Rajasthan luxury train journey
Palace on Wheels
Rajasthan’s Palace on Wheels luxury train is India’s answer to the Orient Express: modelled on the luxurious railway cars of old with richly decorated interiors and service-proud staff.
Travelling through the desert-edges of the former royal state of Rajasthan, usually at night to allow full days of sightseeing in magical cities such as Jaipur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer and Jodhpur, the journey is a lavish experience with luncheons arranged in former maharajas palaces and richly decorated elephants and entertainers regularly greeting the train’s arrival.
Camel treks and tiger safaris round out the week of activities, which culminates in a visit to the Taj Mahal at Agra before returning to New Delhi.
