Insight Vacations’ Signature Year continues with the release of its 2015-16 India, Bhutan & Nepal brochure. The comprehensive collection of luxury, escorted journeys includes six Insight Gold journeys that feature an array of hotels and dining. Additionally, seven premium Mini Stays have been designed to complement the longer journeys, or be booked as stand-alone tours.
Sharon Jordan, Country Manager, said: “This year Insight’s six Insight Gold itineraries include all evening meals and Insight’s Signature Events. Internal flights and rail journeys are also part of the one price, offering guests exceptional value for money.”
Insight’s programme offers dining at the finest restaurants, opulent accommodation at hotels and palaces, luxurious transportation with business class legroom and smaller group sizes, and a professional Tour Director who acts as a ‘personal concierge’.
