SARAI AT TORIA, MADHYA PRADESH
SARAI – OR SERAI – IS THE ANCIENT PERSIAN FOR AN INN
Sarai – or serai – is the ancient Persian for an inn, and toria means a village; but at the Sarai at Toria the similarity to your local on the village green ends at the name.
You’ll be surrounded by nine acres of lovely, undulating countryside leading to the beautiful River Ken – which flows through a nearby tiger reserve – and a delightful forest.
The inn itself accommodates you in a choice of rustic cottages made largely from local materials and furnished in the regional tradition of elegant simplicity, with verandas and private courtyards. The open lounge gives commanding views towards the tiger reservation.

“ONE OF THE BEST HOLIDAYS”
From the very beginning, the advice was honest, efficient and spot on. We came with a few ideas, and the team helped shape them into something even better. The result was a holiday we absolutely loved: luxurious places to stay, wonderful experiences and charming staff throughout.
“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.
“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
