 About
Palace on Wheels :-
Palace on Wheels has graced the Rajasthan tourism and Indian
railways since 26th January, 1982 when it made its inaugural
operations from October 1982. It initially comprised of saloons
that were used by the royalties of India. It stands on its tracks;
a gleaming sealed carriage, every bit as royal as the original,
and perhaps more. The air-conditioning works silently, creating a
space where only the excitement of the history of the Rajput
kingdoms permeates through, clearly captured in a contemporary
mode. In all, there are fourteen saloons, each equipped with two
twin-bedded and two double-bedded chambers, with attached baths
that have running hot and cold water and showers. The modern
conveniences have been thoughtfully provided, sofas to sink into,
strategically placed lights to read by, wonderfully appointed beds
with comfortable furnishings, inbuilt wardrobes for the storage of
one’s clothes and bags, and huge plate glass windows to watch the
countryside roll past.
