Follow in the footsteps of maharajas and emperors to experience the dazzling wonders of India's regal Golden Triangle.
View astounding Mughal and Rajput palaces including the iconic Taj Mahal and the ethereal Amber Fort, as well as the spiritual Jama Masjid mosque and home of 'Father of the Nation' Mahatma Gandhi, as we familiarise ourselves with the dazzling cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.
Unwind in the former colonial summer capital of Shimla, perched on the ridges of the Himalayan foothills, and search for noble Bengal tigers in their natural habitat on game drives in the evocative wilderness of Ranthambore National Park.

A fantastic tour- we saw so many mindblowing things from tigers to the Taj Mahal - everything was well organised and our accommodation was excellent- it’s hard going at times with some early starts but the rewards are worth it- would 100% recommend this trip and company.

A fabulous trip which we will remember for a very long time to come. Every stop was magical and our hotels were all of a very high standard. It was a large group but we made some great friends and I am sure we will stay in touch. Our local guide, Dilip, was really good. Knowledgeable and interesting. Our GRJ guide was lovely, if a little vague at times! We will never forget the tigers we saw, the beautiful Taj Mahal and the stunning views over the Hymalaya. A trip worth doing.

Experienced so much. Patricia, our UK guide worked hard in the background to ensure everything went according to plan. Dilip, our Indian Guide, was a fountain of knowledge. And we saw three Tigers close up!

A truly unforgettable and memorable trip to India. The places we visited, the superb organisation and the quality of the hotels we stayed in were of the highest quality. Our fantastic trip was all made possible by our superb local guide Dilip, our tour manager Patricia Isaac, Great Rail Journeys and last, but not least, the fantastic group of people we went with. This holiday is highly recommended, super value for money and excellent value for money. Thank you everyone Chris & Ingrid Carr
