Most Luxurious And Expensive Trains Of India: Make 2017 The ‘Maharaja’ Year!

Some of the most luxurious and expensive trains of India have changed the very face of Indian railways. One of them is the Maharajas’ Express. True to its name, the train reminds passengers of the bygone era of Indian Emperors and their kingdoms. India may become hi-tech, yet the essence of royalty stays in this land of kings and queens.

Asia’s most expensive luxury train

Traveling in the Maharaja train is an extra ordinary experience. For those not used to such luxury in their daily lives, this could be a surreal experience. Every inch of the train is soaked in opulence; every moment spent on board is full of pamper and comfort.

You may or may not experience such treatment in your daily life, but the train truly makes you a king or a queen. From its interiors, butler service, cuisine, and facilities to its ambience, choice of wines, and tour plans, you can get the feel of pure Indian royalty.

It’s not a train; it’s a ‘kingdom’

This 14-carriage train carries in it sheer luxury and comfort. Each carriage depicts Indian royal lifestyle. The riches of India are best experienced when spending a few days and nights on this ‘luxury on wheels.’

The train features one Presidential Suite, 4 Suites, 18 Junior Suites, and 20 Deluxe Cabins. The Presidential Suite is the pride of this train. Named Navratna, it truly is a gem of suites. It could put a classic 5-star suite to shame. The term “Navratna” means “Nine Gems” and you can actually feel the sparkle and the sophistication of the gems in this suite.

Well, the other suites are not far behind. They, too, are designed lavishly and each is named after a gemstone.

“Rang Mahal” and “Mayur Mahal” – think these are some palaces or tourist spots? To your delight, these are names of dining cars of the Maharajas’ Express! Firstly, they leave passengers spellbound through their grand décor. Secondly, they leave diners with a memorable experience in dining through their carefully-planned lip-smacking menus, which feature diverse cuisines. A hearty meal can leave even the most stone-hearted all smiling and full of warmth!

There is something in the train that leaves its passengers bathed in sheer bliss. Even when the tour is over, you cannot overcome the delightful feeling that lingers on with you for a long time. If your pocket allows, you would certainly want to come again on board the Maharajas’ Express. If not, the memories stay with you fresh and alive forever. You need to have a severe case of amnesia to forget such a grand experience!

So, if you are planning a holiday in North West India or Central India and wish to make your holiday special, book a suite in the Maharajas’ Express. The train operates between October and April. The schedule dates for 2017-18 tours are out. Each tour plan features a trip to the majestic Taj Mahal in Agra. The train also provides special offers. There are early bird offers too.

Why not make 2017 a memorable year by traveling in one of the most luxurious and expensive trains of India?
