INDIA: A LAND OF COLOURFUL PEOPLE, VIBRANT FESTIVALS, opulent palaces, stunning forts. And we’re gonna do it in style!

Royal Train: We’ll enjoy seven pampered days on the deluxe sleeper-train, Royal Rajasthan On Wheels … waited on hand-&-foot and spoilt rotten with magnificent interiors, sumptuous meals, expensive wines.

Royal Sites: Rajasthan is India’s most popular tourist region, and we’ll get to explore it for ourselves: magnificent cities, stunning lakes, gigantic citadels, 1000-year-old temples, sacred rivers, wild tiger-reserves and bird sanctuaries.

Southern Wonders: After leaving the train, we’ll head south – where we’ll witness tea-pickers picking tea … ride an elephant or two … go small-boat cruising through lush lagoons … and enjoy a relaxing pick-me-up in a luxury sandy-beach resort.

There’s no other place on earth quite like India! And there’ll be no other MIDLIFE MADNESS ADVENTURE quite like this one!
