One of the most luxurious hotels the world has no "definite place of residence". He rides on rails from one Indian wonder of the world to another - day after day. And all because it is also one of the the most expensive and luxurious trains in the world … And it is called Maharaja Express, that is, the train of princes.
The Indian railway itself is not young: it has been helping Indians to travel to each other through impassable swamps, jungles and mountains for more than a century and a half. but the most luxurious train appeared in the country not at all during the time of the Maharajas, but more recently - in 2010. To become a passenger of this "hotel on wheels", you will have to shell out from 800 dollars a day (if you are a poor maharajah) to 900 and even 1400 dollars a day for a wealthier maharajah. The presidential carriage will cost $ 2,500. As you can see, the prices are the same as in good five star hotels.
What do they offer for this money, in addition to the measured sound of wheels on old rails? Mahogany parquet, carved decorations, luxurious oriental, but English-style colonial-style interior. And then there are air conditioners, LCD TVs, DVD players, direct dial telephone numbers, the Internet, and even an electronic safe. Food and drinks are free. You can also take your car with you in a special garage car.
This luxury train hotel runs on four routes: Princely India, Royal India, Classical India and Heavenly India. From the Taj Mahal to the Khajuraho temple complex, you can get to know almost all of India's mainstream landmarks by following these routes. Here is just one bad thing: it’s probably not easy to force yourself to get out of the carriage, which already has everything.
