Luxury Holidays to India: Palaces & the Golden Triangle

India does luxury like nowhere else — because here, luxury comes with history. Sleeping in a maharaja's palace, arriving at the Taj Mahal before the crowds, travelling by private car the whole way: this is the Golden Triangle at its most magnificent.

“The secret to India for our travellers is pace — private cars, the right hotels, a sunrise at the Taj before the crowds, and proper rest days woven in. Done this way, India is not exhausting at all; it is one of the most rewarding journeys of a lifetime.”

All Holidays to Asia specialists complete our in-depth destination training programme — covering culture, accessibility, pacing, hotels and seasonal conditions — before advising a single guest. Ongoing assessment ensures expertise stays current.

Palace hotels with genuine character

We choose heritage palaces and former royal residences over generic chains — the Taj Lake Palace floating on Lake Pichola, restored havelis in Jaipur, gardens and courtyards that have welcomed guests for centuries. These are hotels that are destinations in themselves.

The Golden Triangle, privately and unhurried

A sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal before the crowds, a private car between Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, the finest guides and rest days built in — India done this way is not tiring at all. It is, as many guests tell us, the most rewarding journey of their lives.
