The Number on the Ticket
The base fare for one person, one week, peak season on the Palace on Wheels sits at roughly ₹4.5 lakh, and that is the entry point, not the ceiling. Suites classified as "Deluxe" push closer to ₹6 lakh. The train runs a circuit through eight destinations: Jaipur, Sawai Madhopur, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bharatpur, and Agra. Seven nights. Eight cities. The Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation and Indian Railways operate it jointly, and the rolling stock is genuinely old, the coaches were originally built in the 1980s, refurbished over the decades, and carry names drawn from the royal households of the former princely states: Alwar, Jaipur, Bikaner, Bundi.
