A new train experience will be launched in 2010 for travellers looking for a different way to explore the country on a holiday in India.

Travellers can step off their flight to Mumbai and on to a luxury train – the Deccan Odyssey – and be taken on an escorted holiday in India.

Holidaymakers will travel across the north of India, from Mumbai to Delhi, stopping at the World Heritage sites of the Ajanta and Ellora caves as well as Udaipur’s palaces and lakes and the Pink City of Jaipur.

People may even get the chance to spot wild tigers in the Ranthambhor National Park.

Sightseeing tours are also on offer in Mumbai as well as in Delhi at the start and end of the trail.

A trip to the archaic bazaars in Mumbai is one of the recommended things to do on a holiday in the city, according to Lonely Planet.

It also suggests paying a visit to the Shiva sculpture at Elephanta Island.
