Great Value Indian Rail Journey for Solo Travellers
This scenic and historic tour of northern India is exclusively for solo travellers. Take six train journeys, including a Himalayan steam train and air-conditioned express trains, to explore the most beautiful scenery and historic sites in India. Discover India’s ‘Golden Triangle’ comprising three of the most vibrant cities of north-west India – Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, capital of the ancient state of Rajasthan. Each has its own fascinating history, rich cultural heritage and wealth of sights, sounds and experiences waiting to be discovered. Next, head further north to Amritsar – famed for its stunning Golden Temple, Chandigarh, and Shimla in the Himalayan foothills with its colonial British connections.
During this 14-night holiday you’ll also travel by road, visit markets and bazaars, mosques and palaces, and watch for tigers on safari. Marvel at the Taj Mahal at dawn, visit the famous Golden Temple, watch for tigers in Ranthambore National Park and travel by steam train on one of India’s UNESCO World Heritage Mountain Railways. Apart from the iconic ‘toy train’ mountain railway, look forward to travelling in air-conditioned carriages and staying in locally rated 4-star hotels. At the end of the day look forward to relaxing over dinner in convivial company – perfect for sharing new experiences with your travelling companions.
