OUR STORY

Rajasthan is the magnificent land of numerous kingdoms, majestic forts and palaces, diverse cultures, varied landscapes and vibrant colors.
The name "Palace on Wheels" was derived from its royal back-ground of the coaches. A new meter gauge air conditioned Palace-on-Wheels was introduced in 1984 & had 13
Saloons, 2 Restaurant cum Kitchen car, one Bar cum Lounge and 4 Service Cars. The passenger coaches which were originally meant to be the personal railway coaches of the
erstwhile rulers of princely states of Rajputana, Gujarat, the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Viceroy of British India. These coaches were not being used by the Indian Railways after
independence in normal passenger trains on account of very rich and traditional interiors.
