| THE
TRAIN... luxurious saloons |
 |
The
Palace on Wheels has been rated one of the ten best luxurious
train journeys in the world. Originally the train had 12 fully
furnished non-air conditioned saloons, once owned by former
Maharajas, Governor Generals and Viceroys of the British period.
The Palace on Wheels started as unique holiday concept hauled
by a steam engine with its inaugural trip on 26th January,1982.

In
1991, a new air-conditioned meter gauge Palace on Wheels on the
lines of the old heritage train was launched. The interiors of the
current 14 saloons are authentic replicas of the historic coaches.
Each saloon is equipped with twin- bedded cabins, each with channel
music, intercom, with attached baths and running hot and cold water
and a shower.
