Insight Vacations®, the India Specialist, held an intimate media event in New York City Wednesday night, February 25, 2015, promoting their exceptional journeys to India, Bhutan and Nepal. Insight Vacations President Phil Cappelli was joined by Global Brand Ambassador and Bollywood actress, Lisa Ray, and an exclusive group of media for an evening of authentic Indian food and inspirational travel conversations.

“We had a very enjoyable night, complete with delicious fare and extraordinary people,” said Cappelli. “It was extremely rewarding to showcase our India product to an eager group of consumer and trade media, and Lisa's invaluable account of her experience with Insight Vacations was definitely a highlight.”

Insight Vacations' 2015-2016 India, Bhutan and Nepal collection of luxury escorted journeys includes six all-inclusive Insight Gold journeys featuring an impressive array of outstanding Signature Events. Insight's India product also includes seven premium Mini Stays that have been designed to perfectly complement longer journeys, but they can also be combined for a customizable adventure or stand alone as a remarkable short trip.

2015 has been heralded Insight Vacations' Signature Year, and the India collection is brimming with Signature Experiences, Dining, and hotels that differentiate Insight's program from other tour operators. For example, while discovering the "Essence of India," guests commute around Delhi like a local with a cycle rickshaw ride through the lanes of the Chandni Chowk Bazaar before visiting the Gandhi memorial at Raj Ghat. On "Colours of Rajasthan," guests explore a potpourri of palaces and pavilions – and Rudyard Kipling's realm of the Bengal Tiger – as well as enjoy an evening cruise on Lake Pichola followed by an inspired Celebration Dinner. Even the Mini Stays are full of Signature surprises, such as partaking in the fervent “Putting to Bed” ceremony at the Amritsar temple on Insight's "Spiritual Divine."

Lisa Ray is an international actress, former Top Chef Canada host, humanitarian and world traveler who has partnered with Insight Vacations as the company's first-ever Global Brand Ambassador. Her goal is to share her passion for luxurious travel with the world, and her wanderlust recently led her to India with Insight.
