India by train is not the same as India any other way.

The country has 67,000 kilometres of track connecting Himalayan hill stations to Kerala backwater towns, Rajasthan desert forts to Tamil Nadu temple cities. No flight gives you this. No car journey does either. Only the train puts the whole geography of India in front of you at window level - at the pace it actually deserves.

TTI designs India train tour packages for travellers who want to do this properly. The Maharajas Express through Rajasthan's royal cities. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway — a UNESCO World Heritage toy train through the tea gardens. The Nilgiri Mountain Railway winding through Tamil Nadu. The Kalka Shimla heritage railway through the Himalayan foothills. Scenic rail holidays from Mumbai to Goa. Grand India rail tours covering the full north-to-south distance over 18 to 28 days.

Every route is private. Your car, your guide, your pace - at every stop between trains. India train holidays planned by a team that knows the difference between putting someone on a train and building a journey around one.

India by train. The only way to see all of it.
