A country of extraordinary depth, best experienced as a series of distinct journeys
India cannot sensibly be reduced to one itinerary. Rajasthan’s palaces and desert landscapes, the cities of Delhi and Mumbai, Kerala’s waterways, Himalayan regions and wildlife reserves all offer completely different experiences, connected by food, history and remarkable cultural richness.
Private guiding, carefully chosen hotels and realistic pacing are essential. Rather than collecting destinations, the best journeys build around a theme or region – architecture and history, wildlife, food, spiritual traditions, or a combination with enough time to absorb each place.
Where to explore in India
Our current India collection takes in Agra, Amritsar, Bandhavgarh National Park, Bangalore, Bharatpur and Keoladeo Ghana National Park, Calcutta, Chennai, Chettinad, Cochin, Darjeeling, Delhi, Devigarh, Goa, Hampi, Haridwar, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Jawai Lake, Jodhpur, Kerala, Ladakh, Lake Vembanad, Leh, Mararikulam, Mumbai, Nagarhole Nationak Park, Narlai, Neeleshwar, Nubra Valley, Ranthambhore National Park, Rishijesh, Rohet, Samode, Satpura National Park, Shekhawati Region, Shimla and Udaipur. Each area has been selected because it adds something distinct to a tailor-made journey, whether that is wildlife, landscape, culture, food, coast or simply the chance to slow the pace.
Rather than treating these as a checklist, we can help decide which regions belong together and how long to spend in each. The aim is a journey that feels coherent, with sensible transfers and enough time to enjoy the properties and experiences along the way.
Who India suits
India works particularly well for culture-led travellers, families, wildlife enthusiasts, food lovers and repeat visitors who want highly personalised, privately guided journeys. The detail can then be shaped around the people travelling – preferred pace, room or villa requirements, interests, celebrations and how much structure you want built into each day.
Planning your stay
Private Hideaway Escapes can arrange the complete journey, including handpicked accommodation, private transfers, internal flights where appropriate, guides and experiences. We can also combine India with another destination when the routing genuinely improves the trip rather than simply adding another stop.
