India

A private Rajasthan journey in India moves through Udaipur, Jaipur and Jodhpur over 8–10 days, with palace suites, private forts and the India of the maharajas. Its defining moment is the Lake Palace: a suite in a palace that floats on the water, a private boat at dusk, and the marble glowing rose. Your advisor reshapes the route entirely around you.

India's Wellness Journey centres on an Ayurvedic sanctuary in the Himalayas, set above the Ganges, over 7–10 days. It is paced with private practitioners and total stillness, with the mountains as your only horizon. The sanctuary prepares for you days before you arrive, so the silence is already arranged when you land.

In Kerala, the backwaters are travelled on a private houseboat through still canals, best known for the moment at dawn: the palms waking and breakfast served on the water. The Kerala & the South journey runs 6–8 days and pairs the backwaters with the tea hills of India's quiet south, a journey built around nature and calm.

Yes. India's Golden Triangle journey is arranged to reach the Taj before the crowds, alongside Delhi's hidden lanes and Agra's marble. The 6–8 day route is guided by historians, giving heritage and access rather than a standard tour. Like every journey in the guide, it is a point of departure that your advisor reshapes around you.

Choose by what you want India to feel like. Rajasthan's Palaces suits culture and the world of the maharajas; the Himalayan Wellness Journey suits renewal and stillness; Kerala & the South suits nature and calm on the backwaters; the Golden Triangle suits heritage with access to Delhi, Agra and the Taj. These are points of departure, which your advisor can weave into one seamless journey.

In India, Forest Travel times the journey to the hour more than to a single month. The Golden Triangle journey reaches the Taj before the crowds, the temple is visited at dawn before the pilgrims, Kerala's backwaters are travelled at dawn on a private houseboat as the palms wake, and the Lake Palace is seen from a private boat at dusk. Your advisor sets the timing around the journey you choose.

Forest Travel's private India journeys run from 6 to 10 days. Rajasthan's Palaces takes 8–10 days through Udaipur, Jaipur and Jodhpur; the Himalayan Wellness Journey takes 7–10 days; Kerala & the South takes 6–8 days; and the Golden Triangle takes 6–8 days. These are points of departure, not packages, and your advisor can weave several into one seamless journey and reshape the length entirely around you.

Yes. Forest Travel's India journeys are points of departure, not packages, and your advisor reshapes each one entirely around you. The palace suite, the temple at dawn before the pilgrims, the Himalayan sanctuary that prepares for you days ahead, the private houseboat in Kerala and historian-guided access to the Taj are arranged by name, through forty years of relationships, and woven into one seamless journey.

A private India journey starts from around US$1,000 per person per night, rising with palace suites, the Himalayan sanctuary, a private houseboat in Kerala and historian-guided access to the Taj. That is a starting point, not a quote: your advisor shares the range early and confirms the figure once the route is chosen. Forest Travel's planning fee is US$250 per itinerary.

Yes. Rajasthan's Palaces, through Udaipur, Jaipur and Jodhpur with palace suites and private forts, and Kerala & the South, with backwaters, tea hills and a private houseboat, are points of departure your advisor weaves into one journey. October to March suits both, and the contrast works best in that order: the palaces and forts first, then the stillness of the south at the end.

The best months to go to India are October to March, the window Forest Travel builds its India journeys around. Within it, the timing is set to the hour as much as the month: the Taj reached before the crowds on the Golden Triangle, Kerala's backwaters at dawn on a private houseboat, and the Lake Palace in Udaipur from a private boat at dusk. Your advisor fixes the dates around the journey you choose.

The one that opens India by name rather than by ticket: the palace suite in Rajasthan, the temple before the pilgrims, the Himalayan sanctuary prepared days before you land. Forest Travel, a Miami agency since 1986 and a Virtuoso member, arranges these through in-house advisors in English or Spanish and weaves them into one private journey, from around US$1,000 per person per night. The planning fee is US$250 per itinerary.

A private 15-day trip to India, fourteen nights, starts from around US$14,000 per person, at Forest Travel's estimate of US$1,000 per person per night. The figure rises with palace suites in Rajasthan, the Himalayan sanctuary, a private houseboat in Kerala and historian-guided access to the Taj. Fifteen days is enough to combine two of the journeys, such as Rajasthan's Palaces with Kerala & the South. The planning fee is US$250 per itinerary.

Ten days fits one India journey at full length. Rajasthan's Palaces runs 8 to 10 days through Udaipur, Jaipur and Jodhpur, with palace suites and private forts. The Himalayan Wellness Journey runs 7 to 10 days in an Ayurvedic sanctuary above the Ganges. The Golden Triangle, with the Taj before the crowds, Delhi and Agra, and Kerala & the South each run 6 to 8 days, leaving room for a slower finish.
