Care to join the royal guests of the Maharajas’ Express? Yes, there are no passengers on board the train, only royal guests. Each has a personal butler for round the clock service. Each “owns” a plush suite or cabin for a week. Each has, at his or her disposal, two royal dining cars, a mini library, a bar, and a boutique. What more can one ask for when traveling in a train?
This is what luxury tours are made of…and the Maharaja train is one step ahead in luxury. The unmatched staff hospitality, the on-board water filtration plant, the on-board paramedic service, the air ambulance service, and differently-themed dining cars and suites of the train make it different from other luxury trains.
The train’s Presidential Suite is the striking feature of the train. Spanning one whole carriage, the suite is the gem of all suites. No wonder it is called Navratna or Nine Gems!
A smart choice
People interested in heritage tours to Agra and other places can choose to book a suite or cabin in the Maharaja train. It operates between October and April and this is a great time to roam around North India. It is winter in India…and the country’s winter is rather pleasant. With the warm winter sun soothing your body from head to toe, you can head to various forts, palaces, gardens, and other places of interest.
The train’s tours are meticulously planned. The idea is to let royal guests catch a glimpse of what the real India is. It is not as impoverished and dirty as shown by the world media. India has many faces, one of them being the royal side that can make many of the world’s riches bow to it.
Star attraction
Tourism in Agra is booming thanks to the Taj Mahal. One of the Seven Wonders of the World is situated here and has put the city on the global tourist map. Apart from this, the city boasts of a magnificent Agra Fort, an intriguing Fatehpur Sikri, and lots of other spell-binding places.
