Maharaja Train: Some Of The Life’s Best Moments Happen Here

Lovely landscapes of India hardly give you time to grimace over petty things of life. Grand forts and majestic monuments make you forget small worries and tensions. Vibrant culture, bustling market places, and superb cuisines make you feel blessed to be living in or visiting a place like India.

And if all of the above is done through the Maharaja train, your life takes an enriching turn. Your days after the tour will be filled with excitement while narrating your train journey to people back home. Don’t complain if some of them refuse to believe things like personal butler and gold-rimmed cutlery on board the train. Not their fault. It does seem surreal.

You ought to be in the train to know how it feels to be a maharaja or a maharani and “own” a “kingdom on wheels.”

Indeed, traveling in the Maharajas’ Express ushers in a breeze of thrill and bliss in your life. As you recall your warm welcome at the platform your face lights up with a smile. Those steps that you walked on the red carpet; the touch of delicate fresh flower garland around your neck; the brilliant red “teeka” on your forehead – all these make for fine nostalgia even years after you traveled in the train.

The Maharaja train leaves a deep imprint in your mind. Also, images of magnificent forts like Mehrangarh Fort of Jodhpur, Jal Mahal of Jaipur, desert beauty of Bikaner, majestic elephants in the Elephant Polo Match, and more linger on with you for life.

It is impossible to forget the lavish champagne breakfast atop Khema with Taj Mahal as the backdrop. Your memories will forever be fresh of the wildlife safari at Ranthambore National Park, exquisite sculptures and paintings of Ajanta Caves, strolling in the “ghost city” of Fatehpur Sikri, and the unmatched Taj Mahal.

Once you undergo Maharajas Express tour, your perception of India changes. It is not just an over-populated, chaotic, dusty country with too many poor people and cows on roads.

It is a place that harbors the biggest royal residence of the world, Umaid Bhawan Palace, where a regal family still resides. It is a place where millions of people gather at one place to worship a sacred river and create one of the most spectacular events in the world – the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi. These are just two examples of the striking things India harbors.

More such wonderful things and places are in India. The country is hot and happening in the tourism front. Ultra modern and ancient – both thrive here. At times, you can even find a fusion of both. The Maharaja train is a fine example of this. Its décor resembles the bygone royal era of Indian maharajas and, at the same time, it offers wi-fi connectivity on board!

Out of the many things that hold the potential to enrich your life, a trip in the Maharaja train is one of them. Tours are open till April and then will reopen from September. The train’s 2018-19 schedules are ready. It is time to choose a tour and book a space.
