Ffestiniog Travel General Manager, Maria Cook said; “We are delighted to be returning to India on a very special tour, first devised 20 years ago, and in a special year for India's railways. It is a privilege to take travellers to ride the most exceptional railways that served the former British Hill Stations of Shimla, Darjeeling and Udhagamandalam (Ooty).
“This is one of our favourite rail holidays and our long-standing working relations with our Indian travel partners enable us to make it an unforgettable rail touring experience.”
The tour departs on February 12, 2023, with prices from £6,250 per person including return flights, all rail journeys, tranfers, and excursions, and bed-and-breakfast accommodation with select meals throughout.
