The second day begins with a visit to the impressive Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site showcasing the grandeur of the Mughal Empire.

The afternoon safari offers guests the chance to spot:

Day Three – Jaipur, The Pink City

The Maharajas’ Express arrives in the royal city of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan.

Known as the Pink City, Jaipur is famous for its magnificent forts, colourful markets and regal architecture.

The day’s excursion includes a visit to the spectacular Amber Fort, where grand courtyards, mirror palaces and impressive gateways transport visitors back to the era of Rajasthan’s Maharajas.

Guests also have opportunities to experience Jaipur’s vibrant culture through local crafts, traditional art and optional shopping experiences.
