Planes, Trains & Automobiles

By train we have some amazing options. Wend your way through the mist-wreathed tea fields of Sri Lanka’s Hill Country, marvelling at the verdant plantations and the tea-pluckers dressed in colourful saris. Take the Maharajas Express, one of the world’s great luxury train rides and a marvellous way to see the jewels of India in utter comfort. The railways form the backbone of the commuter system in India. And you can experience it first-hand travelling from one of Delhi’s busiest stations. In Myanmar, take a train across the spectacular Gokteik Viaduct, the largest railway trestle in the world at the time of its completion.

On the road, the Maharajas of Rajasthan have always been avid car collectors and when you stay at their magnificent palaces in northern India it’s possible to have private rides in magnificent vintage cars. Alternatively, arrive in style to your hotel in KL or Singapore in a chauffeur-driven Bentley or Rolls Royce.
