Board the Deccan Odyssey at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, where drummers and dancers welcome you onto the platform. Settle into your cabin and explore the train’s handsome interiors before dinner is served as the journey turns north toward Vadodara.
Meals: Dinner 

Breakfast is taken early, ahead of a round at the Gaekwad Baroda Golf Club — Gujarat’s oldest private course, laid out within the grounds of the historic Laxmi Vilas Palace, where fairways bend past ancient neem and tamarind trees and resident peacocks wander the rough.

Back aboard for lunch, the afternoon continues with a visit to the Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum, followed by high tea and folk performances at Laxmi Vilas Palace itself — a fitting close to a day that began on the same estate’s fairways. Dinner is served onboard as the train departs for Udaipur.

The morning belongs to the City Palace complex, four centuries in the building, followed by a serene boat ride across Lake Pichola.
Lunch is taken at a heritage city venue, and the afternoon is given over to a walking tour of the Old City — its lanes still hung with puppets, lanterns, textiles and handicrafts. Return onboard for dinner as the train departs for Jodhpur, crossing into the Thar Desert overnight.

Breakfast onboard precedes a transfer to the Jodhpur Golf Club, housed within the storied Sardar Club in Ratanada — built in 1901 in an unmistakably Indo-colonial style and once the preserve of Marwar’s aristocracy and British officers. As the club remains private with a restricted guest policy, this tee time needs to be arranged well ahead of travel. (Optional — interest to be confirmed 30 days before the journey)

The afternoon then follows Deccan Odyssey’s published program with a flourish of its own: a tuk-tuk ride to the Clock Tower market’s havelis and old houses, continuing up to Mehrangarh Fort itself, timed so its courtyards and ramparts catch the golden hour over the Blue City below. Dinner is served onboard as the train departs, a little later than usual, for Jaipur.

The train reaches the Pink City to a warm welcome, and from there it is a short transfer to the Rambagh Golf Club — one of India’s most storied courses, founded in 1927 alongside Rambagh Palace and reworked in 2009 under Jeev Milkha Singh, with the ramparts of Moti Doongri and Nahargarh Forts visible across the fairways.

Lunch follows at a city hotel, followed by a brief photo stop at the honeycombed pink façade of Hawa Mahal precedes an exploration of Amer Fort’s courtyards, the mirrored Sheesh Mahal and the Diwan-e-Aam, with Maota Lake spread out below. The remainder of the afternoon is free for shopping among Jaipur’s famed textiles and gemstone jewellery in Johari Bazaar or along MI Road, before dinner onboard as the train departs for Agra.

The morning is given entirely to the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan’s marble tribute to Mumtaz Mahal and still, for most who see it, unlike anything else in the world.
Lunch follows at a city hotel, and the afternoon continues at the UNESCO-listed Agra Fort, taking in the Diwan-e-Am and the Royal Pavilions, with an optional stop for Pietra Dura stonework and other Mughal-inspired souvenirs. Dinner is served onboard as the train departs for Sawai Madhopur.

A village visit offers a quiet interaction with local families ahead of an early lunch back onboard.The afternoon belongs to Ranthambore National Park, one of India’s premier tiger reserves, where a safari offers the chance — never guaranteed, always thrilling — of a sighting of the Royal Bengal Tiger. Dinner is served onboard as the train departs for Delhi, your final night aboard.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

The Deccan Odyssey draws into Safdarjung Railway Station, and breakfast is taken onboard one last time before you disembark and bid the train farewell. A half-day guided tour of Old Delhi follows — the narrow, endlessly alive lanes of Chandni Chowk, the spice market’s colour and scent, and the great bulk of Jama Masjid rising above it all.

Lunch is taken at Dharampura Haveli, a beautifully restored nineteenth-century mansion where a Shahi Dawat-style meal is served in a quiet courtyard. From there, drive to a renowned golf club in Delhi or Gurgaon, widely considered one of India’s finest golfing addresses, for an afternoon round, before checking into your hotel in the evening.

After breakfast at the hotel, a private transfer takes you to Indira Gandhi International Airport, timed comfortably ahead of your onward flight — bringing to a close a journey that began on the platforms of Mumbai and ends, nine days later, on the fairways of Gurgaon.
