Train

@hilson Yes its a train but having all the facilities like a 5-star

OMG! That's so expensive to ride on. No wonder it is called the Palace on Wheels.
I realised that different places have different sight seeing time frame.
I also realised the most expensive coach has the same price throughout the year. So if you are really wealthy, you can choose whenever you want to travel.
