I came across plenty of new facts and revelations, regarding this luxury train. There are 14 coaches on the Palace On Wheels, named after former Rajput states and it has been rated as one of the ten best luxurious train journeys in the world. All the cabins were attached with a well-equipped lounge, library and bar, each decked up in a true Rajasthani style. I was facilitated with all modern amenities, yet all these came with a knack of royalty.

Majestic Bedroom
I spend my nights in one of the most beautiful bedrooms, which was similar to fairytale palaces. The bedroom was well made, keeping in mind the cultural ethos of the state, which was represented through the use of smashing furniture, handicrafts, painting and furnishings.

Exotic Delicacies
On my first day, I was seated near the window in the Maharaja and Maharani restaurants, along with an American couple. We were offered a range of Indian and Continental specialties. I picked up delicacies of traditional Rajasthani cuisine. I specifically enjoyed the smoked Rajasthani kebab - sule, bare-be-cued in about a dozen different ways.

The Sitting Lounge
At the end of my coach, there was a separate lounge where I relaxed and unwinded myself with a book or magazine, engaged in conversation with other fellow passengers, or simply watched the scenic beauty of the Indian countryside.

Bar
I've traveled to many places across the world, and made it a point to visit the various bars. But the time spent in the bar lounge of Palace On Wheels was simply a wonderful experience.
