Luxury is not a commodity; it is not something money alone can buy. It is about an intricate understanding about the lifestyle, the refined aesthetics, the deep study into human psychology to make an experience truly luxurious. Fortunately, there are India luxury tours that take care of the smallest details of your India travel plan to add a whole new dimension to it. Take for example, an early morning boat ride in the River Ganges at Varanasi. The boat ride starts at 5:00 AM and takes you around several Ghats of Varanasi. It offers you a look at the temples and cultural attractions of this very old city. Most of the tourists who are still sleepy eyed and only half awake fail to enjoy the full effect of the boat cruise – the balmy breeze, the rising sun, and the city rising from its slumber with the first rays of the sun. An India luxury tour will make sure that if you are not an early riser, you get ample of rest in the second half of the previous night so that you can sleep early and be fresh and awake for the experience ahead. The boats are handpicked to offer you maximum comfort and a fine piece of Indian instrumental music, with sarangi and tabla, is played throughout the boat ride to accompany the sounds of mantras in the temples near the Ghats as the sun rises. The expert guide will engage you with interesting historical legends and mythological stories about the various Ghats of Varanasi and may even deliver some interesting insights on some of the most exotic traditions and customs of Hindus and sadhus. The Taj Mahal in Agra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and icon of Indian tourism, is the highlight of almost all the India tour itineraries. Seeing the expansive white marble Taj Mahal, adorned with motifs that show exceptional inlay work of precious and semi-precious stones such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, the double-domed mausoleum, the landscaped gardens with fountains, perfect symmetry, and clever optical illusions is an experience in itself. A luxury India tour with Taj as its highlight offers you a stay in the palace-like hotel that extends you honor and hospitality that were once shown to the royal guests of the great Mughals, and has several architectural and artistic highlights that together form a visual treat for you. Massive chandeliers, grand paintings, most expensive carpets, and plush décor make you want to explore every corner of the hotel but it is the lure of the view of Taj at all times – changing its colors with the color of sky day and night – that makes you want to go back to your room and draw back curtains from your windows. India luxury tours might a bit more expensive but then they offer you value for your money.
