 After
the success story of the Palace on Wheels, the Rajasthan Tourism
Development Corporation Ltd and the Ministry of Railways, Government
of India have planned jointly to introduce a new luxury train
in India same like the Palace on Wheels. Royal Rajasthan on
Wheels came into existence and the first royal journey of this
train was flagged off on January 11, 2009.
The Royal Rajasthan on Wheels has been among the most anticipated
trains in the history of Indian luxury vehicles. Much of this
could be attributed to the fact that it is offering facilities
that have never been offered before by any Indian luxury train.
For example this train would enable you to access Internet from
the train itself. It is succeeding the Palace on Wheels that
has made its mark as a superb luxury transportation.
The Royal Rajasthan on Wheels has been equipped with the latest
facilities so that the tourists have no reason for complaints.
The travelers would be able to avail facilities like super deluxe
 saloons
and retro lounges at the Royal Rajasthan on Wheels – something
which has not been done before.
The haulage expenses of the Royal Rajasthan on Wheels
would be paid by the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation.
This would be as per the policies that have been laid down by
the Indian Railways with regards to luxury trains that are now
being launched in India.
Unlike the Palace on Wheels, the luxury coaches of the luxury
train Royal Rajasthan on Wheels are not renovated from the old
railway coaches of the Indian kings and maharajas. The coaches
and saloons of this train are made in contemporary style and
the soothing interiors of it match with the Palace on Wheels.
Now this luxury train in India is known as the Palace on Wheels
II and is one of the premier luxury trains in India.
 The
Indian Railways would have a share in the revenues earned by
operating the Royal Rajasthan on Wheels along with the Rajasthan
Tourism Development Corporation. 56% of the money would go to
the Indian Railways and Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation
would be getting 44% of the revenue thus generated.
