Maharajas Express – The Indian Splendour
Retrace the steps of Indian Royalty and the British Raj and ride the Maharajas’ Express, one of the world’s most luxurious trains, on a whistle-stop tour of Rajasthan. From panoramic windows, witness ever-changing scenery as you visit key attractions such as the tiger reserve Ranthambore, the iconic Taj Mahal, the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur and Udaipur’s Lake Palace.
The train recreates the elegance and opulence of India's Maharajas suffused with nostalgia in its décor, white-glove service, gourmet food, and lavish amenities. Departing from Delhi, the first stop is in Agra, where you have time to admire the Taj Mahal in all its majesty before your thrilling jeep safari in Ranthambore, hunting ground of the Bengal tiger. Jaipur is next to impress, as you take in the city’s landmarks – including the impressive Amber Fort. Then experience Bikaner’s orange dunes, the hilltop fortress of Mehrangarh in the ‘Blue City’ of Jodhpur and the gleaming white City Palace in Udaipur. End off in the financial capital city of Mumbai with a multitude of memories.
