Exploring India by a Luxury train is one of the best ways to travel within India in less amount of time. Although the concept of luxurious travel in India was always there, but it catered to just a small fraction of the population which included the royal families of princely states and other foreign dignitaries. The India Luxury Trains journey is mostly dominated now by foreign travelers who like to see the beautiful countryside in the cozy environment of a train. There are various trains available that will take you through different parts of India and run for different durations and budgets. Some of the most popular luxury trains are Maharaja Express, Palace of Wheels, Deccan Odyssey and Golden Chariot. Go on a luxury India train journey and experience Indian Royal hospitality and unique experiences.
Palace on Wheels is the oldest luxury train in India. It covers Rajasthan and Northern region of India. Maharaja Express is the newest luxury train in India and has various routes like Indian Panorama, Indian Splendour, Heritage of India and Treasures of India. The route duration range from 7 Days to 4 Days and cover various parts of North and Central India. Treasures of India is a 4 day duration journey focusing on Golden Triangle of India. Deccan Odyssey train focus on western part of India and has various journeys through states of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. Most of the journeys of Deccan Odyssey originate in Mumbai. Golden Chariot focuses on Southern India and has journeys through the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Goa.
The main advantage of traveling in these trains is that you get to see many highlights of the region in a shorter duration of time. You also get to experience the Royal Hospitality and Food of the regions. On the flip side the India luxury train journeys may get extremely hectic as you cover a larger region in very short duration of time. You get to stay for only a few hours in important sites which may feel rushed and give incomplete sense of the destination. Also, there is no component of flexibility as the schedule is fixed and in a group. In order to have best of both worlds, Bespoke India Holidays recommends to have a part land and part train journey.

When I set out on the planning of our trip to India it was with some trepidation. I had travelled there alone several times and knew the likely scenarios which would drive my husband crazy. Harry has travelled to most places in the world but never India. Searching on-line I came across ‘Bespoke Travel’; there was a ring about it that led me to believe this company could work well for us.
We were met at N. Delhi airport by our first representative who steered through the terminal to our waiting car. From thereon in every airport we encountered and every new location where we alighted a Bespoke rep was waiting for us. Similarly any air or train travel we encountered, a Rep would collect us from the hotel and deliver us through to security and boarding. This took so much stress out of our trip by allowing us to relax in confidence that all would be taken care of. Jay had booked one leg of our tour on the Royal Rajasthan on Wheels.
Our guides all along the way were excellent. A few of them were among the best either of us have encountered internationally.
Bespoke India Holidays surpassed my expectations in the experience of our ease of travel in India. Jay had paced the trip well for us providing quiet and comfortable hotels the way. Consequently I can highly recommend Bespoke’s ability to deliver a great experience for you in India.
My mother and I have just returned from a 12 day trip to India. I was a little hesitant to organise it through I company I had not heard of before and organise everything over the web. It was amazing! Fantastic service, tour guides, cars, drivers, everything. All arranged smoothly, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our travel buddy from bespoke was Jay and he was very efficient and very accommodating with all arrangements. Would highly recommend them. Suzette Cassie, Australia
I put together a two week trip very quickly with Bespoke’s help. I told Jay what i wanted to do, the kinds of experiences I was looking for and they types of hotels i like. I feel like he did a good job of listening to what I wanted – and put together a great trip for me. The drivers and guides were also very good. I was always able to get a hold of someone when needed and felt very taken care of – which was important to me being a woman traveling alone.
