Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has rolled out a two-day travel package that allows travellers to zip through the Golden Triangle — the three historic cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur — in 3 Shatabdi Express trains.
“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 A.K. 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 deboarding at Agra.
The package is priced at Rs. 9,444 per person on a double occupancy basis, and does not include the entrance fees at various places during the tour.
The package can be booked online on IRCTC’s tourism portal, www.irctctourism.com and through phone by dialling1800110139 (toll-free number).
