A train which almost half a mile long redefines luxury, comfort, and heritage. It recreates the Lifestyle of an ancient princely era.
Maharaja Express Train has many routes covering different
cities on each route.
I took the route which was for seven nights. It started from
Delhi, the moment I entered the train I
felt like entering a Palace and felt myself like a Maharaja. The main cities in my trip were Delhi - Agra
- Ranthambore - Jaipur - Bikaner - Jodhpur - Udaipur - Balasinor - Mumbai.
The coach has all the basic amenities with the royal touch
to serve your needs. The train stops at a particular station and we are given
rough guidelines about the place we are visiting. The first place we visited
was Taj Mahal. The beauty of the Taj Mahal was unbeatable. We came back to the
train.
The train has 23 coaches that can accommodate 88 guests. The
cabins of the train have been segregated into Deluxe Cabins (20), Junior Suites
(18), Suites (4) and Presidential Suite (1). All of them are Spacious in size,
each cabin is well-equipped with every world-class facility.The train also has a
lounge, a bar, and 2 dining cars.
The next stop was Jaipur. Jaipur is the city of palaces but
how about traveling in the palace. Well, I was on one of it. We were served all
the meals on Train. The restaurant Peacock Restaurant - Mayur Mahal and Rang
Mahal served lavish dining throughout.
The kitchen served a continental menu as well as an Indian
food. It was a great feeling being served with all different cuisines in a
royal way. They served all the options of Indian food and even the style of
serving was also followed. There was so much to explore on the train that I
never felt like stopping and visiting the city.
We had 80% guests from out of India. I found the train
little costly but the experience was worth every penny spent. If the budget is the problem then they had 3
nights package too. There are 5 Pan India journey, consist of different routes.
