Palace on Wheels
Introduction
The personal coaches used by erstwhile rulers and the Viceroys of British
India would only have been a topic of conversation, it become a reality with
the introduction of the Palace on Wheels.
Palace on Wheels tour is indeed one of the world’s most exciting rail journeys. The
excitement of the history of the Rajput Kingdoms permeates through, clearly
captured in a contemporary mode. Fully air-conditioned, the train comprises
of 14 deluxe saloons. Each saloon is a combination of 4 twin-bedded chambers
with proper arrangements of music, intercom and attached toilets.
Each saloon has personal attendants or Khidmatgars who are at your service,
whenever you need them. The train chugs out of Delhi Cant. It is on a
week-long run through Rajasthan, on every Wednesday night.
