India's Luxury Train Tours — Travel Rajasthan Like Royalty

Few travel experiences match boarding a heritage train styled after the private carriages of Rajasthan's maharajas — wood-panelled cabins, formal dining cars, and a new palace or fort waiting at each stop. India's luxury trains turn a multi-city Rajasthan circuit into the journey itself, not just the transport between destinations.

This page covers the luxury trains that run through Rajasthan and how our booking and tour-planning service works.

Palace on Wheels

Palace on Wheels

India's original luxury train, Palace on Wheels has been running since 1982 and remains the most iconic way to see Rajasthan by rail. The seven-night journey covers Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Bharatpur, and Agra, with each cabin styled after the personal saloons once used by Rajasthan's royal families.

Onboard, the train features a bar car, two multi-cuisine restaurants and a spa car, making the journey between destinations as much a part of the experience as the stops themselves.

Its addition of Ranthambore National Park to the itinerary gives travellers a wildlife safari alongside the usual fort-and-palace circuit.
