  1. Delhi

    Before boarding your train, you’ll enjoy a city tour of the key attractions, including a must-visit to Gandi’s House where you’ll learn all about the incredible life and times of the icon. We’ll also have time for a thrilling rickshaw ride which is not to be missed, and visit Humayun’s Tomb.

  2. Agra

    You’ll wake up in Agra ready for an incredible visit to the Taj Mahal. This magnificent mausoleum was built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz – and it’s one of the world’s most glorious sights. You’ll also discover Agra Fort – another fantastic example of Mughal architecture.

  3. Ranthambore

    Ranthambore National Park is one of India's best reserves to spot the elusive tiger. After a brief village walk, we will then head into the jungle for a safari. As well as looking out for tigers, there's a chance of seeing deer, boar and an array of birdlife too including the partridge, quail, eagle and woodpecker.

  4. Jaipur

    The stunning pink city of Jaipur is an eclectic mix of colourful architecture and bustling bazaars. The energy of this magical city has to be seen to be believed – as well as being a beautiful destination to encounter, you’ll also delve into some of the history of its many forts and palaces.

  5. Udaipur
