APT has launched Small Group Journeys, a brand-new travel style of land itineraries for up to 16 guests.
The inaugural collection features three immersive tours in India, and more destinations will be added this summer.
Operating between October 2024 and December 2025, the new trips will showcase India’s most incredible sights in comfort and style.
Guests can watch the sunrise over the Taj Mahal, hand select ingredients for a cooking lesson on a chef-led tour of spice-scented markets, and search for tigers in Ranthambore National Park.
