A Glimpse of India by Train

Seven-day luxury train journey through India's Golden Triangle on Maharajas' Express

Transindus operates this seven-day luxury train journey from Delhi to Jaipur aboard the Maharajas' Express, one of India's most prestigious heritage trains. The tour is anchored by three nights on the train, preceded by one night at a five-star hotel in Delhi and framed by international flights from the UK. You are met on arrival by a Transindus representative and travel throughout with expert English-speaking guides. The itinerary balances daily sightseeing with time aboard the train: you visit Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal on Day 3, rise early on Day 4 to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise before heading to Ranthambore National Park for a wildlife safari in search of tiger, then spend Day 5 exploring Jaipur's Amber Fort and Hawa Mahal before the train heads toward the Thar Desert. Onboard, a private butler serves you throughout the day, and dinner is accompanied by drinks with the Train Manager and crew. All road transfers, entrance fees, breakfast daily, and internal flights are included. This tour suits luxury-seekers and repeat rail travellers who value high-end comfort, escorted sightseeing, and the romance of heritage train travel.
