Seven nights from Delhi to the Taj Mahal at sunrise, the tigers of Ranthambore, the forts of Jaipur and Jodhpur, and dinner in the dunes of the Thar, with a butler who has served the same royal family for thirty years.

  • The Taj Mahal at sunrise
  • Tigers at Ranthambore
  • A butler for every suite

Handled for you

  • Bags collected at home and unpacked before you arrive
  • A concierge on call, day and night, until you are home
  • Your steward briefed on your tastes; a car waiting at every station

Best time to go

October to March

October to March, when Rajasthan is warm by day and cool at night. The train does not run through the heat of summer or the monsoon.
