About
Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities of the world, also known as the city of lights, welcomes guests of the Maharajas Express, the world's leading luxury train. Fortified by a delightfully hearty breakfast on board the Varanasi Tour Luxury Train, guests leave for Sarnath, about 10 kilometers away, to view the ruins and the museum. This is where Buddha delivered his first sermon. Guests admire the collection of sculptures in the museum, dating back to the 3rd century. Next on the itinerary of the Heritage tours Varanasi is a visit to the Silk weaving center. Benaras silk is known throughout the world and guests may be tempted by the beautiful gold and silver threaded sarees to buy one as a sourvenir. Then it is time for a decidedly royal lunch at the Taj Gateway Hotel after which guests take a walk through the old city, treading on stones that are thousands of years old, as part of the Heritage tours of Varanasi.After lunch guests proceed to the banks of the River Ganges, enjoy a wonderful boat ride that gives them a chance to take in life along the banks and by evening, they enjoy a visual treat, the Evening Aarti.
