The Presidential Suite is booked through the winter
A palace on rails: carriages painted by miniaturists from Jaipur, a dining car hung with chandeliers and a Presidential Suite that takes up a whole carriage. Seven nights from Delhi to the Taj Mahal at sunrise, the tigers of Ranthambore, the forts of Jaipur and Jodhpur, and dinner in the dunes of the Thar, with a butler who has served the same royal family for thirty years.
