Promoted by IRCTC, the catering wing of the Indian Railways, the Maharajas Express has been voted as the best royal train of India. 

It is perhaps the only royal train to offer 5 itineraries to cover destinations as far apart as Mumbai and Khajuraho over periods stretching from a week or so to two weeks and more.

The five luxury tour circuits are The Heritage of India, Gems of India, The Indian Panorama, Treasures of India and The Indian Splendour. 

The fantastic train is about half a mile long and has two restaurants offering royal cuisine, a lounge a bar and other recreational facilities as well as spa and boutique.

Guests have the option of selecting the Presidential suite, express suite, express junior suite and deluxe cabins.

The unique feature of Maharajas Express is that each guest is given royal treatment from the point of welcome to the point of departure, with a personal attendant assigned, much in the same way as royalty used to have personal attendants. 

The Maharajas Express is the acme of perfection in Maharaja style travel and it is also the most expensive but gives the most cherished and memorable experience of all.
