Palaces on rails
Travel like a Maharaja aboard India's legendary trains — private cabins, fine dining, butlers and guided excursions to forts, palaces and tiger reserves, all in one unhurried journey.
Why a luxury train
India's luxury trains combine the comfort of a five-star hotel with the romance of rail travel. You sleep in a private cabin with an en-suite bathroom while the train moves between cities overnight, and spend your days on guided tours with every ticket, meal and transfer arranged.
We book all four of India's premier luxury trains and plan the days before and after your journey — airport transfers, hotels, private guides and extensions — so the whole trip runs as one.
