Want To Be The Indian Maharaja? Here’s Your Chance!

by John Bale travel

India is famous for her kings and queens. Their lavish lifestyles intrigue the world. The typical Indian maharaja harbors tales of such gallantry and glory that it can make some of the top billionaires of today seem humble. No wonder Indian luxury trains endeavor to copy the lifestyle and the ambience of the ‘maharaja era’ of India.

About luxury trains

They are an epitome of luxury. They offer a surreal experience to travelers. Words do not suffice while describing luxury trains like the Maharajas’ Express. You ought to be inside such a train and experience how it feels to be treated like a king or a queen – with 24x7 personal butlers at your service, life sees to take a giant leap towards luxury.

Time stands still. You never want to wish for the moment to end.

Train for modern-age maharajas

The Maharaja train is a train for all those who feel and wish to live life of a maharaja or a maharani. For one whole week you will be transported to a world of extreme luxury and pamper.

The welcome

Passengers of the Maharajas’ Express are “crowned” king or queen right at the platform. As you set your foot on the carpeted platform with luxury dreams in your eyes, you are welcomed with aplomb. A scarlet “vermilion” teeka adorns your forehead and a garland of fresh flowers finds its place around your beautiful or handsome neck.

The background is filled with music. The well-mannered porter handles your luggage. The majestically done train with its sleek 24 coaches awaits your “kingly” or “queenly” presence abroad.

The tour

Depending on the tour itinerary you choose, you either get to experience the desert charm of Rajasthan, along with its royal glory, or you witness one of the spectacular events – the Ganga Aarti – at the Dashashwamedh Ghat of Varanasi. The holiness of the place leaves you all drained of sins and all soaked in purity.

All the North Indian tours have one common feature: they consist of a visit to the Golden Triangle tourist circuit. No North Indian tour is complete without a trip to the three cities that form the Golden Triangle – Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. They carry the charm of historic India. They depict Indian culture and heritage with such richness that a visit here gives you the essence of the Indian maharaja era.

No less are the South Indian tours for they showcase the Indian land through its spell binding natural beauty and the vastness of oceans.

Temples are everywhere in India. The great Hindu epics – Mahabharata and Ramayana – are beautifully described through impeccable artistry of temples. The Godly legends and tales in India are intriguing enough to even attract an atheist to Indian temples!
