palace above Lake Pichola
Crowning a 10-acre peninsula in Lake Pichola, Leela Palace Udaipur fuses Venetian Gothic domes with Mewari marble palaces, offering lake-view rooms where City Palace glimmers across the water. Private boat rides, floating breakfasts and Sheesh Mahal mosaic chambers create fairy-tale drama, while nine restaurants span Gujarati thalis to French-Japanese fusion. Turbaned staff, hilltop spa and City Palace fireworks views make it Udaipur’s most cinematic address.
