Train journeys can be quite tedious at
times. When you imagine an Indian train usually the image that immediately
flashes in the mind is that of a crowded coach with passengers crammed up in
the backdrop of a dusty landscape, which can be viewed through the open
windows. The rattling sound of moving train makes for a good melody and lulls
many a traveler into sleep, as they wait eagerly for the arrival of their
destinations.
All this may seem like a norm in Indian
train travel; but have you traveled in the worlds best train yet?
This is no regular train. Your ears
won’t drown in the rattling sound. You won’t have to bear the dusty view. There
is no crowd.
Traveling in this train can prove to be
a perfect honeymoon trip for a couple, a great hangout for a bunch of friends, and
an unmatched trip with pure solitude for a single. It can be one of the most
cherished gifts you can give to your family or to yourselves.
We are talking about a journey on board
the Maharajas’ Express. This luxury train has attained the status of being the
worlds best train. It rubs shoulders with the Orient Express of Europe that is
regarded as the epitome of luxury in train travel.
