Palace On Wheels
A joint venture of Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation and Indian Railways, Palace on Wheels, India's first tourist train, started rolling from the year 1982. The elegant coaches of this unique train were conceived from the original and personal railway coaches of the erstwhile rulers of the princely states of Rajputana and Gujarat, the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Viceroy of British India, used on bridal journeys, hunting parties and occasions of state visits.
