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’.
