A complete week to live like the kings and queens of the erstwhile era of Rajasthan clubbed with opportunities to explore the royal cities they once ruled - this is what draws tourists from all over the world to travel on the Palace on Wheel. And it is precisely this luxurious life offered to tourists that secured the Palace on Wheels a place amongst the top ten luxury trains of the world. However, the love that the Palace on Wheels has received from world over is immense. Requests for bookings on Palace on Wheel are so many that it is now difficult for the train authorities to accommodate everyone. The result of this is quiet obvious - a number of tourists desirous of travelling on the Palace on Wheels are turned down everyday.

In view of such great demand, the The RTDC (Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation) in association with India Railways and Government of India has launched another Palace on Wheel – Royal Rajasthan on Wheels. The train will start its first commercial run from Jan 2009.

More Luxuries on Offer
The new Palace on Wheels or the Royal Rajasthan on Wheels is far more luxuirous than the first one. Glimpse these- as compared to the existing palace on wheels which has 130 passengers on board, the new Royal Rajasthan on Wheels will take only 82 passengers. The new luxury train also has 1 super deluxe saloon and 13 deluxe saloon as compared to only 14 saloons of the existing palace on wheels. The cabins are all for double occupancy and there is no option for trip occupancy. Additionally, there is also a spa car in Royal Rajasthan on Wheels. In Palace on Wheels, there is no spa car.

Within cabin too, the new Royal Rajasthan on Wheels offers more luxuries. You can enjoy more space with with bed and sitting area; study table and chairs; a cubical bathing space and Internet WI Fi system. All these facilities are not available in the existing Palace on Wheels.

Facilities that are common to both luxury trains include pantry in each sleeper car, each coach with an attendant to serve round the clock, channel music system and laundry service
