To celebrate the 70th anniversary of Indian independence and the nationwide cinema release of Viceroy?s House on March 3, Cox & Kings has introduced a new private tour following in the footsteps of the last viceroy to India, Lord Mountbatten.
Priced from ?2,425 per person including breakfast accommodation, transfers and flights, In the Viceroy?s Footsteps is an 11-day, nine-night private tour that visits some of the historic sites associated with British rule, which ended in 1947 with the partition of India as well as some of the film locations that feature in Viceroy?s House.
Guests can explore the viceroy?s house, now the President?s Palace, where Nehru, Jinnah and Gandhi converged to determine the future of an independent India. They can also discover India?s colonial-era history in Delhi, before heading to Jodhpur to see some of the main filming locations.
The operator's India product manager, Sue Livsey, said: "I am delighted to be working alongside the Viceroy?s House team. This is a fantastic film explaining the complex history of India?s partition and independence and this new tour will bring even greater understanding of this story, visiting the places at its heart."
