With affordable packages, the new trains will add to the bliss of luxury train travel in India by enabling tourists to bask in the beauty of sprawling deserts and timeless heritage of India.<\/p>\n

Unlike super luxury trains, the new semi-luxury trains can be afforded by many tourists.

The travel on \u201cHeritage Circuit\u201d will culminate at Khajuraho<\/a><\/span>, a UNESCO world heritage site.<\/strong> Unlike the temples of Varanasi, Khajuraho temples are famous for erotic sculpture displaying human sexuality in multiple different forms from liberal perspectives. The legends of Khajuraho\u2019s erotic art will take you back to the times when eroticism was an art in India.<\/p>\n

The \u2018heritage\u2019 part of the travel by two new luxury trains in India promises to be a life-enriching experience.
