Railways evoke the warmest memories for travelers, especially when it comes to comfortable trains rather than commuter trains.

There are even special routes for railway lovers, where not just comfortable, but luxurious trains – hotels on wheels – run.

One such example is the Maharaja Express, which was launched in India.

It looks like this hotel on wheels trip could be called the most expensive not only in India but in the whole world.

This is a tourist train, formed from 23 carriages. It is unlikely that summer residents ride on it, because the train has a spa carriage, a fitness carriage and a carriage with a conference hall.

In addition, there are two restaurants where chefs prepare Indian and Western cuisine.

There is a bar, something like a casino and just a hall for viewing the surroundings.

It is noteworthy that the railways in India are quite busy.

But this train is not designed to transport passengers from point A to point B. Its main purpose is to attract tourists.

The journey takes 7-8 days. You can choose to buy tickets for a deluxe compartment or a Presidential Suite.

However, the cost of a 7-day trip in the Presidential Suite carriage exceeds 45 thousand dollars.
