As captivating as it can be confusing, India can be a difficult place to navigate. Accompanied by experienced guides, we can sit back and enjoy the ride as we traverse the jungles, deserts and plateaux of Northern India. Six railway journeys, including a steam train on one of India’s UNESCO World Heritage Mountain Railways, take us from Delhi into the jewelled palaces of the Golden Triangle, 'jungle book' national park of Ranthambore and Himalayan foothills of spiritual Shimla - covering off ancient forts, colourful bazaars and tiger safaris along the way.
