Palace on Wheels
is a luxury train tour of India. This tour package exoplores different
moods of India. The Journey begins from New Delhi & first step is
Jaipur.
A city like Jaipur, where modernity and traditions live hand-in-hand,
is truly rare. Perhaps this is what makes it an attractive destination
for tourists who flock to Jaipur, year after year. The lively spirit
of fanfare, festivity and celebration adequately matches the colourful
and intricately carved monuments. Even today, one can find weather beaten
faces with huge coloufrul turbans, savage moustaches and lips that spontaneously
crease into a heart warming smile.
Jaisalmer, the City of Forts & Palaces is the next destination.
Rising from the heart of the Thar Desert like a golden mirage is the
city of Jaisalmer. A commanding fort etched in yellow sandstone stands
with all its awesome splendor, dominating the amber-hued city. Jaisalmer
is famous for its Fort, Palaces & Havelies.
Jodhpur, the Blue City, is the next destination & is located at
the edge of the Thar desert and is the largest city in Rajasthan after
Jaipur. The city is dominated by a massive fort, topping a sheer rocky
ridge right in the middle of the town. Jodhpur was founded in 1459 by
Rao Jodha, a chief of the Rajput clan known as the Rathores. His descendants
ruled not only Jodhpur, but also other Rajput princely states.
Sawai Madhopur is the next place to visit. Sawai Madhopur is close to
Ranthambore where you can see various wildlife species including the
mighty Tiger. From Sawai Madhopur, you reach Chittaurgarh, for the famous
Victory Tower & Fort.
Udaipur, the City of Lakes is the next destination of our journey. In
Udaipur, the visitor finds his dream of India come true for the city
combines real beauty with picturesque associations of a great and glorious
past. It stands in a valley, amid green hills on the banks of the wide,
blue lake pichola. One of the major attractions of Udaipur is the Lake
Palace Hotel, a Palace converted into Heritage Hotel, located in the
middle of Lake Pichola.
From Udaipur, we reach Agra - A city known for the famous monument of
love - the Taj mahal. Taj was constructed by the Mughal Emperor, Shah
Jehan. It is said he built this monument in the memory of his beloved
wife Mumtaj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is ethereal at any part of the day
- blushing in the rosy glow of dawn or sunset , appearing like a pearly
mirage in the moonlight or reflected in the pools of the garden . Perhaps
the most moving view of the Taj is from an octagonal tower in the Agra
Fort further along the river Yamuna . It was here that the emperor Shah
Jehan was imprisoned and where he spent his last days gazing at the
tomb of his beloved. Other important places in Agra include the Red
Fort, Sikandra and Fatehpur Sikri.
From Agra, Bharatpur National Park is next destination for some more
wildlife.
We reach Delhi where the tour concludes.
