Though part of Asia, the Indian subcontinent seems worlds away from the nearby Southeast Asia or East Asia. Moving from the peaks of the snow-covered Himalayas in the northern part of the country to the famous sand dune deserts of royal Rajasthan, the massive metropolis of New Delhi to the surprisingly laidback tropical south, which is home to lush rainforests and languid waterways, one can luxuriate in a variety of unique landscapes. Whether taking a Darjeeling trip package from Kolkata from city to family owned tea plantation or entering the other worldly scenery of Kashmir on a Delhi to Ladakh trip package the Secret Retreats concierges are ready to tailor your India travels to suit. Of course, the countless different customs, cultures, cuisines and communities found throughout this great country also add to incredible India’s ongoing appeal. The birthplace of some of the world’s greatest religions and teachings, from Buddhism to yoga, and with a population of more than 1.3 billion people, India always has something to enchant explorers, regardless of whether you are on your very first visit or have already spent months criss-crossing and exploring this continent of a country.
With so much to offer, it’s often best to choose one region and dive deep into its delights rather than try to organise a whirlwind tour. Carefully-curated India holiday tour packages from the people who know the country the best – its locals – help you make the most of your precious time. And the Secret Retreats Concierges, Asia locals themselves, always work with community based teams for the best on the ground knowledge and support in each destination.
Discover India from north to south with the best travel packages in India, including luxury India tour packages, from Secret Retreats.

From ancient kingdoms to contemporary cuisine, history and culture lovers will never tire of the country’s colourful past, as well as its art, music and more.For instance, Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta), was originally founded as an East India Company trading post and was the capital of India while under the British Raj between the late 1700s to 1911. While no longer the seat of government, today it is known for its slow-life friendly attitude of the locals, grand colonial buildings, established art galleries, interesting temples and vibrant festivals.
