There is no doubt that the Maharaja Express train offers an unforgettable train journey in India. Inside the train is a world of royalty and sheer pamper. Red carpet welcome, high teas, royal dining, round the clock personal butlers, royal transportation, champagne breakfasts, and more – this is what makes a Maharaja tour.
The train helps you discover India’s bygone era of regality, romance, and opulence. There is a stark contrast in this Asian country. On one hand, you can see chaotic platforms, sleeper class of trains, and overcrowded compartments with common lives struggling to breathe. On the other hand, you could be in the Maharaja train and see the most luxurious side of India.
