Climb aboard the legendary Palace on Wheels train for a week-long odyssey recreating the ambiance and glorious past as you travel through the heart of Rajasthan. You will feel like royalty on board one of the top ten luxury trains in the world as you visit little-seen and well-known attractions, including the famous Taj Mahal.
Welcome aboard the Palace on Wheels on its splendid and enchanting royal rail journey through the bygone era of the erstwhile Maharajas. Though times have changed and the winds have shifted, the Palace On Wheels cruises along in royal style, the kind only the Maharajas of yesteryears could have perpetuated and enjoyed.
The exquisite and exclusive Palace On Wheels has luxurious cabins, wall to wall carpeting, a well stocked bar, two dining cars and very personalized service... in fact, almost everything that could promise heaven on earth for seven days!
The Palace on Wheels has been rated one of the ten best luxurious train journeys in the world. Originally the train had 12 fully furnished non-air conditioned saloons, once owned by former Maharajas, Governor Generals and Viceroys of the British period. The Palace on Wheels started as a unique holiday concept hauled by a steam engine with its inaugural trip on January 26, 1982.
In 1991, a new air-conditioned meter gauge Palace on Wheels on the lines of the old heritage train was launched. The interiors of the current 14 saloons are authentic replicas of the historic coaches. Each saloon is equipped with twin-bedded cabins, each with channel music, intercom, with attached baths and running hot and cold water and a shower.

“It was a fantastic trip through some of the most beautiful areas in India. Living on the train was much easier than checking in and out of hotels throughout the week and enduring long drives or airport hassles. Staff and guides were knowledgable, friendly and always helpful. We enjoyed meeting new friends on the train and left with enduring memories of a wonderful place.”

“After an exciting tour around Asia and “one week in wonderland”, I am back home. I had a great time with Palace on Wheels and will certainly recommend the tour to my friends. One more thing: I would like to highlight the professional, reliable and friendly services of the driver who took care of me during the stay in Delhi: Mr. V.K. Yadav. For any European tourist, the traffic conditions in Delhi are just crazy but he managed his way smoothly and safely so that I had the time to relax and enjoy.”
