Overview

While the Ranthambore National Park thrills you, the Taj Mahal will soothe your senses. On the one hand, the streets of Udaipur and Jaipur will fill your sight with hues, and on the other, the rusty rugged landscape of Ellora Caves will pick your collar backs and slowly land you on the land of history. But that is just a glimpse of all the Indian Odyssey holds. Deccan Odyssey, with its luxurious amenities and gracious services, is reminiscent of the lifestyle lived by the maharajas in the erstwhile era.
