The Golden Chariot travels through the southern fringes of the country. The major destinations it covers have been chosen based on their rich history, opulent architecture and vibrant culture.

Since the southern peninsula is poised in such a way that it is flanked by the Arabian Sea in the west, the Indian Ocean on its tip and the Bay of Bengal on the east, it has been the coveted desire of several powerful empires and dynasties. These have left an indelible mark on the land in terms of art and crafts, spirituality, architecture and cuisines.

The Train – The Guest carriages of the Golden Chariot train are named after the dynasties which ruled south India over several centuries. Each guest carriage has four cabins with a mix of twins and doubles. The guest cabins are a mix of 13 Double Bed Cabins, 30 Twin Bed Cabins and 1 Cabin for the specially-abled.
