Experience Shared by the Traveller
My office organized a tour to India and it was made compulsory for all colleagues of my department to undertake the tour. I initially was much reluctant as I already had toured Rajasthan once boarding the Royal Orient. I thought that Fairy Queen must be inferior as compared to the luxury of the Royal Orient train tour. But, as the tour was compulsory so I had no option and started for it with my other colleagues. The first day was a stay in Delhi and we went out for sightseeing of Delhi. Later we boarded the Fairy Queen and started off this marvelous journey. The Fairy Queen Train Tour reminisced and brought to live my past experiences of the Royal Orient Tour. The luxury of the train was no less than the royal orient. My opinion about the Fairy Queen Train Tour completely changed being on-board the Fairy Queen. So, I once again got the chance to rejoice the fun of traveling under the ambiance of a royal luxurious train. Besides, the thrill of being with the wild became a reality with this tour. The Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary, is resplendent with all kinds of wild animals. It is real fun to see the wild life of Sariska so closely. I never dared to get down off the jeep, as the jungle is just too dangerous to do so. One of my colleagues once got down of the jeep and was left with a snake near his feet. The tour guides, however, managed the situation. I should also point out that The Fairy Queen Train Tour is just too short and is basically meant for weekend tourists. The tourists sometimes have to leave with un satiated desires, of either undertaking more jeep safaris in Sariska or spending more time in the luxury of the train. But, then at the same time, there are tourists who have time constraints. So, on either ways there are conflicting demands. But overall the tour is very enthusiastic and lively at every moment.
