India’s first cross-country luxury train the Maharaja Express will make its maiden journey from Mumbai to Delhi on March 6, stringing together subcontinental highlights from the iconic Taj Mahal to remote habitats of tigers.

The new 23-car train, which was inspired by the lavish cars of India’s colonial-era princes, has two ornate restaurants with decorative vaulted ceilings, an observation lounge and 43 sleeper rooms that start at roughly 110 square feet.

The train, which caters to luxury travelers seeking to explore the vast country with style and ease, arrives at a new station every morning for off-rail excursions. The eight-day Mumbai to Delhi trip travels through western India with sightseeing stops at Udaipur palaces, an elephant polo match near Jaipur and a tiger safari through Ranthambore National Park.

Passengers aboard the seven-day Delhi-to-Kolkata trip visit dozens of sites in eastern Indian including the temples of Khajuraho, the tigers at Bandhavgarh National Park and the bathers of the Ganges River. All itineraries begin or end with a visit to the Taj Mahal.

The train will operate September through April. Rates start at $5,600 a person for a seven-day trip, including excursions.
