Experience India like no other and be hosted by the Great Maharajahs; take a scenic flight to a Maharajah’s palace above the Himalayan mountain town of Rishikesh, to the birthplace of yoga and Ayurveda. Arrive in the royal city of Jaipur and travel by horse-drawn carriage to the gates of a city palace for a dramatic royal welcome, followed by an evening of celebrations and entertainment as privileged guests of the Maharajah.

Transfer to the shores of Lake Pichola in Udaipur in an open-top classic car before boarding your royal barge to the Lake Palace, then join the Maharajah for sunset drinks on the palace terrace. Gain exclusive access to the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort, towering above the old city of Jodhpur, with a renowned historian guide, then witness the whole city come alive with royal celebrations.

Enjoy a royal safari to track tigers in the Ranthambore National Park, accompanied by the foremost authority on Indian tigers. Take in the splendour of the Taj Mahal at sunset from a royal bathtub.

The fabric of Indian life is woven with colour, history, and religion. With myriad cultures and customs across a billion people, there’s no shortage of experiences to be had. From rich wildlife and sacrosanct sites, to swarming spice bazaars and crumbling fortresses, plunging ravines and misty mountains, you cannot simply skim the surface of India. Instead, plunge right in.
