India Highlights
India offers a stunning mix of experiences — the Taj Mahal, vibrant palaces and desert forts in Rajasthan, spiritual immersion along the Ganges in Varanasi, backwaters and beaches in Kerala, Himalayan trekking, wildlife safaris for tigers and leopards, and flavorful regional cuisines.
India Eco-Luxury
Whilst not always leading the sustainability conversation, India does have some genuine standouts. Most notably Evolve Back Coorg and CGH Earth Marari Beach for eco-conscious wellness, Sujan Jawai and Pench Tree Lodge for low-impact wildlife immersion, and The Leela Palace Udaipur — one of the few Beyond Green–certified palace hotels in the world.
You can make a lasting difference in India in several inspiring ways: you can teach or be a reading partner at a school for low-income children, participate in elephant conservation, or install an eco-friendly stove for a family.
You can bond with your kids and they will return home inspired to be world changers.
