The Saloons | Tariff | Itinerary
THE SALOONS The decor of each saloon has highlighted the cultural ethos of the state, represented through the use of furniture, handicrafts, paintings and furnishings. The ceiling in the lounge is of particular interest. Each coupe is different but the over all ambience of the decor of the saloons has been taken care of to provide continuity. Each saloon has cream yellow color on its exterior walls and bears the Coat of Arms (logo) of the erstwhile princely states. Each saloon has 4 coupes (sleeping rooms) with attached bath and toilet. In every saloon, there is one saloon captain and 2 attendants to look after the personal needs of its guests. Each saloon has a mini pantry properly equipped to provide ready tea/coffee and snacks.

Where
else can you relax in comfort & witness the history of India passing
by...... It's a journey worthy of kings. No wonder the experience is
labelled the Palace on Wheels. With its cream saloons, embellished with
intricate designs, chug through Rajasthan on a journey through the former
royal kingdoms of this state. Once ruled by kings whose presence lingers
on in forbidding fortresses and fairytale palaces, now converted into
museums, hotels, and restaurants where retainers serve truly royal repasts.
The 14 coaches of the Palace On Wheels are named after former Rajput
States. Each evokes visions of those royal kingdoms. The names are romantic,
mesmerizing... Kota, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Alwar,
Sirohi, Kishangarh, Bundi, Dungarpur, Bharatpur, Jhalawar and Dholpur.
It has been rated one of the ten best luxurious train journeys in the
world.
