When you close your eyes and fancy a fabulous Indian sojourn of your dreams, what do you see? We can't speak for you, but we conjured up images of mythical sculptures, sun-drenched beaches, lush green fields, whitewashed buildings, awe-inspiring fortresses and vast expanses of impossibly-blue Arabian Sea - all escorted with a dash of royalty. Call it luck or whatever, but that's exactly what awaits you on the fascinating ride onboard the Deccan Odyssey!

Maharashtra may be home to ancient architectural wonders - the spellbinding Ajanta and Ellora caves among them - but there's even more history, culture and opulence to be explored in this wonderland. Discover the magical land of Maharashtra and Goa in style with Deccan Odyssey. The imperial ride is one of the most luxurious trains in the world often compared with world class Orient Express of Europe and Blue Train of South Africa.

Deccan Odyssey is a joint venture of Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation and Indian Railways. There are 11 passenger carriages, 2 presidential suite cars, 1 conference car, 2 restaurant cars, 1 spa car, 1 bar car and 1 staff carriage aboard this luxury train. The passenger cars have 4 coupes each accommodating 8 passengers each. The Presidential suites are 4 in numbers, that is, 2 in each car. The prime amenities include TV, intercom, art deco interiors, attached washrooms, wardrobes, channel music, foreign exchange, doctor on call and much more.

The Deccan Odyssey showcases the best of Maharashtra: its barefoot beauty of Konkan coast, its art and culture, its wildlife, its heritage as well as local culture and cuisine. The opulent ride traverses through the whispering valleys, lush green expanses, echoing tunnels, and urban landscape showcasing the variegated diverse colors of Maharashtra and the gorgeous Goa. The weeklong journey starts its journey from Mumbai - the capital city of Maharashtra state and financial hub of the country - and weaves across Sindhudurg, Tarkarli, Goa, Vasco, Kolhapur, Aurangabad, Ellora, Ajanta and Nashik.

Explore the refinement of a luxury cruise where journey is more exciting than destination. Step aboard the royal odyssey and you'll step back in time into a more gracious, more splendid and elegant age of travel.
