Without the railway we can debate whether or not a country such as India would exist. It was the rail network that unified the subcontinent into the largest democracy on earth. Today trains are still a vital and vibrant part of Indian society and culture. If you want to experience luxury train travel then there is no better destination.

It is often said that one lifetime is not enough time to truly explore and get a feel for India. Around every corner there is a sight of amazement and wonder. There are very few places in the world were you can see Mercedes and BMW cars bustling for position on the roads with camels and elephants.

If in the past you have always been wary of a trip to the subcontinent due to concerns over hygiene and safety you can put your worries behind you by booking one of the luxurious train trips which are available in almost every part of the country. You will be treated like a Maharajah!

There is no denying that India is a huge country. The diversity of the culture and land cannot be compared elsewhere. Within the country there are as many 800 different dialects!
