To get a true sense of the rich history of the erstwhile princely state of Rajasthan, it is best to make
a journey by train. And being the publication that we are, we recommend nothing short of pure
indulgence. For the discerning traveller, the Palace On Wheels Train Service is the ideal way to
discover the beautiful land of Rajasthan and explore its majestic forts, its expansive sand dunes
and the labyrinth markets. This luxury train service provides an unforgettable “royal experience”
and lets you relive the glorious lifestyle of the maharajas with panache.
The best way to experience a destination’s history is by land and the Palace On Wheels train is a
fantastic way to explore Rajasthan’s cultural and architectural heritage. The train service seeks
inspiration from the royal trains of erstwhile rulers of the princely states of Rajputana, Gujarat, the
Nizam of Hyderabad and the Viceroy of British India. The train itself is made up of 14 coaches
and each coach is named after a Rajput State and also has décor inspired from the palaces of
the region.
The train service is a testimony to the legendary Indian hospitality and great care is taken to
cater to all the needs of its passengers. Every guest has a personal attendant and on arrival one
is also gifted with a vintage bottle of wine, which can be enjoyed with meals served in the in-
house restaurants; "The Maharaja" and "The Maharani” .
The ethereal journey will unfold the timeless spectacle of the striking landscape and leave the
passengers wide-eyed. The journey begins from the capital city of India, New Delhi and the first
spot is Jaipur. Often referred to as the “Pink City”, Jaipur is always bustling and has some of the
most stunning palaces and monuments. From Jaipur, the train makes it's way to the heart of the
wilderness; Sawai Madhopur and from there one can have lunch at the legendary Chittaurgarh
Fort. The thrice besieged, Chittaurgarh Fort is associated with legends of valor and romance, as its
swashbuckling royal inhabitants were one of the great Indian warrior families. The next two stops
are Udaipur, the Lake City and Jaisalmer, which is in the heart of the Thar Desert. This
extraordinary train journey continues to the wall city of Jodhpur and then the last destination on
the itinerary is Agra, where one gets to witness the renowned Taj Mahal, one of the Seven
Wonders of the World and a truly magnificent monument.
Rajasthan with its marvelous palace hotels, spa retreats, exotic shopping has always been a
luxurious destination. Those who want to explore the “Land of Maharajas” like the “maharaja”,
should board the Palace On Wheels and take a journey of a lifetime.
