Journey Aboard Palace on Wheels
Board India's most celebrated luxury train and travel back in time — through gilded palaces, ancient forts, and desert sunsets.
Experience Palace on Wheels
Seven nights aboard a heritage train built from the private saloons of Rajputana's maharajas — where every carriage, meal, and evening is designed to feel like a different age.
The Sheesh Mahal Lounge
Hand-cut mirror mosaics and carved wood, inspired by Amber Fort. Curated cocktails and live Rajasthani folk performances as the train glides through the night.
Onboard Wellness & Spa
Ayurvedic treatments and traditional Rajasthani massages after a day of exploring forts and desert markets.
Living Royal Heritage
Every coach is named after a former princely state, with interiors drawing on that royal house's own art and textiles.
A Journey, Not a Transfer
Unlike a flight or a bus, the train itself is the destination each evening — dinner, music, and the desert rolling past your window.
