Wes Anderson sought to shoot The Darjeeling Limited as
"organically" as possible. "I am used to the set design in my films
coming from my imagination or different influences combined with my
imagination," Wes says, but in India, it was a different case. There
was always something funny or something strange and we wanted to
capture it is -- and the challenge was getting as much of that as
possible into a movie we had written."
The Darjeeling Limited was filmed on a real train and on live track, with help from Northwestern Railways.
The film was shot in the "palace-lined, desert region of Rajasthan
in Northwest corner of the sub-continent, with The Darjeeling Limited,
itself moving on track that ran from the city of Jodhpur all the way to
Jaisalmer, in the Thar Desert, near the Pakistani border."
Patricia's convent and orphanage was filmed in Udaipur,
in a former royal hunting lodge that once belonged to the Maharana of
Mewar. "The location needed to feel both remote and dramatic," says
designer Friedberg.
