Maharaja Express Rail Goes South!
Without posing a threat to other luxury
trains, the Maharaja Express rail network spreads its wings to South India. Its
two meticulously planned tours viz; Southern Sojourn and Southern Jewels take
you to some of the most breath taking locations, including World Heritage
Sites.
Maharajas’ Express started its
south-bound tours in September 2017. The tours cover place like Mumbai, Goa,
Hampi, Cochin, Mysore, Mahabalipuram, Chettinad, Kumarakom, Chennai,
Trivandrum, and other places. The train had conducted a Monsoon Special tour to
South India in July the same year.
Since the train arrived on the tracks in
March 2010, it has been conducting tours of North India, North West India, and
Central India. Tours like Gems of India, Treasures of India, Heritage of India,
Indian Splendor, and Indian Panorama provide travelers a spectacular experience
in luxury holidays in this part of the world. The train is operated by the
Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC).
Now, with the advent of South India
tours, tourists will get an opportunity to explore South India, which is quite
a contrast to North India in terms of culture, language, and habits of people. Yet,
you cannot compare both parts of India, as both carry unique charm. These are
two diverse worlds united into one nation.
Maharaja
Express rail service has been giving tourists from various parts of India
and the world unmatched royal tours. The train’s clientele usually consists of
foreign tourists. They are charmed by the country’s history and heritage and
wish to get an essence of the bygone royal era of this land. The train
beautifully showcases India’s maharaja lifestyle in its décor, hospitality, and
tour arrangements.
While doing so, it also keeps up with
the modern times. That’s why you can find wi-fi internet service, 24x7
paramedic and air ambulance facilities, electronic safes and individual climate
control systems in each suite and cabin, on-board water filtration plant,
pneumatic hydraulic suspension system for a smoother ride, CCTV cameras, and
other such hi-tech facilities on the train. The amalgamation of ancient royalty
and modern technology is captivating.
The Maharaja train symbolizes royal
lifestyle of Indian kings and queens and, at the same time, is an epitome of
modern luxury.
Train Maharaja redefines rail travel in
India. Earlier, Indian Railways was infamous for overcrowded trains, chaotic
platforms, unhygienic food, dirty trains, hassling journeys, and other such
“nightmares.” Today, the railway scene is undergoing a paradigm shift in each
aspect.
The arrival of luxury trains on Indian
rail tracks has added an element of interest and a desire to take rail as a
means of transportation.
The icing on the cake happened with the
arrival of the Maharajas’ Express. It emerged as the most luxurious and
expensive train of India. It has put India under the spotlight of tourism. The
tourism industry, no doubt, has received a boost and, now, with the Maharaja
train taking a tour of the South, the Southern Railways is ready to welcome
another wave of luxury on the tracks.
Are you ready for the luxury?
