Hello everyone,

I’m planning a luxury train journey on Palace on Wheels and wanted to start a thread for all travelers interested in this iconic train experience.

For those who don’t know, Palace on Wheels is one of India’s most famous luxury trains, offering an 8-day journey through Rajasthan and Agra in a royal, heritage-style setting.

I’d love to hear from:

  • Travelers who have been on the train – how was your experience?
  • Tips for booking – is it better to book early or wait for seasonal discounts?
  • Food and service – how’s the onboard dining and staff support?
  • Cabins – are the Deluxe Cabins worth it compared to the Super Deluxe Suites?
  • Best spots for photography during the trip.
  • Best season to travel for good weather and sightseeing.
I’ll share some basics below for those new to the train.
