What is it doing in Siliguri? I thought the Deccan Odyssey is supposed to cover the tourist spots in Maharashtra.

There is a Deccan Odyssey trip through Mumbai - Udaipur - Jaipur - Agra - Varanasi - Darjeeling, after which an NRM ride takes charge of passengers.

Also, please read NRM as DHR in my previous post.

To add to Anamitra's comment -
The 15 day tour starts in Mumbai and ends in Calcutta. During the tour the Deccan Odyssey takes the
following route 'Mumbai -> Udaipur -> Jaipur -> Delhi -> Agra -> Varanasi -> Siliguri'.
From Siliguri, tourists travel to Darjeeling by the toy train and then to Bagdogra for a flight to Calcutta.

I saw this train at Delhi Safdarjung in March this year. Three years ago, it was seen at Ratnagiri. It used to have a locomotive in matching livery then.

It appears that the original Deccan itinerary did not work well but still the name Deccan Odyssey has caught on!
