Palace On Wheels

Since I had known about the Palace on Wheels train service in India I have been dreaming to explore India through a train journey. Last November I bought a luxury train tour package and landed at Delhi. Palace on Wheel is a luxury train where I experienced a royal train journey visiting various exotic locations of incredible India.

Firstly I was excited by the welcome style of the traditional Indian hospitality, I felt like a royal person for a moment. Indeed the affluence of the train and its hospitality impressed me. I boarded my coach at the Delhi Cantt station from where Palace on Wheels starts its journey. In brief it gave me chance to explore the famous tourist destinations in India- Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Sawai Madhopur, Chittaurgarh, Udaipur, Bharatpur and Agra. Indeed it was a delightful luxury tour.

Palace on Wheels tour was a mesmerizing journey now inscribed in my mind. The most memorable was the dining and drinking. The menus were both Indian and continental. The cuisines were delicious; I can say now Indians know how to serve to its guests most magnificently. Even the interiors of the luxury train were so well-decorated.

Jaisalmer and Jaipur visit was so fascinating. Palace on Wheel fulfilled my wilderness spirit also. I explored also the wildlife of Ranthambore National Park and Bharatpur Bird sanctuary. But the Palace on Wheel train journey mostly reminded me now the beauty of Taj Mahal. What a wonderful creation it is? Besides I discovered the countryside of India while the train penetrated through the countryside.

The seven days journey was so enjoyable. The train has indoor games facilities. Even I had made so many friends in my journey when I toured the places in a group. Now I can say while visiting in Palace on Wheel make friends, love, laugh, drink, feel the warm hospitality…The lounge is the perfect place for relaxation and making friends.
Hey friends, keep in mind Palace on Wheel is a no-smoking train. I say now undoubtedly this
luxury train in India is the most beautiful Luxury Train Tour to explore the Mother India.
