The first sight of the Deccan Odyssey is arresting. You almost stop to gaze in admiration at this midnight blue and gold train with 21 carriages.

The coaches of the train are all named after forts, monuments and sites barring the bar, which is called Mumbai High. The decor and lighting too is in keeping with the intention of giving a feeling of luxury. There are 11 passenger cars with four coupes and 2 Presedential suites with two coups each. The difference between the two lies in the latter having a double bed, an antique writing table & chair and an attached lounge with a television. For all the coups in the passenger cars, there is a single lounge.

The two restaurants of the Deccan Odyssey further enhance the feeling of luxury. You will enjoy a wide range of Continental and Indian dishes here sitting on a table near the window through which scenes pass by in quick succession. A spa and a gym complete your idea of luxurious living.
