India is perhaps best known for its spectacular holy sites and royal forts, but its extensive geography also presents numerous breathtaking natural wonders, from towering peaks to vast plains. Our stylish luxury guided tours in India enable you to appreciate these gems with the added benefit of top-class hotels in which to relax and unwind.

One of the most iconic highlights of premium scenic holidays in India is a sunrise over the Taj Mahal, where the play of soft dawn light on the white-gold dome creates a magical effect. For many India trips, this is an essential part of the itinerary. Another essential part of a northern India tour is an excursion into the Thar Desert, whether by jeep or camel cart, to view the tiny villages, dunes and wildlife and to watch the sky turn a blaze of deep orange at sunset.

To the west, Kumbhalgarh Fort offers a prime place from which to survey the Aravalli Hills, while treks in the nearby Kumbhalgarh Sanctuary immerse you in lush forest that hosts a huge diversity of wildlife. In the north-east, heading up to the hill station of Shimla, perhaps on the famous Toy Train, provides spectacular views over dense Himalayan forests.

Some premium holidays in India sometimes take you over the border to Sri Lanka, where the eye is greeted by spice gardens and tea plantations, while the short hike up to Little Adam’s Peak is an excursion highlight that rewards you with mesmerising panoramic views.

We have a variety of luxury holidays worldwide, allowing you to enjoy the world’s best scenery in style.
