6 best places for getting married in India

India has some super-exotic wedding destinations where a combination of history, heritage and nature helps it to be chased by elite couples. In fact, the grandeur and magnificence of most of these destinations is so vast that they are high on demand almost throughout the year. So much so that even foreign tourists come to this country seeking a grand matrimony under luxury Indian travel packages. 

Here is a quick runway for your eyes to scan the topmost wedding destinations in the country:

1.      Udaipur, Rajasthan: Udaipur is the city where lakes and palaces dominate the proceedings. It is the city where romance is perennially in the air. The regal hotels and heritage palaces allow couples to get wedded in true Maharajah style. Jagmandir Palace in the middle of Lake Pichola is amongst the best wedding venues in India.

2.      Jaipur, Rajasthan: Jaipur may be in the same state but it has a slightly different ambience than what Udaipur has to offer. While Udaipur focuses more on heritage and lavishness of hotels, at Jaipur you can get more diversity. Different palaces and havelis allow couples to book them for a few days. The city also has a number of interesting landmarks like the Amber Fort and the Hawa Mahal to name a few. Jaipur sightseeing can enable the guests to enjoy during their stay with day trips. 

3.      Jodhpur, Rajasthan: Jodhpur is third in the list as far as Rajasthan goes. This city, in comparison to Jaipur and Udaipur, is lesser known and can offer more surprises. Its marquee landmark is the goliath fort of Mehrangarh. A wedding at this fort is nothing short of a fairytale ceremony. Umaid Bhawan Palace is another prestigious option. The heritage hotel is extremely luxurious and is counted amongst the top hotels in the country. It can be booked at discount for the wedding week under luxury India holiday packages. 

4.      Alleppey, Kerala: Though Kerala as a whole serves as an enticing destination for wedding & honeymoon, if you have to zero down on one single town, it has got to be Alleppey. This lagoon-laden destination has all those trademark backwaters we keep talking of. While there are good hotels and resorts for a luxurious wedding, a more adventurous proposition will be to tie the knot in a wooden houseboat. 

5.      Lakshadweep: Wish to marry in front of the quiet seas and away from all chaos and confusion? Then opt for Lakshadweep, the island-group which is grabbing all eyeballs these days. A bouquet of beach wedding, diving and solace is what is making couples run for this venue! The most popular site to exchange your vows is Agatti Island Beach Resort.

6.      Goa: We have reserved the best for the last. Goa is easily the most sought-after destination for tying the knot in India. It offers a yummy variety of beaches and an equally delicious stock of resorts. The food is good, the ambience is even better and the fun-quotient is heartily infectious. The best luxury India tour packages include Goa in their kitty. http://goo.gl/UcN6Qp

India: A Land Of Cows, Beggars And Sadhus?

India is sometimes depicted in a very poor light. After watching films like ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, you may get the feeling that the country is a domain of the beggars and the poor. However, that is not quite true. It is right to say that India has its share of slums and beggars, but it is much more than that. Luxury India holidays can show you the other side of this country, a side which is much more polished and visually appealing. How about heading to Goa and sinking into the riches of luxury resorts, indulgent spas and dazzling beaches? How about sailing away to Kerala and enjoying a romantic sunset ride over the backwaters or the deliciously good Ayurvedic massage on the body?

Yes, luxury holidays in India cook up luxurious and unforgettable itinerary for you, wherein you live like a king and queen. India is a land of dichotomy. At almost every city or town, you shall come across those poor kids and slums, those beggars who keep vying for your attention around the temples, and the sadhus who can be seen flaunting their beards and copious locks of hair at the river ghats. But every city or town has also got glittering malls and a sprawl of retail shops and luxury parlors.

Some must-visit destinations under luxury India holidays include Rajasthan, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Goa, Kerala and Shimla. At each and every corner, you can witness monuments, temples, hills and seas. India, indeed, is one of the most colorful destinations in the world.

What Is The Best Time To Tour India If You Are An English Tourist?

A lot of people from England plan a private tour to India to explore its beauty and culture. English tourists take a personal delight in this trip since the country was ruled by the British for 200 years. So, traveling back through the times into the historic India is often a window to the world of their own, as Indian history blends enigmatically with British history and often the gap between the two is significantly small.

India private tours can be planned throughout the year. India is a sub-tropical country and its vast geography dissects it into several regions enjoying their own distinct climate. Nevertheless, the major part of the country stays warm, even hot, during the summer months between April and June. So, these are the months you should avoid especially if you are planning to visit the landlocked cities like Delhi or the desert state of Rajasthan. This time, however, would be good to visit the hill stations like Kashmir, Shimla, Darjeeling or Ooty.

The best time to visit the plains will be during the cooler months. English tourists are basically accustomed to cooler climate. So, they will enjoy touring the length and breadth of the nation during the months between October and March. This is the time when the weather is pleasant. Some cities can get cooler than the others while the northern hill stations often experience snowfall.

For a private tour to India, always take professional help. A reliable tour agency can help you check out the top attractions at the most opportune moments when weather will be at its friendliest.

What To Do During A Bandh- A Guide To Foreign Tourists?

Luxury India holidays can be extremely memorable for many great reasons. But sometimes, you may also need to be prepared for some undesirable situations like a national strike or ‘bandh’ which is occasionally called by the ruling or the opposing political party as a mark of protest on the face of some national crisis.

During the ‘bandh’ day, the communication/ transport system comes to a standstill or slows down drastically. Most of the vehicles are off the roads for fear of vandalism and so the streets wear a dreary and empty look. So, if you were planning a sightseeing expedition on that day, then you will have to put your plans to rest.

Traveling or sightseeing during that day will not be advisable. Even if you own a private vehicle or have a similar arrangement, it will not be recommended to travel, since vandals often create troubles if they spot cars on the roads. The best thing to do during the day will be to lock yourself in your hotel room and enjoy a long siesta. Alternatively, you can enjoy the facilities in your hotel.

India luxury holiday packages often put you in posh hotels, many of which have great restaurants, pools, gyms, libraries and spa parlors. You can indulge in self-grooming, rest and relaxation during the day.

If the bandh is a 12-hour strike, then it will get over by 6 pm. After that, the situation resumes normalcy and you can fearlessly go out to the markets, malls or other evening attractions like pubs, clubs, movies, bars or discos.
