This is a journey that could only realistically be done by private jet, whisking you seamlessly from place to place and saving, quite literally, days of travel.
At every stage, doors will open to unimagined worlds. You’ll meet a remarkable array of people–artists, thinkers, gurus, chefs, historians, conservationists–who will illuminate India’s spirituality and history for you, bring rarely witnessed traditions to life, and weave the disparate relationships of an ecosystem into a captivating whole.
You’ll stay in elegant accommodation that befits such a journey including a royal palace, a regal lakeside retreat and a charming colonial-era jungle lodge. Dine in extraordinary settings: in front of the Taj Mahal; or seated on rugs and cushions beneath the desert stars, all while being serenaded by musicians and dancers. Enjoy field breakfasts while out on safari, and sip champagne as you watch the sun descend over the Blue City.
This private jet holiday will challenge your preconceptions and open your mind to India’s contrasts—its ancient traditions and vibrant modernity, its wild landscapes and its regal elegance.
"At every turn, you’ll gain privileged and intimate glimpses into India’s dazzling complexity from those who know it best."
