The Royal experience during your luxury train holidays
While Bikaner or Jodhpur are set amidst desert locations and you have a typically royal Rajasthan experience of dancers, colorful festivities in palace courtyards, Balasinor towards the south, in Gujarat, is where you will be welcomed by royalty. Balasinor is surrounded by sylvan lush forests and you dine on traditional Gujarati cuisine. The Maharajas’ Express brings to life a royal lifestyle and at each stop you have the pleasure of being part of a royal entourage. It is quite possible you will enjoy an elephant polo match in the company of royals at Jaipur, the fabled pink city. At Sawai Madhopur you set off on a royal safari at the Ranthambore Park, one of the last remaining homes of the famed tiger. It goes beyond the five star experiences; it is gloriously regal and you wonder what it would be like to live an entire life like that.
