Maharajas Express Luxury Train – Why Choose It?

If you’re someone who appreciates heritage, comfort, and a little bit (or a lot!) of luxury while traveling, I wanted to share my thoughts on the Maharajas Express—India’s most luxurious train.

After researching quietly, a bit quietly, for an upcoming trip, I’ve realized there’s so much more to the Maharajas Express Train than just elegant décor. Here's why I think it’s worth considering:

Multiple Maharaja Express Journeys to Choose From

There are four main Maharajas Express Itinerary, each covering different regions and attractions. You can pick from:

  • The Indian Panorama
  • The Indian Splendour
  • The Heritage of India
  • Treasures of India
Each Maharajas Express route offers something different—from the Taj Mahal and Ranthambore tiger safaris to spiritual stops like Varanasi. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned India traveler, there’s a journey for you.

Royal-Style Living Onboard

The Maharajas' Express cabins are something else—rich interiors, modern amenities, en-suite bathrooms, and butler service 24/7. There are different cabin classes, including the jaw-dropping Presidential Suite that spans an entire carriage!

Top-Notch Maharajas' Express Facilities

Think two fine-dining restaurants, a stylish lounge bar, curated onboard entertainment, and personalized service throughout. It’s like being in a five-star hotel on rails.

Maharajas Express Ticket Price – Is It Justified?

Yes, it’s expensive. Maharajas Express ticket price range from around $3,500 to $20,000+ per person, depending on the itinerary and cabin class. But when you factor in accommodation, meals, drinks, excursions, and entry fees—it starts to make sense, especially for a bucket-list experience.

Iconic Maharajas' Express Destinations

From Jaipur’s palaces and Agra’s Taj Mahal to Udaipur’s lakes and Mumbai’s coastal charm, each journey features some of India’s most iconic and historic locations.

Final Thoughts:
If you're looking for a luxurious, hassle-free way to explore India with a deep cultural connection, the Maharaja Express Journeys might be the perfect fit. It’s pricey, but for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it seems worth it!
