Maharajas' Express
The Maharajas' Express is a jewel among trains, with carriages named for the precious stones of the Maharajas themselves. Guests can travel the rail tracks of India from Delhi to Agra to Jaipur, stopping off at beautiful ancient temples, exploring caves and jungles, spotting rare wildlife and shopping in bustling bazaars. There are a range of tours, from three nights and four days to seven nights and eight days, to suit all types of vacationers. Aboard this train spanning nearly half a mile is accommodation worthy of an Indian monarch, with four cabin options, all boasting panoramic windows for stunning views of the Indian countryside. Traditional hospitality is observed in the train’s two restaurants in which diners enjoy sparkling service and delicious cuisine. Socializing with cocktails takes place in the Safari Bar, while quieter, intimate drinks, or games and books can be enjoyed in the Rajah Lounge.
