Palace on Wheels - The Train |
|
Palace
on Wheels is just not another train! It is a living history that
makes you part of the culture, traditions, legends, and most
importantly the royalty that Rajasthan has always identified
itself with. This train takes you through a 7-night journey of
Rajasthan (land of kings) and treats you like a king at every
occasion and in every interaction. The minute you set your sight
at this train for the first time - you fall in love with it.
Pink exteriors, train staff brightly dressed with colorful
turbans, and authentic royal Rajasthani interiors - this is a
love at first sight.
There are 14 passenger coaches attached to Palace on Wheels,
each named after one of the princely states of Rajasthan. No two
coaches of the train are identically done. Each coach carries
the cultural ethos of the royal state after which it is named.
From the carvings on wall to paintings, and state emblem - each
coach is an study in itself. Each coach has four cabins with two
beds each. The beds can be joined together on specific requests
from the clients. Each coach has a small lounge where you can
watch TV, read a book or newspaper, and have your breakfast.
Each cabin has attached bath with shower to give you some
comfortable and peaceful moments after a long-day sightseeing
program. There is also a herbal beauty care centre on board to
rejuvenate your sagging spirit.
The train also has a bar cum lounge with finest collection of
wines on board. Meet, greet, and enjoy the beauty of landscape
passing by. The two restaurants "Maharaja and Maharani" will
serve you authentic Rajasthani, North Indian, Continental and
Chinese dishes throughout your journey aboard this great train. |
