Each saloon has a mini pantry and a lounge, and the rooms have 4 twin bedded chambers with music, shower, wall to wall carpeting.

There are two restaurants, the "Maharaja" and the "Maharani" (meaning "King" and "Queen" in Hindi), and they serve a variety of cuisines including Continental and Chinese.

The tour starts in Delhi, then Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Madhopur and Chittaurgarh. The last two stops are the beautiful Udaipur and Bharatpur and culminates in Agra at the taj mahal.

The fee is pricey, around $3,000 for the week, but it's going to be worth every penny.
