Palace on the move
The pioneer of the luxury train concept in India, the Palace on
Wheels, is the imperial brainchild of the Indian Railways and Rajasthan
Tourism. It has luxurious AC coaches named after former Rajput States,
deluxe suites, a library, ISD call facilities, two excellent restaurants,
namely, The Maharaja and The Maharani, decorated in
Rajasthani flavor and serving delicious Continental, Chinese, Indian and
Rajasthani cuisines. The train serpents its way through the pages of
Rajputana history stopping by the reminiscing destinations. What makes the
whole cruise singularly spectacular is the ambience the train posits, a
fusion of antique royality and modern amenities - something that can be best
called a life king-sized.
