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 tourist sights.
It is fully air-conditioned, and consists of 14 luxuriously decorated coaches, and they have two restaurants. 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".
