train trips

<p><strong><a href="https://www.belmond.com/royal-scotsman-train/journeys/4_177834" target="_blank">The Belmond Royal Scotsman</a> </strong>bills itself as a &ldquo;country house on wheels,&rdquo; so it&rsquo;s no surprise that fishing, clay pigeon shooting, and boating are all offered during the five-day Classic Journey from Edinburgh to the Scottish Highlands. In the land of whiskey and golf, travelers can expect distillery tours and tastings, plus some tee time (on a castle estate, no less). Follow it all with the ultimate in onboard spa treatments: a facial with hot stone therapy and deep tissue massage in the new Bamford Haybarn Spa carriage featuring sustainable wood from Scotland and the Cotswolds.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="http://www.nomadicexpeditions.com/trip-finder/the-tsars-gold-westbound-to-moscow-trans-siberian-railway/" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold;">Nomadic Expeditions</a>, the high-end tour operator known for its epic Mongolian trips that might include off-roading, horse trekking or camel riding, now offers another type of excursion: the rail journey. Its 13-day Moscow to Ulaanbaatar expedition takes place on the iconic, century-old Trans-Siberian Railway. Excursions range from cruising immense Lake Baikal and relaxing in a traditional Russian banya (sauna) to attending the opening ceremony of Ulaanbaatar&rsquo;s Naadam Games and taking in its wrestling and archery competitions. Then climb back onboard for dining on some of Russia&rsquo;s finest delicacies including black sturgeon and red pacific salmon caviar.</p>

<p>Opulent touches including personal butlers and hand-painted fresco ceilings on the nearly half-mile long <a href="http://www.the-maharajas.com/maharajas/maharajas-express-gems-of-india.html" target="_blank"><strong>Maharajas&rsquo; Express</strong></a> are meant to invoke the bygone days of plush, princely train travel. On the four-day Gems of India trip, the regal lifestyle continues with an open-air game drive through Rajasthan&rsquo;s Ranthambore National Park, the one-time hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur, which is still home to tigers, leopards, striped hyenas, and more. The lavish voyage also includes a visit to the Taj Mahal.&nbsp;</p>
