There are few better ways to see the majesty of India’s beautifully diverse landscapes than on board the lavish Maharajas’ Express, a train embodying opulence and indulgence.
Winning the “World’s Leading Luxury Train” award for seven years in a row from 2012 to 2018, the Maharajas’ Express redefines rail travel, as seen in its motto, ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’, which literally translated means ‘Guest is equivalent to God’.
