Palace on Wheels, a joint venture of Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation & Indian Railways, has been operating since January 1982. The concept of the Palace-on-Wheels was derived from the royal background of the coaches that belonged to the rulers of the erstwhile Princely states and it was used initially for the journey of the Palace-on-Wheels. After its continuous running for 9 years from its inception it was observed that the Royal coaches had become technically unfit for the smooth rail journey and hence it was decided to fabricate a new air-conditioned meter gauge Palace-on-Wheels on the same pattern of the old train. |
The new air-conditioned train was launched in 1991. In the last 16 years the Palace-on-wheels has gained remarkable success and popularity. The train has been rated as one of the best 10 luxurious rail journeys in the year 1995. Due to over all gauge conversion in the state, a new broad gauge air - conditioned Palace on Wheels was fabricated which has 14 saloons.
Each saloon is having 4 coupes with two beds each with attached bath, shower, channel music, And fully carpeted specially designed furniture. Each saloon has a mini pantry that ensures availability of hot and cold beverages and refreshment throughout the journey. The train has a beautiful lounge attached with well equipped bar car. The train has two restaurants, The Maharaja & Maharani that serves Indian & Continental cuisine.
