My wife and I travelled from Delhi to Agra (for the Fort and Taj Mahal), Ranthambore (for the Tiger Reserve), Jaipur (for the Fort and City Palace), returning to Delhi. We have travelled on theĀ  the Rovos Rail in South Africa so can compare the three. The Maharaja’s Express is a wonderful way to see India, As much of the travel is at night, time is not wasted on long car journeys. Some daytime travel ensures you experience India – many people reside alongside the tracks, so you see how they live, as well as the contrast of beautiful countryside. The train is very comfortable and the service extraordinary. The staff cannot do enough for you.
