Immerse yourself in India; discover the spiritual heartlands awash

with sensory spices, romantic palaces and ancient temples.


A luxury India holiday will dazzle you with its

beauty and diversity. India offers a sensual

overload of snowbound peaks, blistering

deserts and stunning coastline, surrounding

dramatic cities, remote villages and some of

the most incredible architectural delights man

has ever created.

Its glorious diversity extends to the people and their lifestyles,

with each region generating a totally unique culture. Their

silverware, carpets, leatherwork and antiques make India a

veritable shopping paradise. Silks, spices and jewellery are

also excellent value for money, as is the delicious food.

Delhi, with its colonial architecture and bustling street life, evokes

the very essence of India’s glorious heritage, a gateway into a land

of palatial ruins and timeless monuments. Here the sacred Ganges

flows past a tableau of hilltop forts and holy cities, where the

elegance of Jaipur and Udaipur offer stark contrast to the jungles

of India’s tiger reserves.

Aside from wondrous sites including the Taj Mahal and Amber Fort,

India offers visitors a wealth of diversions, such as spa treatments,

Ayurvedic or otherwise, elephant rides and colourful ceremonies.

Possessing a historical heritage that can trace its lineage back to

Buddha himself, India is without a doubt one of the most visually

and culturally fascinating regions of the world.

This national park received international recognition from Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale, the Jungle Book. The park’s open habitat not only lends well to wildlife viewing, but also offers striking views of the area’s sheer beauty.

Baghvan is aptly named after one of India’s iconic symbols, the Bengal

tiger. This enchanting lodge is located on the edge of Pench National

Park, a dry deciduous forest of predominantly teak trees and meandering

jungle streams. A mere five-minute drive to the park’s entrance takes

guests deep into the heart of the Indian jungle. Breakfasts and lunches

are served on a sweeping shaded deck surrounding the beautiful

swimming pool and overlooking the nullah, a favoured route of the Pench

tigers. Sunset is celebrated with cocktails under a huge Banyan tree

whilst watching a giant flying squirrel perform breathtaking aerobatics.

The 12 charming stand alone suites have a contemporary bungalow feel

with a cheeky 50’s ambience, with contrasting hues of copper and pale

turquoise. Stairs lead guests up to a machan (a covered rooftop platform)

which is perfect for romantic sleep outs.

One of Central India’s lesser known reserves, Pench National Park is

situated in the Seoni and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh.

Dominated by hills, forests and valleys, this national park derives its

name from the Pench River, which meanders its way through the entire

stretch of the 760 km² park. A typical Central Indian teak jungle, Pench

supports a rich variety of wildlife, including the tiger, leopard, wild dog,

gaur, sambar, chital and brilliant birdlife.

beautiful trees, the Madhuca Indica or butter tree. The lodge sprawls over

the 17 hectare grounds, just 20 minutes from the park entrance. The 12

charming guest suites are built in the vernacular style of Central India

and each is accessed through private courtyards with shaded seating and

traditional mud floors. Interiors include wooden shutters, tapered mud

coloured walls in lime and earth washes and open rafters with roughly

hewn wooden beams.

Situated in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, Bandhavgarh

National Park is a 450 km² renowned tiger reserve. Nestled among

the picturesque Vindhya and Satpura ranges, this is one of India’s most

beautiful national parks. The dramatic landscape features tropical forests

and woodlands, and steep rocky hills with flat grasslands in the valleys

below. An ancient 2000 year old fort, 10th-century statue of Lord

Vishnu, and the dense Sal jungle combined with the grasslands make

Bandhavgarh one of the most extraordinary parks in India.

The density of its tiger population has made Bandhavgarh world famous.

The park is also home to a large variety of mammals: leopard, spotted

deer, Sambar deer, nilgai, wild boar, chinkara, sloth bear, rhesus macaque,

grey langur, jungle cat, hyena, porcupine, jackal, fox, and wild dog.

A place far removed from the noise and clutter of the modern world, where space, peace and epic landscapes provoke the imagination and nourish the soul.

Set in a stunning mountain wilderness at 2200 metres, 360° Leti is

where you can take time to reflect, and allow the space, peace

and astonishingly beautiful landscape to work their magic around you.

With only four private guest cottages and a main lounge-dining area,

360° Leti provides an exclusive mountain experience – the first and only

place of its kind in the Himalayas. Indoors, there’s gourmet cooking and

fine wine, as well as beds adorned with pashmina blankets and fluffy

duvets. Outdoors, there are mountain walks with private guides, delicious

picnics, fabulous views, just chilling out in planter’s chairs – and, if you

wish, yoga and meditation sessions.

As the sun rises higher, the achingly pure light casts sharply defined

shadows. Eagles soar and swoop on the rising thermals. There’s no

sound, other than the breeze and an occasional snatch of birdsong.

Mesmerised by the beauty, you may simply sit and stare. Or you might

pack fishing gear and a picnic lunch and hike down to the river at the

base of the valley. In the evening you gather around the lodge fireplace,

before an astonishingly delicious dinner, served by candle light. Outside,

the sky is an arc of black velvet, the stars diamond-bright. Tonight you

sleep better than you can ever remember sleeping.

ASIA

Just like its world-renowned delicious cuisine, Asia is marked by a

tantalising melting-pot of contrasting flavours, sights and smells.



ORIENT

Covering a rich diversity of landscapes, cultures

and historical narrative, this vibrant region

provides a magnitude of sensory experiences.

A continent where communist states lie

alongside democratic republics and kingdoms,

where colonial landmarks jostle for attention

with skyscrapers and ancient temples.

China still remains one of the least understood and powerfully

impressive nations in the East. Among the verdant jungles of

Cambodia, the spectacular remains of the once great Khmer Empire

stand silent and proud, the exquisite temples of Angkor being

amongst the finest of their kind. The beautiful landscapes and

fading French facades of Vietnam and Laos seem a far cry from

the colonial wars of the past, the mighty Mekong and its people

continuing to ebb and flow much as they have for generations.

Visitors to Asia claim that it’s the everyday details that provide

the most unforgettable memories of their holidays here: a rainbow

of vibrant prints in the markets, the scent of aromatic spices frying

on the street stalls, the sight of an elephant being ridden through

the streets or the feel of the soft sand between the toes on a

pristine beach.

Journey to Asia for a fascinating glimpse into unspoilt lands

and cultures.

Combine Cambodia’s charming French-built capital, Phnom Penh, with the breathtaking monuments of Angkor for a comprehensive private journey.

Phnom Penh, the Pearl of Asia, capital of Cambodia at the hub of the

three rivers, is often overlooked by visitors. The city is an incongruous

cluster of crumbling French colonials, and the central riverside area has

a pace all its own that’s great for walking around. Phnom Penh’s packed

with history, such as the Royal Palace, a stone showpiece of classical

Khmer architecture, and the Silver Pagoda, on the palace grounds,

a jewel-encrusted wonder. Examine the painful, heart wrenching

reminders of Cambodia’s ugly past under the Khmer Rouge regime

at the Genocide Museum to learn more about the Cambodian civil war.

Throughout the city, you’ll see the faded glory of aged French colonial

architecture. Siem Reap is home of the Temples of Angkor. Angkor Wat,

one of the greatest religious monuments in the world, was built in

the early 12th century and is a masterpiece of classical Khmer art and

architecture and is the most famous of all temples. Enjoy a breath

SOUTH AMERICA

A rich mix of European charm and Afro-Caribbean culture, South

America is a true delight for the senses. Sounds, colours and traditions

blend beautifully to create a continent of sublime contrasts.



South America is blessed with some of Mother

Nature’s and mankind’s most breathtaking

wonders. From the high, snow-covered peaks

of the Peruvian Andes and the vibrant pulsating

cities, to the unique and world renowned –

islands of the Galapagos, this is a continent that

cannot fail to inspire, astound, and captivate.

Argentina is a land of passion, drama, and contrast, all summed

up by the iconic tango. Adventure lovers come to explore and

traverse the flat plains of the pampas, the high peaks of the Andes

Mountains and the extraordinary landscapes of Patagonia.

Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires, is often referred to as the ‘Paris of

the Pampas’ – the well-heeled, tree-lined Avenida 9 de Julio is said

to be modelled on the Champs Elysees, and a visit here allows you

to soak up the distinctly European café culture.

Brazil is a land of colour, flavour and sound – with the samba providing

the heartbeat to the nation. Here cities like Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo

beautifully assault the senses, and enchanting colonial towns scattered

across the country give you a real flavour of the Brazilian people.

Peru is almost a continent in itself and its passion for adventure

shines through from the soaring, unspoilt Andes to its desert coastal

plains. Discover the world-famous and awe-inspiring Machu Picchu –

the mist-shrouded Inca citadel.

Wildlife lovers aren’t left out either, with the lush tropical cloud

forests plus, of course, the world-renowned Galapagos Islands.

The Explora concept is a philosophy of travel born out of the desire to explore the natural and cultural environment of remote regions. A feast for the senses, and repose for reason.

Patagonia is the southernmost region of the American continent and one

of the least populated areas in the world. For many centuries, this was

the end of the known world. The subject of legends, a strange, far-flung

land, home to gigantic beings with odd habits. Five hundred years later,

Patagonia continues to be a wild, unknown land at the end of the world.

Explora is the only lodge at the centre of Torres del Paine National Park,

and is set among an exhilarating combination of glaciers, emerald lakes

and mountain peaks, combining refined luxury with adventure. A range

of daily excursions are available to suit every ability and include sailing to

the magnificent Grey Glacier, horseriding to the Laguna Verde and hiking

monitoring our ground operations to ensure they meet with our high standards.
