The Luxury Train has 21 coaches out of which 11 are passenger cars with 4 coupes each. There are 2 Presidential Suite Cars with 2 coupes each car. The train also has a Conference Car (can be redesigned as dance floor in the night) and two Restaurant Cars. There is also a Lounge/Bar Car and one surprising addition is a Spa Car. Apart from the above there are Generator Cars with luggage store and Staff Car or Spare Car.

Our train includes two splendid Restaurant Cars, offering a wonderful variety of Indian and International Cuisine. Tended by staff from the world-renowned Taj Hotel Group, the Indian and international food offered here is to the very highest culinary standards. Traditionally decorated, these beautifully-designed cars offer a superb and relaxed venue in which to enjoy your meals while watching India’s remarkable scenery slip past the windows.
Another highlight is the splendidly-appointed Lounge Car, which includes a well stocked bar offering the perfect surroundings for a quiet drink with your fellow passengers.
A particularly attractive feature of the Great Indian Royale Express is its Spa Car: here passengers can relax and enjoy a traditional Ayurvedic massage, work out in the gym, visit the on board hairdressing salon or enjoy the heat of the sauna even while the train is underway.
