Imagine being welcomed by folk dancers amid beats of drums, stringed instruments and reedy horns as you embark on a royal journey.

Each cabin is equipped with individual climate control, eco-friendly attached toilet and direct dial telephone facility among others.

Guests feast off fine china and crisp linens in the two dining cars as the luxury train weaves through India’s popular tourist towns. The staff, efficient and discreet, seems almost to outnumber the guests, which are no more than 88 at full capacity. In the morning, expect valets to brought tea to your cabins.
