7. Unique Destination

Although Mumbai is an important tourist destination, Maharashtra is considered to be a hidden gem. There are numerous attractions in Maharashtra, which are usually overlooked by most of the tour agents. Deccan Odyssey has managed to bring in the right blend of iconic attractions and hidden gems.

Top destinations of Maharashtra covered by Deccan Odyssey are Aurangabad, Pench Tiger Reserve, Tadoba National Park, Ajanta and Ellora caves, Kolhapur, Ratnagiri, Nasik, and others.

The same goes for Rajasthan too. Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaisalmer do not define Rajasthan. The itineraries try to incorporate many hidden gems into the trip to create a unique experience. After all, vacation is all about getting a new experience.

8. The Other Face of Stereotypes

For long, Varanasi has been considered the historic and spiritual epitome of India. Deccan Odyssey has broken that stereotype and introduced Nasik to travelers. Jaipur, Udaipur, Delhi, Mumbai and other top destinations were usually considered as shopping destinations.

However, Deccan Odyssey will introduce you to the humble streets of Kolhapur to buy unique souvenirs.

Vacation is always best when you get to spend it with people of similar taste. With Deccan Odyssey, you are grouped with people who decided to choose the train and the itinerary just like you.

However, Deccan Odyssey covers every local activity and makes you feel like one with the locals. To ease you into this style of activity, they have guides who are versed in the local language and English.

Are you looking forward to a Deccan Odyssey vacation? Make sure to pre-book your tickets at least two to three months before your departure date. The demand for certain months and itineraries would be very high. Not all itineraries focus on Maharashtra or Rajasthan, and also not all itineraries would suit every traveler. Thus, read through all the itineraries and then choose the desired one.
