The passenger coaches which were
originally meant to be the personal
railway coaches of the erstwhile rulers of
princely states of Rajputana, Gujarat, the
Nizam of Hyderabad and the Viceroy of
British India. These coaches were not
being used by the Indian Railways after
independence in normal passenger trains
on account of very rich and traditional
interiors.

derived from its royal back-ground of the
coaches. A new meter gauge air
conditioned Palace-on-Wheels was
introduced in 1984 & had 13 Saloons, 2
Restaurant cum Kitchen car, one Bar cum
Lounge and 4 Service Cars. In order to
further increase the amenities on the
train and due to over all gauge
conversion in the state, a new broad
gauge Palace-on-Wheels has been
constructed and has been running since
1996. T he interiors of the saloons reflect
the aesthetics of the former Royal states
of Rajasthan. The exquisite and exclusive
Palace on Wheels has luxurious Cabins,
wall to wall carpeting, a well stocked bar,
two dining cars
(The Maharaja and Maharani) and a very
personalized service... in fact, almost
everything that could comprise of heaven
