Maharaja's Express: The most luxurious train in the world
Maharaja's Express - an initiative of Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) - is the latest luxury train to be introduced in India
Often called "the Orient Express of the Orient," the Maharajas' Express is a recent entrant to the luxury train market.
The decor attempts to emulate the golden days of the Raj when Maharajas traveled with opulence and pomp in ostentatious carriages.
Such colonial splendor has been recreated to the full and the week-long journey also immerses travelers in the spirit of the era with gin and tonic sundowners, elephant rides and a chance to chat with erstwhile royal families.
It's an enjoyable three-night ride, but passengers should beware of some hidden extras such as camera and video fees or porter charges.
From $3,850 per person
