There are hotels that say they are palaces, and then there are actual palaces; a lot of countries around Asia have deep, abiding histories, but India is one of the few where you can sleep in it. From ancient rulers’ homes in Jaipur to 32 acres of 5-star elegance in Hyderabad, some hotels have experiences that usurp luxury and go all the way to regal.

“When Generosity and Greed set out to visit [Orccha], they saw a huge array of forts, towns, and villages – how could I possibly recount all their names.” These words were written by scholar and poet Keshavdas in the 16th century, a time of the great Rudra Pratap Singh, King of Orchha. The economic and political majesty are now gone. What remains is a forgotten medieval capital in the heart of India’s Madhya Pradesh. A small town, scattered chhatris, and a towering fortress complex are Orchha’s legacy. It is in that hollow reverence that Orchha is so unique. As Keshavdas said of a lake, “It is marvelous, clear, vast, and profound in its depths.”

Some 1,000 kilometers from the famed Taj Mahal and the cities of Rajasthan and bustle of Delhi, exists an Indian state few know well. Arunachal Pradesh is home to some of India’s highest mountains, a huge range of tribal cultures, and a variety of religious practices. You’ll find few saris, Ganesh statues, or chapatis here, but instead a different kind of India. Nestled in a corner of Arunachal is Tawang. Not only does it take two days to drive here from Gauhati, the nearest airport, but in order to reach Tawang, you have to cross the Sela Pass at 4,170 meters, one of the highest roads in the world.
