The Darjeeling Mail, The Decan Odyssey
Listed under Train Journeys in Mumbai, India.
The incomparable Taj Mahal, sacred Varanasi and the fortified, pink city of Jaipur roll past the windows of the Viceroy of India from Mumbai in a huge semi-circular trail to the lush tea plantations of Darjeeling. The sumptuous, patterned Indian-style interior and the (mostly) Indian food allow the culture to seep into the carriages themselves, so the country becomes more than just a series of flickering images.
