The History of the Luxury Train

rulers of the princely states of Gujarat and Rajputana, the Viceroy of
British India and the Nizam of Hyderabad.
After independence, the palaceonwheels- the luxury train of India was
abandoned and it was not until the early 1980s that the train was
reconsidered. The Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation and the Indian
Railways decided to introduce it as a special heritage tourist train to
Rajasthan. Since then, the train has entertained people from all over the
