Holidaying like the rich

An experience to beat all others makes a luxury holiday. The rest is about details. Will the ride be a Ferrari, a Harley Davidson, or a harrumphing horse? The noisy thrill of a casino or the quiet suspense of watching a pride of lions? Snow as far as the eyes can see, or sand? There is no end to what’s demanded, and what’s on offer. Staying at luxury properties are further garnished with customization and exclusivity. Culinary experiences are high on the demand list. Here are five destinations popular with well-heeled Indians, according to the luxury arms of travel companies Thomas Cook India, Cox and Kings India and Kuoni India.
