A refurbished, regal experience on wheels

Beginning its journey from Safdarjung railway station in New Delhi, the royal train will cover Khajuraho and Varanasi for the first time besides taking the passengers on a royal experience of Rajasthan.

The passengers will be able to experience contemporary regal luxury onboard. The train will cover all the major tourist destinations of Rajasthan like Jodhpur, Udaipur, Chittorgarh, Jaipur and Sawai Madhopur. A trip to Khajuraho, Varanasi and Agra are also the special attractions on the itinerary.

Enthused by the grand success of the Palace on Wheels, the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation Ltd (RTDC) and Indian Railways had launched this joint venture in January 2009.

Unfortunately, the inaugural run did not draw the expected number of passengers but the RTDC hopes the royal extravaganza will be able to attract more tourists this year.

The Royal Rajasthan on Wheels will run every Sunday between September and April.
This new train can accommodate 82 passengers and offers top class services onboard. The royal train has fascinating super deluxe saloon, 13 deluxe saloons and two restro-lounges. Like the Palace on Wheels, this royal train will also have spa facilities onboard, in addition to a gym.

Thirty-three passengers, including 10 Indians, travel on the super luxurious train on its maiden trip this year.
