The inside track – Luxury Train Holidays India

It’s easy to understand the growing popularity of luxury holidays by train when you step aboard India’s world-famous Maharajas’ Express or Palace on Wheels trains. You are instantly transported to a bygone era of elegance and style while enjoying all the latest state of the art facilities you might expect from India’s premier train service.  At Barefoot Traveller, we can offer the inside track on the best rail tours in India giving you the chance to see the life and soul of this amazing country from the comfort of your very own window on the world.

We particularly recommend the Maharajas’ Express rail tours of Northern India which showcase the very best of what India has to offer. You’ll take in many of the stunning archaeological, sacred and historical sites as well some off the beaten track experiences that are only accessible by train.

The luxury holidays by train on offer include 8 days travelling between Mumbai and Delhi. You’ll see the beauty of the changing landscapes, from the regal forts and palaces of Rajasthan to the wild countryside of the National Parks. Starting in style with a red-carpet welcome and a valet on hand throughout your trip, the opulent surroundings of the Maharajas’ express sets the tone for an exotic journey visiting the royal cities of Rajasthan, including the Amber Fort at Jaipur, the City Palace and Crystal Gallery in Udaipur and Jodhpur’s magnificent fort. There’s also a champagne breakfast before an unforgettable visit to the Taj Mahal, the chance to ride camels in the Bikaner sand dunes, watching tigers in Ranthambore National Park and time to catch a few chukkas of Elephant Polo in Jaipur.

You’ll be travelling and dining in style all the way on a luxury holiday by train. All meals on board in one of two fine dining restaurants are included and there are sumptuous lunches at Durbar Hall in Udaipur, a champagne lunch at the Elephant Polo in Jaipur and a champagne breakfast to remember in Agra.
