Have you ever wondered what life on wheels would be like? How the Maharajas and Viceroys of the bygone era were on the go? Let us introduce you to one such royal experience in itself, India’s First Luxury Train Palace On Wheels. It added yet another charm to the beautiful lush green Durgapura Railway Station. Before we take you on its tour, let us first make you familiar with its rich history that it beholds.
Introduced in 26th January, 1982, did you know that the Palace on Wheels derives its name from the royal background of its guest coaches which are the replica of the personal carriages used by the Maharajas, Nizams & the Viceroys of that time? To give a prestigious experience of the luxuries enjoyed by then Maharajas when they were on the go to the tourists and localites, Palace on Wheels was started by the Tourism Department of Rajasthan and since then it has never stopped. It has everything that you can imagine.
