Rail is the only way to travel in India, and we sample the British Raj retreat of Shimla, high up in the Shivalik Himalayas, before tasting the lifestyle of the Maharajas on board the Palace on Wheels, amidst palaces, hilltop forts and the astonishing Taj Mahal.

Tour Manager Comments

I love going on the Palace on Wheels Tour and enjoy taking people to experience the endlessly fascinating country that makes India one of the most rewarding travel destinations in the World. Why do I love it?....for all sorts of reasons.

India is a country of contrasts and on the Palace on Wheels tour, you see it all; the opulent forts and palaces of the maharajas and the poverty on the streets of the cities. After Shimla, in the Himalayas you travel to the desert of Rajhastan. After the great cities, discover the calm and peace of Ranthambore Tiger Reserve and Keodola Bird Reserve.

The tour takes you through the history and culture of India from the ancient Mogul Rulers through to the British Raj, and and on to modern, bustling India. And wherever you go, always the smiles and warm welcome of our Indian hosts.
