Royal Rajasthan on Wheels

A Royal Train Journey

Royal Rajasthan on Wheels, a regal train chugging across the land of maharajas in western India, 11 Jan2009 (Sunday) started its maiden journey, with the government promising to launch similar services in more states. The luxury train is a joint venture by the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation and the Indian Railways. The seven-day sojourn on the Royal Rajasthan train promises to be a heady mix of Rajasthan's pristine historic experience, said Soni.

With a carrying capacity of 82 people, the train will have 13 deluxe saloons and one super deluxe saloon, four service cars and two restaurant bars. A top-class spa and wi-fi facilities are also in the offering.

The itinerary of the train will be the same as the Palace on Wheels: it would leave Delhi and start on its week-long journey through Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and Sawai Madhopur among other places before terminating the run at Delhi.

Due to technical difficulties, the train will not go to Bikaner this season though announced earlier. For more details please visit at www.rtdc.in/RROW/default.htm
