Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has rolled out a rail-based weekend travel package from November 21 that allows fast-paced travellers to zip through the Golden Triangle — the three historic and vibrant cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur — in three Shatabdi Express trains. The two-day rail tour package to Agra and Jaipur from Delhi is an initiative in which train tickets in three Shatabdi Express have been linked to offer a comfortable and hassle-free travel schedule to those travellers for whom time is precious.
“This is one of the innovative travel packages which eminently suits those travellers who are planning a short-duration getaway. The package allows them to experience the magnificence of some of the most famous monuments in India,” said IRCTC chairman and managing director AK Manocha.
Shatabdi trains are amongst the fastest trains on the Indian railway network and provide air-conditioned travel with onboard meals.
The package, slated for every Saturday and Sunday, will be beginning from November 21. The one night/two days Golden Triangle package begins with guests boarding the Delhi-Habibganj Shatabdi early morning at New Delhi station and de-boarding at Agra.
