Indian Subcontinent Rail Journeys

Introduction

Travel into the corners of India or connect major cities on a great railway journey in India. Home to ancient toy trains, high speed trains and a hospital on wheels, the railways of India are exciting, diverse ways to discover the country and the best way to travel if you want a real feel for how it works.

Whether you travel from Goa to Karnataka or hug the coast from Goa to Mumbai on the Mandovi Express, you'll see varied topography, sunlit paddy fields lined with coconut and mango trees and small villages. Alternatively take the Island Express from Tamil Nadu to Kerala to explore this lush, jungle expanse.

Darjeeling's Toy Train is a tiny steam train that inches from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling, trundling through dense forests, curving around tea plantations and bringing you close to Kanchenjunga, all at just 12kmph, as it arrives in the hill stations. Once in West Bengal, ride the Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express and travel through awe-inspiring landscapes as you rumble onwards to Assam. Escape the heat and climb from Haryana to Himachal Pradesh and the cool setting of Shimla on the Himalayan Queen, famous for its 102 tunnels, 87 bridges and 900 curves.

The elegant Indian Maharaja Deccan Odyssey connects Mumbai and Delhi via Rajasthan. The Palace on Wheels once ruled the railways and is still the closest way to travel like the Rajput kings once did, in style and comfort.

These are just a handful of the options available though. You can also tailor-make your Indian Subcontinent great railway journey by adding a city stay, beach holiday, wildlife holiday or other excursion to your itinerary; talk to a destination specialist to see what we can do for you.
