Maharajas’ Express

Step aboard the Maharajas’ Express, India’s most awarded luxury train, and enter a world of royal charm, timeless heritage, and unmatched elegance. Launched in 2010 by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), this regal train redefines luxury travel — from its plush interiors and intricate detailing to its curated journeys across India.

Covering over 12 iconic destinations in North-West and Central India, the Maharajas’ Express offers four beautifully crafted itineraries. From Rajasthan’s golden sands and majestic forts to the cultural richness of Madhya Pradesh, every route reveals India’s vibrant traditions, grand architecture, bustling bazaars, and delectable cuisines — all viewed from your royal seat on rails.

Globally acclaimed, the Maharajas’ Express was voted the World’s Leading Luxury Train five years in a row (2012–2017) at the World Travel Awards, and also secured first runner-up at Condé Nast Traveller’s Readers’ Choice Awards in 2011. This isn’t just a journey — it’s a celebration of India’s elegance and legacy.
