Itinerary Highlights
The pioneering luxury train of India, the Palace on Wheels has been travelling through Rajasthan for over 35 years. Regal and refined, each coach is named after a Rajput state.
Jaisalmer, a remote desert city in western Rajasthan, is home to arguably one of India’s finest forts – a medieval warren of narrow lanes, local temples and beautiful havelis.
Nothing prepares you for the grandeur of Jodhpur’s Meherangarh Fort. This mighty citadel dominates the city and offers unrivalled views of the blue-washed homes below.
