Palace on Wheels The Luxury Train of India
7 nights / 8 days


An extraordinary train for extraordinary people. A train with historic charm and modern conveniences. A royal train beckoning you to step aboard for a week of splendour. It takes you on a royal odyssey.

Bringing alive the luxury of princely travel of the age of the Raj, the Palace-On-Wheels has been designed to suit modern needs with central airconditioning, soothing four channel music, interconnected telephone system in the train, a seperate pantry and lounge in each coach, comfortable coupes with the privacy of attatched bathrooms, two specialty restaurants - 'Maharaja' and 'Maharani', serving exotic Indian, Continental and Rajasthani cuisine, a well stocked bar, a reading and relaxing coach and friendly smiling faces serving you round the clock.

The 14 coaches of the Palace-On-Wheels with rich decor that evokes the age of Rajput chivalry, are named after former royal Rajput states - Kota, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Alwar, Sirohi, Kishangarh, Bundi, Dungarpur, Bharatpur, Jhalawar and Dholpur.

As most of the travelling is done at night, your days are left free - for discovering the delights of Rajasthan.
