Relish Your Rajasthan Trip aboard Palace on Wheels

Rajasthan, the erstwhile demesne of Rajasthan rulers, is one of the most sought after destinations in India and the largest state as well. What beckon global nomads to this harsh and deserted terrain are the resplendent forts, magnificent palaces, bustling bazaars and palpable vigor of life present here. Adjudged as 4th best luxury train in the world, Palace on Wheels offers a weeklong trip covering former princely states of Rajasthan along with a halt in Agra.

Palaces on Wheels
Welcome to Guest on board Palaces on Wheels
A joint effort of Rajasthan Tourism and Development Corporation, Palace on Wheels embarked on its maiden voyage on 26th January, 1982. The destinations of Rajasthan covered by this luxury tourist train include Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Sawai Madhopur, Jaisalmer and Bharatpur. Being a domain of Mughal emperors who were staunch enemies of Rajputs, Agra is a stark opposition in this train tour itinerary. Safdarjung Railway Station in New Delhi serves as the point of embarkation and disembarkation for Palace on Wheels.

Except for Sawai Madhopur and Bharatpur, each destination of Rajasthan included in the tour itinerary was either founded by former Rajput rulers or resonate with the tales of their valor and chivalry. The most prominent among all is fort town ‘Chittorgarh’ who’s every nook and corner sings saga of Rajput audacity with the examples of ‘Jauhar’ committed by Rani Padmavati and Karnavati and ferocious battle of Haldighati. 

Sawai Madhopur and Bharatpur are largely recognized for their wildlife treasure troves. Whereas Sawai Madhopur is one of the most famous tiger reserves in India, Keoladeo Ghana National Park, emblazoned as World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is a heaven for migratory birds and bird watchers. 

Taj Mahal in Agara

The penultimate destination of Palace on Wheels tour itinerary is Agra. The city is mainly visited for Taj Mahal which depicts the proud passion of Shah Jahan’s love for Mumtaz Mahal wrought in white marble. On the 8th day, Palace on Wheels train journey draws to an end by providing a wholesome experience of Rajasthan travel to the passengers.
