About Palace On Wheels:

Palace on Wheels : Since 1982, 43 Years of Royal Heritage Journey

Palace On Wheels is the First Indian Luxury Train started in 1982. The Palace on Wheels is India's first luxury tourist train launched by the Indian Railways in joint collaboration with Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC) to promote tourism in Rajasthan & India. The train was launched in 1982. Later, the train has been renamed as Heritage Palace on Wheels.

The concept of the Palace on Wheels was derived from the royal background of the coaches, which were originally meant to be the personal railway coaches of the erstwhile rulers of the princely states of Rajputana, Baroda, the Nizam of Hyderabad and mainly the Governor-General of India. Due to changes in the rail gauges over the years, after the launch of the first train in 1982, the second train was built in 1991 and the third train was built in 1995.

The train service was renovated and relaunched in 2024 with a new decor, itinerary and cuisine.
