Palace on Wheels

At the turn of the 20th century, during the days of the Raj, viceroys and maharajas built stately carriages for their personal use on the vast Indian rail network.

Finished in opulent splendour, these carriages were a transportable “Palace on Wheels”. Today’s Palace on Wheels reflects all the luxury and service expected, but with contemporary amenities.

The Palace on Wheels offers a unique tour of Rajasthan, its great cities, wonderful wildlife and extravagant forts and palaces.
