Inspired by the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movies and the BBC documentaries that followed them, Angel Holidays has created its own Exotic Marigold experiment where volunteers can travel to India to see what retirement would bring. The trip is almost 3 weeks in duration and will operate much like the BBC series. In fact, it has been developed with the help of the BBC production team.

You will stay in Jaipur and the same home used for the BBC series with Miriam Margolyes, Wayne Sleep, Jan Leaming and others used for the series. At the end, we’ve also added 3 magical nights in the city of Udaipur, where you’ll also witness Holi: the wonderful festival of light and colour. We’ll also take you to the Exotic Marigold Hotel used for the movies with Judy Dench etc, before flying back to Delhi. A journey by  to the Taj Mahal, like in the BBC series, is included too, as well as a train trip across the desert and internal flight.

The trip cost is just £1,595 (based two sharing) reduced to only £1,495 for those who reserve their place(s) before 30th June. Return flights to Delhi start are extra, and start at approximately £369 which we help you find. There is a single supplement of £395, but we can try arrange a same sex room-share if you prefer.

If you would like to take part in this once in a lifetime experience, please contact us via this website. Angel Holidays will repeat this experience again in the autumn of 2019 and in 2020, so you can also join our mailing list for future Exotic Marigold trips. Please note this trip might be covered by the UK media.
