We know a thing or two about bespoke holidays – we’ve been creating them since 1989. Take a trip through the India holidays that we love today.

Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Shakti 360 Leti £££££

  • India

Shakti 360 Leti is found in a little known and compellingly beautiful corner of India. It is found high in the Himalayas at over 7000 ft, about one hour’s walk from the nearest road. There are just four stone cottages designed by a local architect and the main lodge is eco-friendly with contemporary touches. Indoors, there’s gourmet cooking, fine wine and a cosy fireplace, as well as beds adorned with pashmina blankets and fluffy duvets. Outdoors, there are mountain walks, treks, and camping experiences. Laze in planter’s chairs and enjoy the views and sunshine or maybe pack fishing gear and a picnic lunch and hike down to the river.

Itmenaan Lodge £££££

  • India

Itmenaan lodge offers panoramic views of the Himalayas and is the perfect place to unwind, away from the hustle and bustle of urban India. Located in its own private estate, the lodge is surrounded by virgin pine, oak and rhododendron trees and terraced fields laden with seasonal fruits. Take a walk to the small natural spring or find a quiet spot and witness the countless stars that light the night sky.

Ananda Spa £££££

  • India
  • Wellness and Spa

Ananda Spa Resort is a luxury destination spa resort in the Himalayan foothills in Northern India, near Rishikesh. This award-winning spa is probably the most luxurious place in India to go to for treatments and therapies. The therapy rooms face the holy River Ganges and the Himalayas.
