South India is a land that reflects a multitude of cultural hues and is always on the list of priorities for those travelers who want to explore the ancient culture of India. The southern region of India proudly serves as evidence of the ancient Dravidian culture, whose relics are sprinkled with all three states - Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. For those who want to enjoy the cultural wealth of this region in a luxurious manner, a trip aboard the Golden Chariot is one of the best options for them.
The Golden Chariot was introduced in 2008 as a joint venture between the State Tourism and Development Corporation of Karnataka (KSTDC) and Indian Railways to provide luxury rail trips in southern India. This luxurious India train, built on the lines of the famous palace on wheels, aims to provide a similar experience of a luxurious and elegant journey by rail.
The golden chariot with two routes - the Pride of the South and the Magnificence of the South - invites guests to a week-long expedition to various culturally powerful and historically famous places in India. While the Pride of the South welcomes guests for a week-long stay at various historical sites in Karnataka, the Splendor of the South offers a glimpse into various prominent places of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala.
As mentioned above, each destination in the southern region is littered with several relics of Dravidian architecture, and the destinations traveled by this Indian luxury train do correspond to this statement. The name of this royal train is the greatest proof, since it is inspired by the stone chariots of Humpy, which is one of the destinations included in the route “Pride of the South”.
Speaking of Pride of the South, most of the destinations included in the itinerary have some of the predominant temples built in the Middle Ages by various South Indian rulers in worshiping their beloved deity. These classes are less attended for religious fervor and more so as to marvel at the architectural elegance of these historical structures. The destinies of the Pride of the South, where guests may scare the historical and cultural heritage of southern India, include Hassan, Hospet, Hampi and Badami.
Moving along the Great South, a large number of destinations included in this route fall into the Tamil Nadu region and are replete with countless Dravidian temples that too trace their origins from the Middle Ages and receive patronage from the former South Indian rulers. Do not forget that the Golden Chariot is a luxurious train designed to make the journey of guests comfortable and hassle-free.
The luxurious train in India is equipped with all the modern amenities and services that are needed to make your luxurious and elegant handlebar. The 11 trainers' ethically designed trainers are equipped with a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi access. Other services, such as the generous dining room, lounge bar, business center and Ayurvedic spa, were provided on the train to meet the needs of discerning guests.
A trip aboard the Golden chariot Train reveals the extensive repertoire of South Indian cultural heritage for 8 days and 7 nights. Two carefully thought-out routes of this Indian luxury train are characterized by different cultural potential and historically significant fates, sufficient to acquaint guests with how well relics of the past were preserved and equally returned even after many centuries.
