Luxury Concierge in India & South Asia


India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh & Sri Lanka.
Unity in Diversity

From the Himalayas to the Indian Ocean.

No region on earth compresses more worlds into one journey. A single fortnight can move from a maharaja’s palace on Lake Pichola to a boardroom in Mumbai, from a tea estate above the clouds in Sri Lanka to a monastery pinned to a Himalayan cliff in Bhutan. The subcontinent rewards travellers who arrive with everything already arranged, and tests everyone else. Where the journey needs protection alongside the concierge layer, it is arranged on the same programme: close protection across India and close protection in Nepal, including altitude and evacuation planning for the mountain legs.

Algoz runs the region as one programme: palace suites and private villas, security-trained drivers, licensed protection through vetted local partners, priority access to the landmarks and tables that matter, and a single senior contact coordinating four countries, four currencies and four sets of rules on your behalf.

01 —

India — the palace circuit of Rajasthan

Nowhere else does hotel-keeping reach this register. The Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, Umaid Bhawan Palace above Jodhpur and the Taj Lake Palace floating on Lake Pichola in Udaipur remain working palaces as much as hotels, and the right suite in the right season is a negotiation we handle early. Beyond the cities we arrange the Aman-i-Khas tier of tented camps at the edge of Ranthambore for tiger safaris, private viewings of the Amber Fort before the crowds, and the winter run of festivals and weddings that fills the state’s calendars. Cars, guides and protection travel with you; the itinerary simply unfolds.

India — Mumbai & New Delhi

The commercial and political capitals run on different clocks, and we keep both. In Mumbai: suites at the Taj Mahal Palace above the Gateway of India, boardroom schedules in Bandra Kurla Complex, film-industry engagements and evenings on Marine Drive, with close protection in Mumbai arranged for principals whose profile requires it. In New Delhi: the hotels of Lutyens’ Delhi, protocol-sensitive movements around the diplomatic enclave of Chanakyapuri, and protective drivers and officers in New Delhi for executive and family visits. Two cities, one team, no gaps between airports and agendas.

03 —

Sri Lanka — south coast villas & tea country

An island that fits an entire continent’s variety into a week. On the south coast we take villas and suites from Galle to Tangalle, with the ramparts of Galle Fort, Amangalla within its walls and Amanwella on its private crescent of sand anchoring the coast’s quiet end; whale watching runs out of Mirissa and leopards hold the interior at Yala. Up in the highlands, the tea country around Nuwara Eliya and Ella still moves at plantation pace: estate bungalows among the Ceylon tea terraces, the celebrated hill railway from Kandy taken in private comfort, and mornings that begin above the clouds.

Nepal — Kathmandu & the Himalaya lodges

Kathmandu is the antechamber: the stupa at Boudhanath at dawn, the carved courtyards of the Durbar Squares, and heritage houses such as Dwarika’s that keep the valley’s craftsmanship alive. The mountains are the point. We arrange the lodge circuits of the Annapurna and Everest foothills, where a walking day ends in a hot shower and a proper cellar rather than a tent, helicopter transfers that turn a week’s trek into a long weekend, and the scenic mountain flights past Everest for those short on time. Guides, porters, permits and medical contingencies are planned before you land, not after.

05 —

Bhutan — the guided kingdom

Bhutan admits its visitors deliberately. Travel runs on the kingdom’s own terms: a licensed Bhutanese guide accompanies every journey, the government’s Sustainable Development Fee applies to each night, and the reward is a country that has kept what everywhere else has sold. We plan the full circuit: the climb to Paro Taktsang, the Tiger’s Nest monastery on its cliff; Punakha Dzong at the meeting of two rivers; audiences with astrologers and archers in Thimphu; and the spring and autumn tsechu festivals when the dzongs fill with masked dances. Lodge circuits at the Amankora and Six Senses level, and the famous mountain approach into Paro, are timed and booked well ahead, because Bhutan rewards nothing so much as early planning.

Why Algoz here — protection woven into the journey

Most concierge houses in the region stop at the hotel door; our doctrine starts before the aircraft does. In India, private security is a licensed industry regulated under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005, with agencies licensed state by state, and we coordinate exclusively with partners holding current licences; in Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan we work through vetted, locally authorised providers under each country’s rules. Protection is unarmed as a rule and discreet by design: advance work, secure drivers and route planning do most of the protecting. Every detail follows a written threat assessment and one supervising standard across all four countries. Read our close protection and doctrine pages, or see how Algoz compares to conventional providers.

Sri Lanka, South & West

The south-west coast at its calmest and driest: villa season around Galle and Tangalle, whale watching off Mirissa.

When the monsoon turns, the island simply rotates: the east coast takes over with clear water while the south rests.

Oct – Nov · Mar – May

Nepal’s Mountain Windows

The two classic Himalayan seasons: post-monsoon clarity in autumn, rhododendron bloom in spring. Lodges fill fast in both.

Good to Know

Concierge & Security in South Asia - Frequently Asked Questions

Do you support Indian business families and international executives across the subcontinent?

Yes. We coordinate concierge, heritage-palace stays, weddings, business travel and discreet protection for Indian principals and their family offices, and for international executives visiting the region, with multilingual coordinators and one accountable point of contact.

Which countries do you cover?

India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, with coordination across borders, remote regions and major metropolitan hubs.

Can you book the palace hotels of Rajasthan?

Yes. Suites at the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur and the Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur, plus tented camps of the Aman-i-Khas tier at Ranthambore for tiger safaris. The best suites in the winter season are a matter of early negotiation, and we start early.

Can you arrange a bodyguard in Mumbai or New Delhi?

Yes. We coordinate close protection in both cities through partners licensed under India's Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005, matched to a written threat assessment. At least seven days. That is what a properly run assignment needs: the brief vetted, the right officer assigned and freed from other commitments, and the advance work on routes, venues and access completed before you land. Shorter notice is handled case by case, but under 48 hours means an urgency fee and no guarantee of cover. No licensed officer is summoned in 24 hours.

How does travel to Bhutan work?

Bhutan operates guided travel by policy: a licensed Bhutanese guide accompanies every itinerary and the government's Sustainable Development Fee applies per night. We manage the approvals, the guide, the lodge circuit and the flights into Paro as one plan, and we recommend booking festival seasons months ahead.

What is the best time of year for the region?

October to March is the classic window for India; the south-west of Sri Lanka is at its best from December to April and the east coast from May to September; Nepal's mountain seasons are October to November and March to May; Bhutan is at its most vivid during the spring and autumn festivals.

How do you handle security in the region?

Through trusted, vetted local partners, we coordinate chauffeur services, close protection and executive security where required, calibrated to each country's protocols.

What does protection cost in South Asia?

Close protection through Algoz starts from USD 900 per day (EUR 850 market base) for a single licensed operative; armed details and multi-operative teams sit above the base and are quoted to the brief after assessment. Concierge support is quoted with the itinerary, and our published guides explain how engagements are structured.

Can you manage multi-country itineraries?

Yes. We provide advance planning and bespoke coordination across vast distances and varying operational environments, eliminating friction throughout.

Is the service suited to diplomatic and business travel?

Yes. The region is vital to global business and diplomacy, and our service is built for executive engagements, cultural pursuits and high-profile visits alike.

Discreet, Integrated, Trusted

Executive concierge in Mumbai with protection woven in.

Assistants, chiefs of staff and family offices arranging a principal’s stay work with one team that handles access, reservations, transport and security together - not a switchboard of separate vendors. Brief us once; we anticipate the rest.

Access is real and discretion is absolute: NDA-backed, OPSEC-aware planning, low-profile delivery, multilingual operatives, and protection that integrates so naturally it is never intrusive. It is why UHNWI and HNWI clients, royal households and the advisors who serve them treat Algoz as a trustworthy single point of contact in Mumbai.
