The '''Palace on Wheels''' is one of four luxury
trains on
Indian Railways.
The train departs from
New Delhi, and during its eight day journey travels around
Rajasthan, with stops in
Jaipur,
Jaisalmer,
Jodhpur,
Sawai Madhopur,
Chittaurgarh,
Udaipur,
Bharatpur, and
Agra. The trip includes visits to a number of sights, including
Hawa Mahal (the Palace of Winds),
Ranthambhore National Park,
Jag Niwas (Lake Palace), the
Jag Mandir (City Palace),
Keoladeo National Park, and the
Taj Mahal.
Earlier the ''Palace on Wheels'' was restricted to foreign tourists, but it was later opened up to Indians too - although prices are quoted in US$, and "Indian passengers can pay an equivalent amount in Rupees at the exchange rate prevalent at the time of payment".
