Rajasthan Tourism

Rajasthan is explored in many ways. You can peer out through tinted glasses as your air-conditioned car or bus rolls past the villages and cities, you can take a ride on horseback to get a feel of a Maharaja’s hunt, you can get a little more adventurous and try the camel safari through the hot sand dunes of the Thar Desert. But an adventure that combines all adventures, and guarantees a night of rest and recreation as well, happens to be a trip on the luxury trains of Rajasthan.

The luxury trains of Rajasthan are pretty well known in the tourist circuit, and are popular as well. Therefore, it is always a good idea to book months in advance if you want to avoid the waiting list.

The most famous of these luxury trains is the aptly named Palace on Wheels. Perhaps there is no other train in the world that provides the kind of décor, ambiance, facilities and service that you get aboard the Palace on Wheels. This train has 14 rooms, each room with differently done interiors. The train restaurants, named the Maharaja and Maharani in keeping with the theme of the train, serves multicuisine meals. The train even has a bar and a library, as well as lounge areas for passengers.
