Maharajas' Express

India The first luxury train to cross Indian state borders, the Maharajas' Express is as opulent as its name suggests, with blue and green tiled ceilings, velvet upholstery and mother-of-pearl panels; cabins have LCD TVs and even bathtubs. The Express covers more than 1,500 miles and a mix of iconic landmarks (like the Taj Mahal in Agra) and lesser-known spots (like the erotic temples of Khajuraho). F&W Travel Editor Jen Murphy writes, "On my own, I never would have been able to see so much in eight days. Here, I didn't even have to unpack a suitcase."
