Rajasthan is explored in many ways. You
can peer out through tinted glasses as your
air-conditioned car or bus rolls past the villages and
cities, you can take a ride on horseback to get a feel of
a Maharaja’s hunt, you can get a little more adventurous
and try the camel safari through the hot sand dunes of the
Thar Desert. But an adventure that combines all
adventures, and guarantees a night of rest and recreation
as well, happens to be a trip on the luxury trains of
Rajasthan.
The luxury trains of Rajasthan are pretty well known in
the tourist circuit, and are popular as well. Therefore,
it is always a good idea to book months in advance if you
want to avoid the waiting list.
The most famous of these
luxury trains is the aptly named Palace on Wheels. Perhaps
there is no other train in the world that provides the
kind of décor, ambiance, facilities and service that you
get aboard the Palace on Wheels. This train has 14 rooms,
each room with differently done interiors. The train
restaurants, named the Maharaja and Maharani in keeping
with the theme of the train, serves multicuisine meals.
The train even has a bar and a library, as well as lounge
areas for passengers. |
