What are the Luxury Places in India? 

States like Rajasthan, Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Kerala and Karnataka are known for their luxurious experiences and accommodation options. Although, every place in India offers unique luxurious experiences to the tourists. But these stand out from the rest. 

India and Luxury - A Hidden Gem 

Luxury and India have a deep rooter history since the ancient times, when Mughals and Rajputs used to rule the country. Ever since their existence, India has been home to one of the most beautiful yet luxurious destinations in the world. From royal forts and havelis in Rajasthan and Agra to the natural luxuries of Kerala and Karnataka, India redefines luxury at all parameters.

What is Luxury in India?  

Many places relate luxury to premium hotels, exotic locations, world-class services and grand architectures, but the land of culture and tradition, India has its own definition when it comes to luxury. Hotels, Rooms and Amenities are one thing, but the travel experience and the convenience through which people explore a particular city. 

One of the most important yet underappreciated aspects of luxury is the feel and memory of the trip for the tourists. All the tangible components can only add value to a certain extent, but the feelings, memories and experiences stay for a longer period of time, offering a new meaning of luxury and opulence. 

How can a Trip Be Sustainable and Luxurious at the Same Time? 

Many times people confuse luxury with being carefree and unintentionally harm the ecosystem. A trip can be both luxurious and sustainable at the same time, by keeping in mind a few factors that can add up to the welfare and development of the natural environment. Here are the steps that can assure luxury and sustainability at the same time: 

  • Researching everything about the place or destination you are travelling to, for a better and precise approach during exploration and city tours. 
  • Using eco-friendly sources of transportation such as low carbon emitting aeroplanes, electric vehicles, trains (is possible) and e-rickshaws, for within city travel. 
  • Prohibiting the use of plastic in any form that can cause a lot of imbalance in the ecosystem. 
  • Choosing solar powered properties so that electricity is ensured without using any heavy equipment. 
  • Reducing litter as much as possible and using dustbins frequently.
  • Water recycling methods that preserve and endorse water conservation. 

These are some factors that can contribute to a more sustainable trip and ensure a responsible trip for the tourists.

“I would highly recommend this company!”

“I came in a group of 5 young women and we were a little nervous about coming to India. TRAVELOSEI made us feel very safe here. They picked us up from our hotel and even though we had a plan of things we wanted to visit, they are very flexible. We made several detours each day and they took us wherever we wanted to go. The drivers were excellent and the tour guides were very knowledgable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them, we will absolutely use them when we come back!”

“We had a terrific time!”

“I went to India with a few coworkers for a business trip and we booked a Taj Mahal tour on our 24 hr layover in Delhi. Travelosei took care of everything - they organized the car transport (including a last minute swap when we had to switch hotels) and planned a lovely tour of Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and a few artisans. At every stop, we skipped the lines and our guide Talib knew all the best places to get great views and take nice pictures of us. He also shared a lot of history as we walked through the sites. We had a terrific time and cannot recommend TRAVELOSEI enough.”

“Thank you so much TRAVELOSEI”

“The amount of knowledge and details in his stories as well as history. He was also wonderful at guiding us through the local culture how to act where how and what not to. Javed was very patient and very kind to my many questions about the smallest things. Such a good experience with TRAVELOSEI in general. This was our second trip to Agra but the first time with them. And what a pleasure. When I come back or I know anyone going to Agra I will diffidently suggest them to have Javed to guide them around if he has time. Thank you so much TRAVELOSEI”
