Strike off things from your bucket list

They are bound to make it to the most discerning bucket lists — TUI India in collaboration with Le Passage to India, the India-based inbound desti­nation management company, now has a Lifetime Experiences catalogue featuring incredible off-the-beaten-track journeys to be enjoyed in the lap of luxury. Would you like to sail by the icebergs, fjords and penguin colonies around Greenland and Spitsbergen? Then put Quark Expeditions (from Rs 553,470) on your list. Or you could sail anywhere you like in a private yacht helmed by an experienced profes­sional and throw in a bit of water sports, beachcombing and island hopping for fun (your personal chef will dish out great food) — they call that Moorings (from Rs 99,990). If it’s Intrepid Holidays that get you going, their line-up includes northern Spain, the historic Route 66, classic Malaysia or Thailand, and a Kenyan lodge safari with deeper introductions to traditional cultures (from Rs 105,000). The Indulgent India collection rounds off this tempting bouquet with handpicked trips to medieval forts, serene backwaters, Himalayan heights and jungle safaris (from Rs 78,000). And thus the bucket overfloweth. (1800-3000-8000; tui.in)
