The Deccan Odyssey is one of the most luxurious trains on the subcontinent. It has comfortable cabins, lounges, and even an elegant spa car. Thus, passengers can explore Rajasthan in the comfort of a tour aboard the Darjeeling Mail or venture to the western and southern coasts of India aboard the Madras Mail.
"The Deccan Odyssey…is a class act. The staff is excellent; very capable and ready to please. The food is incredible, all cooked fresh on board. The excursions are well-planned and guided," reviewed Owen Hardy, founder of IRT (The Society of International Railway Travelers).
