The Palace on Wheels recreates the travelling style of Rajasthan’s princely states, whose rulers once had private railway saloons. Its cabins are themed on the former royal states, with lounges, a bar and two dining cars serving Indian and continental cuisine. Each day brings a new city – and you never have to pack and unpack.
The train runs on fixed departures between September and April. We handle cabin booking, pre- and post-tour hotels and transfers. Fares vary by season and cabin type – please enquire for current rates.
Best time to travel: September – April (fixed weekly departures)
