Tour Itinerary

On arrival, after meet & assist services, transfer to hotel.

O/N stay in Hotel at Delhi.

Early morning, transfer to aboard the Maharajas Express Luxury Train at New Delhi's Safdarjung Railway Station.

Then proceed towards Agra.

Agra is famous as being home to one of the Seven Wonders of the World - the Taj Mahal. The architectural splendour of the mausoleums, the fort and the palaces is vivid reminder of the opulence of the legendary Mughal Empire, of which Agra was the capital in the 16th and early 17th centuries. While its significance as a political centre ended with the transfer of the capital to Delhi in 1634 by Shah Jahan, its architectural wealth has secured its place on the international map. A pleasant town with a comparatively slow pace, Agra is known for its superb inlay work on marble and soapstone by craftsmen who are descendants of those who worked under the Mughals. The city is also famous for its carpets, gold thread embroidery and leather shoes.

Later tour of the Agra Fort.

Emperor Akbar constructed the fortress along the banks of the Yamuna River in 1565 and grandson Shah Jahan, who used his favourite building material – White Marble, made further additions. Built primarily as a military defence structure, that got transformed into a Palace inside by Shah Jahan, that later became his gilded prison after his son Aurangzeb seized power in 1658. The dogleg design is a unique aspect of the fortress, which was meant to confuse attackers who made it past the first line of defence – crocodile-infested moat.

Brunch & Dinner on-board. Overnight at Agra on Luxury Train The Maharajas Express.

Morning grand tour to the magnificent Taj Mahal followed by breakfast at an exclusive venue.

A Jewel of Muslim Art in India built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaj Mahal, today renowned as the best wonder of the world. In 1631 construction began with 20,000 masters from India and Central Asia. Specialists were brought in from as far away as Europe to produce the exquisite marble screens and inlay work using precious stones.

Train proceeds to Sawai Madhopur.

On-board Lunch followed by Safari in the Ranthambore Tiger Sanctuary.

Tiger safaris traditionally take place at dawn and dusk when the big cats are on the move, hunting. In the morning, after tea or coffee and biscuits, you depart on your first tiger safari of the day.

On your return, take breakfast and a few hours of leisure walking the grounds, or napping. In the late afternoon embark on a second safari to catch the best time of the evening to view tigers and photograph the park.
