What can be more thrilling than exploring and
discovering India onboard the Palace-on-Wheels,
the Royal Orient or the Toy Trains that are the
pride of the Indian Railways - the largest passenger
train service in the world. Make your vacations
in India an experience to cherish.
The
Palace-on-Wheels lives by its name and
is no less than a fort on the move. The
lavish lifestyle, the facilities, the
décor, the comfort and the style
have made the first tourist train of India
the most sought after. Covering the Golden
Triangle circuit of Delhi-Agra-Jaipur,
the journey has been designed with a royal
touch for tourists on vacation in India.
The welcoming elephants, garlands, music
and dance can never fail to enchant any
of the tourists.
Tourists
may even opt for a voyage onboard the Royal Orient
during their India vacations. Offering both style
and comfort, the Royal Orient chugs along the
rainbow of cities trotted by the royal extravagance
of the bygone era - Delhi, Chittaurgarh, Junagarh/Veraval,
Somnath/Sasan, Gir/Ahmedpur, Mandvi/Palitana/
Sarkhej, Ahmedabad and Jaipur. The range of stations
varies from placid, ancient temples, a stunning
sea resort and exotic wild life. The memories
will for sure be as golden as the sand.
Besides
the royal trains, the toy trains of India have
attracted many a tourists. The ride on the train
with a 4500 kilometers track chugs through the
popular hill stations of the country like Shimal,
Darjeeling, Ooty/ Udagamandalam or Ootacamund
and Matheran. The toy trains are called so because
of the narrow gauge railway lines they ride on.
The
wondrous miniature of rail engineering that
offers the most scenic beauties of the Himalayas
from Kalka to Shimla and another from Jal
Pai Guri to Darjeeling. Nature seems to
be at its best with the pace of the train
and the rhythm of life. The Blue Mountain
Railway vacation of India, through the tea
and coffee plantations, dense forests and
up to the mountains of the Nilgiri region
in South India, is as refreshing as the
topography itself.
Life
is a combination
of the body,
the sences,
the mind and
the atma (spirit
or the soul).
They can't
be separated
from each
other, and
none can be
neglected.
Ayurveda -
the sciences
of life is
the knowledge
of this association
and of how
to maintain
it as long
as possible.
