8 Days 7 Nights
For a country as vast as India, long journeys of two weeks or more are typically unavoidable, but this can be reduced by half aboard the regal Maharajas’ Express, designed after the opulence of Indian royalties.
Starting from the iconic Golden Triangle, this journey then ventures inland into the Heart of India. Marvel at the under-visited gems such as Orchha monuments and the Kama Sutra-inspired temples of Khajuraho. Finally, we conclude at India’s spiritual hub in Varanasi.
