Overview of The Palace on wheels
It's a journey worthy of kings. No wonder the experience is labelled the
Palace on Wheels. With its cream saloons, embellished with intricate
designs, chug through Rajasthan on a journey through the former royal
kingdoms of this state. Once ruled by kings whose presence lingers on in
forbidding fortresses and fairytale palaces, now converted into museums,
hotels, and restaurants where retainers serve truly royal repasts.
The 14 coaches of the royal train are named after former Rajput states
matching the aesthetics and interiors of the royal past. Each saloon has a
mini pantry and a lounge to ensure availability of hot and cold beverages
and refreshment and a place to relax and get together. The train has two
lavish restaurants "The Maharaja" and "The Maharani"
with a Rajasthani ambiance serving palate tickling Continental, Indian and
Rajasthani cuisine. The train also boasts of a well - stocked bar offering
the choicest of spirits of Indian and International Brands. Each coach
also offers a good collection of books to choose from.
In 1991, The Palace on Wheels has been refurbished to a great extent. The
decor in the saloons, bar lounge has been changed, keeping in mind the
traditional aesthetic yet modern, Palace on Wheels. Toilets have been
redone and are maintained sparkling clean. Each saloon lounge has been
equipped with a color television and a CD player.
A satellite phone is on the to make you communicate anywhere in the world
