Maharajas' Express Presidential Suite & Oasis Tents
Arrive in Delhi and transfer to your luxury suite. Settle into the royal pace over a private welcome orientation.
Delhi is a palimpsest of seven historic cities — Mughal grandeur, bazaar energy and Lutyens' imperial geometry in one day's arc.

Spend the day exploring the historical treasures of Delhi, from Qutub Minar to the grand colonial architecture of Lutyens.
Old and New Delhi are separate cities that happen to share an airport; give each its own morning and the capital makes sense.

Board the Maharajas' Express at Safdarjung Station. Be welcomed like a royal sovereign and check into your sprawling cabin suite as the train pulls away.
The Imperial's corridors, hung with five thousand colonial-era works, are a museum that serves breakfast — leave time for them.

Arrive in the Blue City of Jodhpur. Explore Mehrangarh Fort towering above the houses, and enjoy private cocktails with members of the royal family.
Mehrangarh stands four hundred feet above a city painted a hundred shades of blue — Kipling called it the work of giants and angels, and five centuries later it still intimidates beautifully.

Disembark for a private detour into the rural sanctuary of Nimaj. Check into your custom luxury canvas camp positioned by a peaceful lake.
Chhatrasagar is a nineteenth-century reservoir with tents on its dam wall — a hunting-camp conceit reborn as one of Rajasthan's most graceful stays, run by the family whose great-grandfather built the lake.

Take a quiet morning walk through local farms and villages, meeting weavers and farmers. Settle into the slow rhythm of the desert.
The birdlife is the resident entertainment: cranes, pelicans and flamingos working the water while breakfast is served on the embankment.

Drive back to Jodhpur to re-board the train, rolling towards Jaipur. Settle back into your luxury train cabin.
Jaipur carries its royal legacy in working order — Amber still commands its hilltop, the City Palace still houses a royal family, and the Hawa Mahal's 953 windows still catch the morning light as intended in 1799.

Explore Jaipur's architectural highlights, including the Amer Fort, City Palace, and the wind facade of Hawa Mahal.
This is a city of living workshops: block printers, gem cutters, miniature painters and puppeteers whose trades predate the city itself.

Discover Jaipur's arts and crafts, meeting leading local textile and jewellery designers. Spend the afternoon at leisure.
Rambagh was the Maharaja's own residence until 1957 — returning to the hotel is an event, not an interlude.

Arrive in Agra. Visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise before it opens to the general public. Later, explore the imposing Agra Fort.
Agra exists on an itinerary for one reason, and the reason justifies everything: the Taj at dawn, before the day's heat and crowds, is architecture's most complete sentence.

Travel to Khajuraho, nestled in Central India. Explore the famous UNESCO-listed temples covered in intricate carvings of human life and divinity.
Khajuraho's Chandela temples are medieval India's most virtuosic carving — divine, celestial and human life rendered in sandstone with equal, unembarrassed mastery.

Explore the lesser-visited Eastern Group of temples and meet local stone carvers keeping ancient temple-building traditions alive.
The temples' celebrated sensuality is a fraction of the whole; the full narrative bands hold gods, wars, musicians and daily life in exuberant procession.

A sunrise boat cruise down the Ganges, observing pilgrims performing morning prayers. In the afternoon, visit Sarnath where Buddha preached his first sermon.
The oldest continuously inhabited city on earth rewards preparation of the spirit more than the schedule; arrive with questions rather than checklists.
