The regal coaches of this special train were conceived from the original and personal railway coaches of the erstwhile rulers of the princely states of Rajputana and Gujarat, the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Viceroy of British India, used on bridal journeys, hunting parties and occasions of state visits.
Today, the Palace on Wheel Tour transports its guests into a world of fairytale hues. A royal train assembled to pay homage to the romance of old-fashioned rail travel, the Palace on Wheels journeys through legendary rail tour routes and destinations, witnessing spectacular scenic attractions that can be seen only by train. View grand and glorious vistas from the large picture windows in your cabin while you savour the royal treatments provided onboard.
There are few rail vacations on earth where the miracles of man and nature are so apparent. During Tour, you will be immersed in the culture, history, wildlife and geography of each region included in the Itinerary of Palace on Wheels - starting from Delhi and stopping at Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Sawai Madhopur (Ranthambore), Chittaurgarh, Udaipur, Bharatpur and Agra. The historic train stations built by the royals in the hinterlands of the Thar Desert add to the romantic adventure.
The 14 plush cream salons of Palace on Wheels, adorned with fragrant flowers are named after former Rajput states - Kota, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Alwar, Sirohi, Kishangarh, Bundi, Dungarpur, Bharatpur, Jhalawar and Dholpur - each evoking visions of those royal kingdoms. Each coach has four coupés, done in colours most reminiscent of the state and highlighted by its royal emblem.
With everything taken care of - dining, accommodation, sightseeing, as well as organised shopping, there is nothing for the traveller to do except seep in the history of the land, soak in the colours and savour the royal life of a maharaja. Come, re-live history aboard the Palace on Wheels.
