A luxury rail tour could offer the perfect way to take in India's most spectacular sights.
Those looking to pack their bags, book their travel insurance and head off to exotic climes this year might want to consider a luxury rail tour of India.
Holidaymakers can step aboard the country's first private luxury train, the Indian Maharaja, at a variety of destinations across India between November 18th and April 14th and set off for the journey of a lifetime.
The tour takes in UNESCO World Heritage sites across the nation, including the 2,000-year-old Ajanta Caves, the now-deserted former Moghul capital city Fatehpur Sikri and the Taj Mahal.
Travellers will also be able to visit the 17th century Amber Fort in Jaipur, see the beautiful palace of Udaipur and take a safari through Ranthambore National Park.
Journeying from location to location will likely be a treat in itself, as the Indian Maharaja features lavish bedroom carriages complete with en-suite facilities, a butler for each coach and even an onboard spa.
Holidaymakers wanting to see southern India in particular detail can also step aboard the Golden Chariot, a train that offers week-long tours of the region that used to be home to some of the country's most famous maharajas.
