India: Birds & Culture on the Maharajas' Express

India is a world unto itself. Exquisite architectural wonders, an exotic multi-layered culture, and a panoply of wildlife and landscapes amaze—even astonish—first-time visitors. VENT has operated tours to India for decades. All of our trips are special, but perhaps none are as captivating or comprehensive as our tours of India by train. Combining the immemorial richness of Indian history and culture with superb birding and wildlife—all while riding aboard a luxury train—presents a travel opportunity like no other. Traveling aboard the beautiful Maharajas’ Express, we’ll visit some of India’s most revered locations: Mumbai; the princely cities of Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaipur; the national parks of Ranthambore and Bharatpur where exquisite birding and a chance to see the mighty Tiger await; the storied Taj Mahal; and many other sights.

To learn more about this remarkable trip, please join Victor Emanuel, Barry Lyon, Brian Gibbons and Max Breckenridge on May 25 for an updated encore presentation of India: Birds & Culture on the Maharajas’ Express, a webinar that first aired in August 2022. Through interpretation and a collection of images, Victor and his colleagues will impart the thrill of a fascinating trip across India by train. Joining Victor and Barry as a special guest is India native Raj Singh, longtime operator of our India tours and an accomplished ornithologist.

“When I went to India twenty years ago, I fell in love with the incredible nature, culture, scenery, and the people. I have made four wonderful train trips in India. The trip on the Maharajas’ Express is one of the best trips of my life. I urge you to watch this webinar to learn more about this amazing journey.” – Victor Emanuel
