Luxury tourist train, Palace on Wheels, also called the pride of Rajasthan tourism, will soon render its services across iconic cities of Rajasthan. The state’s Tourism Development Corporation has decided to run the first trip of this train from October 12. A trial run will be held on September 28 to check all the amenities and security features of the train.

Reportedly, other officials, including the technical team and RTDC president Dharmendra Rathod, will be present in the trial run of the train.

Chairman Dharmendra Rathod said, “RTDC is committed to running Palace on Wheels on time in this tourist season. For this, all the issues have been resolved. After implementing the ‘Bharat Gaurav Train Policy’ on behalf of the Ministry of Railways, the Cabinet has approved the operation of the Royal Railway on the 4M model under the ownership of the Royal Rail with RTDC, ensuring fixed revenue on the new pattern."

One night fare of this train per head is fixed at Rs 55,000. However, during the off-season, one can get tickets for as low as Rs 43,000. The maximum fare is up to Rs 1.54 lakh (booking of at least three days), which includes accommodation and food. Meanwhile, services like laundry, spa, and beverages like wine, and beer will be charged separately. For children up to 5 years, the travel is free, while half the fare is charged for the age group of 5 to 10 years.
