India’s first privately managed luxury train is to start operating between Mumbai and Delhi next month.
Weekly departures start on November 18 and run until April 14 on the Indian Maharaja – Deccan Odyssey.
The train comprises 21 coaches with 11 passenger cars allowing for eight people per coach in four compartments, each with a choice of king-size or twin beds and en-suite shower and restroom.
There are two cars with two presidential suites each with a bedroom and living room and butler service.
Dining is available in two restaurant cars with Taj Hotels and Palaces as the official on board partner, offering continental and Indian cuisine.
Other facilities include a lounge and bar, a ‘spa‘ carriage with steam bath, business centre and the option to have private drivers and guides.
The journey takes a picturesque route not offered by other Indian trains through less explored areas of Maharashtra and on to Rajasthan.
An eight night escorted group tour on the Indian Maharaja – Deccan Odyssey leads in at £2,895 per person with Great Railway Journeys.
This includes scheduled flights from Heathrow to Mumbai and Delhi to London, seven nights on board the Indian Maharaja Deccan Odyssey in a deluxe cabin, including all meals, one night’s hotel accommodation with breakfast and dinner in Delhi, excursions, the services of a tour manager, transfers in India, flight taxes and charges.
