So, next time on your travel to India, do consider enjoying this awesome luxurious train
Train
@hilson Yes its a train but having all the facilities like a 5-star
OMG! That's so expensive to ride on. No wonder it is called the Palace on Wheels.
I realised that different places have different sight seeing time frame.
I also realised the most expensive coach has the same price throughout the year. So if you are really wealthy, you can choose whenever you want to travel.
