Golden Chariot

Anita takes a ride aboard the Golden Chariot, Karnataka’s answer to the famous Palace on Wheels. Her photos give a good indication of the luxuries you can expect on-board.

From a traditional welcome at Yeshwantpur station to boarding the train and then later having champagne at the bar and an elaborate dinner in the lounge, this was a totally different experience from our normal train journeys. Cramped interiors, not too clean seats, stinky toilets are some of our associations with Indian trains so this was like a bit of a culture shock on wheels.
