India is a land of diversity, and that in its own may be an understatement if said in the most generalized manner. India has the diversity of breath-taking beautiful terrains, climates, people and cultures and cuisines and the best way to traverse through the nerves of India is through a train ride.

And what better than to choose a luxury train? In all luxury trains there are a few common elements – impeccable hospitality, a close glimpse into the royal charms of the bygone era, grand red carpet welcome, butler service throughout the journey, delectable cuisine and the most comfortable stay experience.

So, here are our 10 reasons why India is best discovered through luxury trains:

1. Hospitality Meant for Royals

India is a country that inherently believes in the phrase “atithi devo bhava” i.e. guest is god. So, every Indian goes out of their way to help visitors especially those from the overseas.

The same is apparent in the hospitality and management of the luxury train rides. Every need of the guests is taken care of with utmost urgency, sensitivity and grace.
