A new company has been created to help showcase the wide range of hotels available to those taking flights to India.
Owner Phillippa Kaye believes Indian Experiences will play an important role in marketing India's large number of privately-operated hotels -especially those that aim to be eco-friendly or offer guests good memories.
"The focus is on the experience given to travellers in order to showcase the best of the local area and not just focus on the tourist hotspots." explained Ms Kaye to Travel Daily UK.
She is also planning to spend the next 12 months discovering some of India's most appealing hotels ranging from luxurious resorts to those based in the country's national parks.
