Recapture the pomp and pageantry of a royal past in royal style. Step aboard the Palace on Wheels, where each of the 14 coaches are decorated in the style of a former maharajah. See colorful Rajasthan in all its splendor and the Taj Mahal at Agra...Fully air conditioned, the train includes two restaurant coaches and a lounge coach with bar and library. Your chamber is complete with attached private bath and shower. Palace on Wheels departs every Wednesday September through April.

Update December 1999:
The grandiose offering from the Rajasthan Development Corportation wears a brand new look. Bright and cheerful interiors, totally renovated restaurants, bars, lounges - there are features galore to match the mood of the new millennium-- even an exercise gym with weights and exercise bicycle. More spacious, better illumination and some special attractions for women travelers are the highlights. However, the biggest draw is the glass panelling on one side, which allows for an unhindered view of the rich and rustic countryside scenery. International satellite phones will be added soon.
