Place on Wheels Route Destinations

Palace on Wheels is the oldest luxury train of India. Crafted with the ultimate grandeur of Rajasthan and known for unmatched opulence, this luxury train takes tourists through the gems of Rajasthan in a regal way.

While the moody tigers of Ranthambhore National Park raise the goose bumps, the gallant stories of the Maharajas and Maharanis of Chittorgarh, treasured at the Chittorgarh Fort, evoke respect.

As Palace on Wheels chugs into the Lake City of Udaipur, guests can feel romanticism in its air. Boat over the placid waters of Lake Pichola, enjoying a magical sunset while the Jag Mandir Palace, nestled at the heart of the lake is the best place to enjoy a candlelight dinner with your loved ones.

The train also takes you to the desert city of Jaisalmer, where some magical moments are created by folk song and dance programmes at the Sam Sand Dunes. There are night camps here where guests can bask in the silent beauty of the desert as the open sky filled with stars creates a serene ambience.

The train also visits the Keoladeo National Park of Bharatpur, where the joyous chirps of almost 350 species of residential and migratory birds greet the tourists. The blue hue of Jodhpur allures the tourists as the trim approaches the city. The itinerary of Palace on Wheels also includes a visit to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Taj Mahal and other monuments of Agra.

The train starts its journey from Delhi with a traditional Rajputana welcome with a refreshing welcome drink, tilak and garlands.

Delhi

On day One, the train starts its travel from Delhi Railway Station. Delhi is a puzzling land with both history and modernity encapsulated inside the chaotic rhythms of local lifestyle. The monuments of the land provide the best photogenic sights for your eyes and the street vendors do wonder to your stomach. The frenetic road-side markets are the best place to fill up your luggage with souvenirs. Do you know that Delhi has been the pinnacle of strength and pride for several dynasties? Delhi has been constructed over and over by several rulers who took hold of it and that is why, Delhi has several faces to entertain the tourists. However, the itinerary of the Palace on Wheels does not include excursion inside this historic city.
