Best Luxury Hotels in India
Located in South Asia, India stretches from snow-capped mountains to palm-fringed beaches, inspiring all the senses. For those wanting an immersive cultural experience, watch life meet death on the banks of the Ganga River as locals perform their evening rituals in Varanasi or head north and witness the jewel of Islamic art by visiting the Taj Mahal, a display of pride and tradition. The Himalayas provide a refreshing break from the bustle of the Indian streets where you are invited to practise yoga in Rishikesh, visit Tibetan monasteries in Dharamshala, or trek through the stunning landscapes of Ladakh. However, if it is sun and sand you’re craving, Goa’s laid-back beaches and vibrant nightlife will not disappoint.
Whether it be the grand fortresses, picturesque landscapes or unique gastronomy that promote this adventure, India’s culture and vibrant atmosphere are waiting to welcome you.
