Deccan odyssey is the latest
joint venture of Indian Railway and MTDC (Maharashtra Tourism
Development Corporation). In collaborations with the famous
Taj Group of hotels, Indian railway has created a complete 5-star
hotel on wheels, with two restaurants and a bar, a sauna, business
centre and other such amenities  on
board. It offers you the best comforts and services available
presently on any luxury train all over the world. It takes you
to most fascinating tourist spots of Maharashtra. Beginning
the journey from Mumbai, the train travels to Ganapatipule,
Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Goa, Pune, Aurangabad, Ajanta and Ellora,
Nashik and then back to Mumbai.
This beautiful blue Limousine on rails is the brainchild of
the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC). An MOU
for the Deccan Odyssey was signed between the Railway Ministry
and the MTDC in Feb 2001 and the Railway Board's go-ahead signal
was received by the ICF (Integral Coach Factory) in May 2002.
It took nearly five months to finalize the design of the coaches
and another five months to complete the construction. The train
completed its trials during late 2003. And finally on January
16th, 2004 Deccan Odyssey started its maiden journey from Chhatrapati
Shivaji Terminus(CST)Mumbai.
