Indian Odyssey by Luxury Rail

13-day Delhi-to-Mumbai luxury rail journey aboard the Deccan Odyssey

APT runs this 13-day small-group tour between Delhi and Mumbai, built around seven nights aboard the Deccan Odyssey train. Travelers spend the opening days in Delhi, including an exclusive dinner at the Bukhari Residence, hereditary Shahi Imams of Jama Masjid since 1656, before boarding the train on day 3 for a journey that stops in Sawai Madhopur, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Vadodara and Aurangabad. Along the way, a safari at Ranthambore National Park offers a chance to spot the Royal Bengal tiger, and a visit to Agra brings travelers to the Taj Mahal. After disembarking in Mumbai on day 10, the tour closes with city time and a UNESCO-listed stop at the Elephanta Caves. An APT Tour Director accompanies the group throughout, with sightseeing, meals and transfers arranged, and numbers are held to 24 guests. The pace suits travelers who want India's landmarks handled for them without switching hotels each night on the rail segment.
