PALACE ON WHEELS

The Palace on Wheels is an amazing experience. Although the rail cars are 1980's restorations of old cars. They capture the experience of luxury rail travel in the early part of the 20th century when Maharajas traveled in luxury. Our train had 22 cars including 14 sleepers, 2 dining cars, a bar car, a spa car, 2 power generation cars and cars for staff meal preparation and laundry. Each of the sleeping cars has four cabins accommodating two travelers. Each sleeper had two uniformed attendants whose main mission in life was to pamper you like royalty. The food was excellent. Indian food was available at every meal, and the balance of the menu varied daily from Italian to Chinese to Continental.
