The world’s most expensive train journey takes people on a massive loop around a single nation.
The Maharajas’ Express, as the name suggests, is an Indian luxury line that gives its passengers an unrivalled view of the nation.
People can pick from multiple routes that give different views and tell different stories of the stunning, culturally rich nation.
Breaks aboard the equally beautiful carriages range from just a few days to a week and come with different levels of comfort.
But most visitors considering the experience should keep one thing in mind: their wallets.
Trips aboard the express train come in four different routes that take between three and six nights.
They include:
The longest route of the bunch is the Indian Splendour, which covers 2,724 kilometres (1,692 miles).
The shortest is the Treasures of India, which covers less than half of that distance – 860 kilometres (534 miles).
People can complete their trips staying in different levels of style, with four cabins and suites on offer, each costing thousands of pounds.
The Maharajas’ Express offers four types of cabins and suites, starting with the cheapest option, the deluxe cabin.
Prices vary by trip, but the network’s landmark six-night, seven-day Heritage of India package is the most expensive, with deluxe cabins priced at $8,130 (£6,382) each.
Junior suites cost $10,390 (£8,157), suites $14,490 (£11,376) and Presidential suites a whopping $24,890 (£19,541).
