Feel
like the royalty on board the Palace on Wheels -
a completely self-train. Fully air-conditioned,
the train comprises of 14 deluxe saloons, equipped
with class amenities to enhance the pleasure of
travelling. Each saloon is a combination of 4 twin-bedded
chambers with channel music, intercom, attached
toilets, running hot & cold water, shower and
wall to wall carpeting. The lounge car recaptures
the royal style, pomp & pageantry, the quality
of the era gone by. The two dining cars-the Maharaja
and the Maharani have a traditional Rajasthani ambience
serving continental, Indian and Rajasthani cuisine.
The coaches are named after the erstwhile princely
states: Alwar, Bharatpur, Bikaner, Bundi, Dhaulpur,
Dungarpur, Jaipur, Kishangarh, Kota, Sirohi and
Udaipur. What's more, each saloon has personal attendants
or 'Khidmatgars', who are at your call whenever
you need anything.
