Hey fellow travelers!
I’ve been looking into planning a luxury train journey through India and came across the famous Palace on Wheels Train. It looks incredible—like stepping back into the era of kings and queens!
I wanted to start a thread to share and discuss useful information for anyone interested in this royal train experience.
Here’s what I’ve learned so far:
The fare depends on the type of cabin you choose—deluxe or Superdeluxe. Prices start from around $5,000 USD per person for 7 nights. This includes meals, guided tours, entrance fees, and all onboard facilities. For Indian travelers, there may be special fares or discounts during off-season departures.
The journey is a 7-night, 8-day round trip from Delhi. It covers popular destinations like Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Chittorgarh, Ranthambore (for tiger safaris!), Bharatpur, and Agra (yes, the Taj Mahal is included!).
Palace on Wheels Train Experience:
The train is like a moving palace—each coach is themed, service is top-notch, and you get everything from onboard dining to guided sightseeing. It’s perfect for luxury travelers, honeymooners, or anyone looking to celebrate something special.
If you’ve been to the Palace on Wheels, or are planning to, I’d love to hear your experience!
Also, does anyone know about seasonal fare differences or tips on booking for the best price?
Let’s make this the go-to discussion thread for Palace on Wheels fare, routes, and travel tips.
