Now there are three more reasons to choose luxury trains in India when you plan to travel to India next. Indian Holiday Pvt. Ltd. https://www.indianholiday.com is offering attractive discounts to luxury travelers in India. Now guests could save up to 50% on your companion’s ticket if you choose one of these three luxury trains: Maharajas’ Express, Deccan Odyssey, and Royal Rajasthan on Wheels.
Whereas Maharajas Express with flat 50%, leads the pack, the Deccan Odyssey and the Royal Rajasthan on Wheels follow closely with 25% and 15% respectively on select departure dates.
Luxury train travel in India has come a long way since the introduction of the Palace on Wheels in 1982. With Deccan Odyssey voted Asia’s Best Luxury Train and Maharajas’ Express now voted World’s Leading Luxury Train for three consecutive years, luxury train travel is growing rapidly with clientele from across the world. Whereas Western Europe and the USA contribute more than 70% of the clientele, the Gulf countries and CIS are catching up fast.
“Luxury trains in India are registering higher occupancy rates each year. But many guests are very much interested in luxury trains but are unable to do so due to high tariffs,” said Mr. Rahul Sharma, Managing Director, Indian Holiday Pvt. Ltd.
“Quite interestingly, we also receive quite a few client requests asking whether they could take one of these train journeys for a shorter duration.” He added. The itineraries offered by these trains last for seven days, but looking into these requests, the train operators have indeed come up with shorter journeys. These short journeys normally include the golden triangle comprising Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra with the addition – in some cases – of a national park like Ranthambore and Keoladeo Ghana National Park in Bharatpur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the last few years, luxury in India has been growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 25%. The luxury market in India with a CAGR of 12.8% is growing faster and higher than the other BRIC nations, which is also the highest of the 25 countries explored said a report by Amadeus.
As per a recent study by Lonely Planet, luxury travelers are now looking for ‘Curated Experiences’ and ‘Experiential Encounters.’ This is where luxury trains in India come in with their tastefully crafted itinerary which not only includes visits to some of the most prominent tourist destinations in India but also an array of local and offbeat experiences. These experiences may include dining in a palace with the family of maharajas recounting their days of yore to visit villages where tribes have turned environmentalists 100s of years ago.
While Maharajas’ Express and Deccan Odyssey offer 5 and 6 itineraries across India, Royal Rajasthan on Wheels offers tours across destinations in Rajasthan along with Agra, Khajuraho, and Varanasi, three of the major extensions to the popular golden triangle tour of India. Details of this exclusive offer by IHPL are available on their exclusive train travel portal www.indianluxurytrains.com.
