Nouvelle India

At the annual Virtuoso Travel Symposium in Las Vegas, there were a number of provocative and unique travel experiences that caught my eye…
India has had an explosion of luxury products in the past couple of years. The challenge with India is the sheer size and unpredictability of transport. Two new concepts that handle this issue are: itineraries by private plane and a new luxury train. Private plane travel allows clients to discover the palaces, forts and high mountains of the north while enjoying the sun, beaches and distinct culture of the south. Itineraries are surprisingly affordable- around $5400 per person-not bad for private plane travel.
The luxury train will cover both the Taj Mahal and safaris to view India’s tigers. It has ensuite bathrooms with all gourmet meals and private excursions with sumptuous staterooms at $800 per person per day.
