With its chic rooms, a multi cuisine kitchen and a fully stocked bar, one of India’s five luxury trains, Karnataka’s Golden Chariot, seems not very different from most star hotels.
With a total of 14 carriages, out of which 12 are named after the royal dynasties which ruled over Karnataka like Hoysala and Vijayanagara, the interiors of the train provide a royal feel to the passengers who will board it.
Ahead of the train’s first trip after a hiatus of over a year, The Hindu took a peek into the train stationed at Yeshwantpur Railway station.
