The
Palace on Wheels |
| 
|
| Where
else can you relax in comfort & witness the history
of India passing by ….
It's a journey worthy of kings. No wonder the experience
is labelled the Palace on Wheels. With its cream saloons,
embellished with intricate designs, chug through Rajasthan
on a journey through the former royal kingdoms of
this state. Once ruled by kings whose presence lingers
on in forbidding fortresses and fairytale palaces,
now converted into museums, hotels, and restaurants
where retainers serve truly royal repasts.
The 14 coaches of the Palace On Wheels are named after
former Rajput states. Each evokes visions of those
royal kingdoms. The names are romantic, mesmerizing...
Kota, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner,
Alwar, Sirohi, Kishangarh, Bundi, Dungarpur, Bharatpur,
Jhalawar and Dholpur. It has been rated one of the
ten best luxurious train journeys in the world.
