Maharajas Express
Palace rail through Rajasthan and beyond
The Maharajas' Express distils India's Golden Triangle and Rajasthan into week-long circuits from Delhi—suites named after gemstones, regional thali dinners, and off-train visits to Taj Mahal sunrise, Ranthambore tigers, and Jaipur palaces with guides who handle visa-length queues.
Four route variants—Heritage, Treasures, Indian Panorama, and Indian Splendor—let Alpha Travel match season, festival calendars, and client mobility to the right departure. The train suits travellers who want palace hotels and monument density without nightly packing; butlers and bar cars keep social hours civilized after dusty fort afternoons.
