Illustration of The Maharajas' Express - Treasures of India

Railbookers operates this 7-day, 6-night escorted tour through northern India, starting and ending in Delhi. Two nights in Delhi open the trip with a full-day city tour of Old and New Delhi, including a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk and a photo stop at the Red Fort. Travelers then board the Maharajas' Express at Safdarjung station for three nights, traveling to Agra for a visit to the Taj Mahal and an early morning at Agra Fort, then to Ranthambore National Park for a game drive, and on to Jaipur for a tour of the Amber Fort and dinner at the Rambagh Palace Hotel. The train returns to Delhi for a final hotel night before the trip ends. As a fully escorted tour with meals and excursions included throughout, this suits travelers who want a short but complete introduction to the Maharajas' Express without committing to a longer route.
