Palace on Wheels is an ultra luxury train ride in India. This tour is for 7 nights and 8 days and starts from Delhi. This train covers Jaipur, Jodhpur, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Bharatpur and Agra. The best part of the tour is that accomodation is on the train. Each cabin is tastefully decorated with attached bath. The passenger coaches were originally the personal railway coaches of the erstwhile rulers of princely states of Rajputana, Gujarat, the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Viceroy of British India.

The train also has a well appointed lounge, library, bar dining cars. You will get Maharaja treatment on-board the train.

On day 2 when we got out of the train we were surprised to see red carpet, traditional welcome with music and tilak. We were garlanded and taken out the railway station like VIPs. We enjoyed this the first time but got little embarrassed from next time onwards and avoided the royal treatment as much as possible.
