VIP category - Indian luxury cars (Indian Maharaja, Palace on Wheels, Royal Rajasthan on Wheels, Golden Chariot and others) .Ayurvedic and spa resorts of the luxury class in the Himalayas (Ananda Spa and Moksha) and Kerala (Leela Kempinski, Kumarakom Lake Resort, Kalari Kovilakom, Taj Bekal, Surya Samudra).Individual excursion programs developed on the basis of 5 * luxury hotels, such as the Taj, Oberoi or hotels, which are a historical heritage, that is, the former palace of one or another maharaja .Excursion programs for VIP tourists with transfers between cities on private planes .Safari on the National Parks of India with accommodation in luxurious "lodges", belonging, for example, to the chain of hotels "Taj" .

The unique hotel segment, which was mentioned earlier, is an Ayurvedic hotel-clinic. The homeland of such hotels is Kerala. And to this day basically all hotels professionally specializing in ayurvedic treatment are in Kerala.

Another type of hotel, widely spread mainly in Central India, but taking place in South and North India is the so-called Heritage Hotel, that is, a building converted from the Maharaja Palace into a hotel. In some such hotels, the spirit of the past is still preserved with all the antique furniture and decor elements of past centuries. There are often residential quarters for the descendants of the former rulers, so that they can make arrivals in their ancestral nest. The conditional star rating of such original hotels is 3 * -5 * "de luxe."
