    Seeing India by Luxury Train The Maharajas' Express has spacious cabins, fine food and private performances By ROGER TOLL Jan. 10, 2014 10:54 a.m. ET ON TRACK | The Maharajas' Express stopped at a station. Maharajas Express India WHEN WE STEPPED off the train at the small station of Pachora, 250 miles northeast of Mumbai, Lord Ganesha was waiting. A man costumed as the Hindu god was carried by turbaned attendants and accompanied by folk dancers who whirled to ancient stringed instruments, reedy horns and hand drums. Ganesha sported a pinkish elephant head, complete with trunk and oversize ears, but he blessed us with a very human hand. Locals must have felt like the circus had arrived in town, for despite the early hour, they had come to watch the welcome arranged specially for us. One of the train's dining cars; Maharajas Express India It was appropriate to be greeted by the god of good fortune: We were a lucky group— passengers taking a 2,000-mile journey from Mumbai to New Delhi on the Maharajas' Express, one of the most luxurious trains in the world. The train's name conjures images of hilltop forts, bejeweled scimitars and armies on camels and elephants— for good reason. The maharajas ("great kings") ruled India's hundreds of princely states from as early as the 1600s to the mid-20th century. In Rajasthan, in particular, the warrior-kings built impressive cities they named for themselves: Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaipur. Their heirs, allying themselves with the British Raj, continued a sumptuous style of living until Indian independence in 1947.

  • Taken for a Ride Report
    Taken for a ride The conditions for elephants used in tourism in Asia Preface We have been moving the world to protect animals for more than 50 years. Currently working in more than 50 countries and on six continents, we are a truly global organisation. Protecting the world’s wildlife from exploitation and cruelty is central to our work. The Wildlife – not entertainers campaign aims to end the suffering of hundreds of thousands of wild animals used and abused in the tourism entertainment industry. The strength of the campaign is in building a movement to protect wildlife. Travel companies and tourists are at the forefront of taking action for elephants, and other wild animals. Moving the travel industry In 2010 TUI Nederland became the first tour operator to stop all sales and promotion of venues offering elephant rides and shows. It was soon followed by several other operators including Intrepid Travel who, in 2013, was first to stop such sales and promotions globally. By early 2017, more than 160 travel companies had made similar commitments and now offer elephant-friendly tourism activities. TripAdvisor announced in 2016 that it would end the sale of tickets for wildlife experiences where tourists come into direct contact with captive wild animals, including elephant riding. This decision was in response to 550,000 people taking action with us to demand that the company stop profiting from the world’s cruellest wildlife attractions. Yet these changes are only the start. There is much more to be done to save elephants and other wild animals from suffering in the name of entertainment.
