The two restaurants, Sesangir and Vervadar,
offer food delicious enough to satisfy the fussiest of
gourmands. Unlike the rest of the train, here, the décor is
less ostentatious, for Sesangir represents the charms of rural
India. In a style typical of many a rural Indian home, the
walls of this restaurant are coated in mud and decked with
patterns and mirrors.
Then there is the train’s Watering Hole,
which, true to its name, offers visitors the chance to while
away the hours nursing a quiet drink or enjoy the company of
fellow travelers with glasses of convivial spirits.
In Rajasthan, you will be able to visit the Chittorgarh Fort,
renowned for the courageous sacrifice of Rani Padmini, her
husband, and hundreds of Rajput warriors and their families.
Udaipur, less grim, is the favorite haunt of romantics and
honeymooners.
This city, rightly called Venice of the East,
owes its beauty to the network of lakes and canals that
crisscross the city. The palaces by the lake, particularly
City Palace and Lake Palace, are like enchanted places out of
a picture book. On your return trip, the penultimate
destination will be Jaipur, the Pink City, where you will be
taken on a tour of Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar.
Royal Orient offers the trip of a lifetime, a seven day
journey that will take you through the length and breadth of
western India, the fulfillment of a wish, the realization of a
dream. |
