The Golden Chariot, a luxury train that tours heritage sites in Karnataka, Southern India - Apr 2009

The Golden Chariot, a luxury train that tours heritage sites in Karnataka, Southern India - Apr 2009
THE GOLDEN CHARIOT - KARNATAKA'S LUXURY TRAIN
Visitors to Southern India can enjoy a luxurious voyage of discovery thanks to a veritable 'palace on wheels' - the Golden Chariot.
This five-star train transports tourists between sites of cultural and historic interest throughout the Indian state of Karnataka.
While the neighbouring states of Kerala and Goa are firmly established on the tourist trail, Karnataka is only just entering the mass consciousness of international travellers.
With poor roads, no real air access and only limited hotels the state has remained largely untouched.
However, the Golden Chariot is now opening up this area and revealing its many wonders, all of which are encapsulated under the region's "One State, Many Worlds" slogan.
And the concept of exploring India's heritage sites from the opulent surroundings of a train that comes complete with its very own spa is proving increasingly popular.
The Golden Chariot's journey begins in Bangalore's Yeshwanthpur railway station before it embarks on a seven day tour that winds its way through Karnataka, stopping at some of its impressive heritage sites, and eventually finishing in Goa.
Those who embark on this journey can enjoy a host of luxuries that are packed into the eighteen coaches that form the Golden Chariot.
Eleven of these carriages are given over to sleeping quarters named after the dynasties - such as Rashtrakuta, Vijayanagara and Chalukya - which formerly ruled over territories in Karnataka.
Each of the carriages, which cost around $350 per night for double occupancy, have a full-time coach attendant who provides an attentive, butler-like service.
The decor of each cabin draws its inspiration from Karnataka'...

With poor roads, no real air access and only limited hotels the state has remained largely untouched.

And the concept of exploring India's heritage sites from the opulent surroundings of a train that comes complete with its very own spa is proving increasingly popular.
The Golden Chariot's journey begins in Bangalore's Yeshwanthpur railway station before it embarks on a seven day tour that winds its way through Karnataka, stopping at some of its impressive heritage sites, and eventually finishing in Goa.
Those who embark on this journey can enjoy a host of luxuries that are packed into the eighteen coaches that form the Golden Chariot.
Eleven of these carriages are given over to sleeping quarters named after the dynasties - such as Rashtrakuta, Vijayanagara and Chalukya - which formerly ruled over territories in Karnataka.
Each of the carriages, which cost around $350 per night for double occupancy, have a full-time coach attendant who provides an attentive, butler-like service.
The decor of each cabin draws its inspiration from Karnataka'...
