Situated in the southern part of Asia, India is called a traveler’s delight; and why not so, the country welcomes its guests with vibrant colors, mesmerizing traditions, breathtaking scenic views, beautiful monuments and above all heartwarming hospitality traditions. The country has left no stone unturned to lure global nomads. Speaking of the luxury travel means in India would probably be incomplete without a mentioning the Maharajas’ Express, the latest addition in the group of luxury tourist trains in India. At present, the train runs five different journeys that cover diverse regions of the country including historical cities, craggy wild lands, gods’ holy abodes, well known national parks, dazzling metro cities and tranquility surrounded countryside.
Among the five journeys of the Maharajas’ Express, the weeklong sojourn - Indian Panorama is the most preferred one as the itinerary serves adventure, spirituality, wilderness, lavishness and royalty all on the same platter. The journey begins and concludes at Delhi, the capital and the gateway to India. Let us have a quick look at the highlights of the 168 hours of pan-Indian sojourn:-
1. Jaipur, a feast for the eyes and for the tongue: On the second day of Indian Panorama tour, the train enters Jaipur, the Kingdom of the brave Rajputs. The city is the capital of Rajasthan and serves as one of the prime tourist destinations in India. Apart from visiting different palaces and forts, the Jaipur tour includes an exhibition elephant polo match, specially organized for the Maharajas’ Express guests. After this, enjoy a royal lunch at an exclusive venue in Jaipur. The lunch menu includes various Indian and continental delicacies along with some signature Rajasthani varieties.
2. Spine shivering moments at Ranthambore: Situated in the Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan, Ranthambore National Park is famous for sheltering the majestic Bengal Tigers. Amid the park, there is a century old citadel that still sings the saga of an era of royalty and chivalry. The surrounding area of the park has a green belt of vegetation and a number of water ponds. While a glimpse of the Bengal Tiger is solely a matter of luck, you can see several other wild dwellers including leopard, nilgai, wild boar, sambar, hyena, sloth bear and chital. It is also home to wide variety of trees, plants, birds and reptiles.
3. Romantic breakfast overlooking the Taj Mahal: Explore the mesmerizing beauty of the white marbled Taj Mahal under the dew drenched rays of the morning sun. Built by the fifth Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan to immortalize his love for Empress Mumtaj Mahal, the marble mausoleum is recognized by UNESCO a World Heritage Site and has been laurelled as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. This memorable drive to the Taj Mahal becomes a picture perfect memory with a refreshing breakfast at Taj Khema, overlooking the Taj Mahal.
4. Explore the beauty of Khajuraho Temples: Appreciated worldwide for its architectural brilliance and magnificent stone carvings, the Khajuraho Group of Temples is not just a tourist destination, but a history in itself. These temples were built around 1000 years ago by the Chandela rulers. The Maharaja’s Express gives its guests a chance to get closer to this glorious piece of medieval India and help them unravel the most amazing facets of the Khajuraho temples.
5. Plunge into the tranquility of Varanasi: In the last leg of the Indian Panorama journey, the Maharajas’ Express reaches Varanasi, the oldest living city on the face of earth. The city is dotted with innumerable temples. It is said that Varanasi is the land where experience and discovery reach the ultimate bliss. This holy city hosts millions of tourists along with pilgrims every year.

restaurants, a safari bar and a lounge car. No less than a five star hotel on
