Travel to India and celebrate in vibrant colour

Travel to India in Decadent Luxury

A PARTY IN A PALACE OR A PRIVATE TENTED GETAWAY

For centuries, travel to India has enticed merchants, mercenaries and monks, these mystical lands filled with the promise of untold riches. This penchant for decadence has styled travel to India and its party scene – so light the torches, bring on the Bollywood dancers and shake your shoulders because India knows how to celebrate in style!

Whether you’re fabulous at fifty, revelling in retirement, or sweeping your partner off their feet for a surprise anniversary celebration, India will lavish you in garlands and glamour for your special day, either with just a few, or a few hundred of your favourite friends!

Journeying back in time, modern travellers can still experience the glories of days gone by. Elizabeth Hurley’s Jodhpur wedding wowed the world with painted elephants, dancers, fireworks and showers of flower petals, while the Royal Salute British Polo in Jaipur is the place to rub shoulders with the Indian elite. Forts and palaces provide glamorous locations for outrageous parties while pioneer-style tented camps complete with four poster beds, leather-bound trunks and personal butlers can be exclusively yours for a private get-together of your nearest and dearest. Luxury trains wend their way through timeless landscapes and remote hill stations lie high in the Himalayas – the perfect retreat for a romantic escape.

Whatever journey you choose, travel to India is a fitting way to celebrate any milestone!
