The Deccan Odyssey
feature among the top Indian luxury trains for its amazing range of luxuries that are fit for royalty.
Maharashtra Wild Trail Journey looks interesting. Cheaper than many other companies. One of the finest luxury trains of India, Deccan Odyssey, offers a well-planned itinerary of 8 days that takes you to the neighborhoods of Maharashtra, the charming Western Ghats, the majestic Deccan region and the varied stretch of the central region of India. Some of the highlights of the tour include a visit to the world heritage sites of Ajanta and Ellora caves, a visit to the wine capital of India-Nashik, a rendezvous with the wildlife at Pench and Tadoba and more. During the tour, enjoy world-class comforts, a royal treatment and sumptuous food while you are on-board the Deccan Odyssey.
https://www.transindus.co.uk/india/tailor-made-tours/deccan-odyssey-maharashtra-wild-trail/ Experience the unique landscapes, wildlife and wondrous historic sites of northern Maharashtra in regal style, travelling on one of the world’s most opulent rail journeys. The undisputed highlights of our ‘Deccan Odyssey’ tour are the great cave temples of Ellora and Ajanta, but the trip also offers the chance to sight tigers in the wild and experience the unique atmosphere of an authentic Hindu pilgrimage site – all in the space of a week. The tour begins with a two-night stay at the legendary Taj Mahal Hotel overlooking Mumbai harbour and the Gateway of India. Thereafter, you’ll sleep and eat on a specially constructed luxury train, with your cabin and gourmet meals served by liveried staff in a restaurant car, as the rugged scenery of the Deccan slips past your window. The intention of this tour is to re-create the romantic feel of a royal ‘Shikhar’ expedition, as undertaken by the rulers of the region’s princely states in British times. Today’s rolling stock incorporates more mod cons and comforts, including air-conditioning, a gym and a spa, but the landscape of the northern Deccan remains as epic as it did a century ago, and a vivid sense of remoteness endures in the forests of Pench and Tadoba, where tiger and leopard roam free.
Bamboo Travel; A rival to the legendary Palace on Wheels, but instead focussing on the rich scenery, historical treasures, and cultural delights of southern and central India. Ripe with romance, adventure and style, each deluxe rail tour with the Deccan Odyssey is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This particular itinerary focuses on the historical treasures of Maharashtra and Karnataka, taking the awesome Ajanta and Ellora caves, the breath-taking ruins of Hampi, and the Islamic heritage sites of Bijapur. A stop is also made at Hyderabad - a bustling, dazzling city and home to finest biryani on the planet – and in between one can enjoy an ever-changing landscape, slipping between tropical jungle, verdant hills, and rocky lunar plains. Our version of this itinerary begins with a couple of nights in Mumbai and then finishes kicking back on the beach down in laidback Kerala.
