Asia Transpacific Journeys Responds to Increased Demand For Custom India Travel

BOULDER, Colo. (Business Wire EON) April 29, 2008 -- India is emerging as one of the world’s must-see travel destinations. Asia Transpacific Journeys, a luxury Asia travel company specializing in Custom India Travel and luxury tours to India has developed itineraries that go beyond the iconic visit to the Taj Mahal, in order to meet increased demand from travelers who wish to explore the multi-cultural facets of Northern India and the Himalaya or explore lush, tropical Southern India.

Southern India is home to some of the most progressive, well-educated and prosperous states in India--the infrastructure of hotels is first class and there are direct flights connecting major cities country-wide.

Says Marilyn Downing Staff, Asia Transpacific Journeys' founder and owner: “Southern India is home to some of the most progressive, well-educated and prosperous states in India—the infrastructure of hotels is first class and there are direct flights connecting major cities country-wide.”

Travelers are also curious about the level of accommodations available for travel to India. “The accommodations throughout India are superlative in every sense”, notes Downing Staff. In central India it’s possible to stay at restored maharajah’s palaces that rank among the world’s greatest hotels. In the south, properties are traditionally appointed boutique hotels and converted private mansions. The piece de resistance in Northern India should include a stay at the Ananda Spa in the Himalayas. This heavenly retreat recently garnered the coveted World’s Number One Destination Spa award from Conde Nast Traveler magazine.

Many travelers experience India on three different journeys. Most travelers begin with central India to explore stunning Rajasthan, sacred Varanasi and the sublime Taj Mahal—that classic India that you hold in your mind’s eye. By contrast, the south feels like a different country, tropical and lush—the spice mecca that Columbus was searching for. There is a languorous feel, and the ancient temple architecture is dramatic. Conversely, the stark, snow-capped northern Himalayan region is home to ridge-top monasteries with contrasting Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu and mystic religious traditions.

Traveling with a knowledgeable, reputable travel company will assure consistently excellent quality in lodging, transport, logistics and local guides. Additional benefits of private, custom travel to India with Asia Transpacific Journeys include itineraries that can be crafted around a traveler’s unique interests, such as the arts, yoga, cuisine, wildlife, spas or schools. The per diem cost of a Custom Journey in India starts from $350 per person per day. This rate includes accommodations, private guide and driver, nearly all meals, transfers, entrance fees, emergency and medical evacuation insurance and a comprehensive pre-departure packet.
