About Heritage on Wheels!!!
With the phenomenal success of the Palace on Wheels, the
Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation along with Indian
Railways and the Indian Government presents yet another
luxury train for those tourists who are desirous of exploring
the exotic interiors of Rajasthan. The train provides the
same luxurious treatment that is accorded to passengers
of the Palace on Wheels. The facilities and the environment
aboard the Heritage on Wheels are quiet similar to that
of the Palace on Wheels.
However, given so many similarities, there are certain
differences as well. Firstly the destinations covered by
this train are different from that of the Palace on Wheels.
Tourists are taken to a tour of what is known as the 'open
air art gallery of Rajasthan'- the Shekhawati region. Also,
what separates the Heritage on Wheels with the Palace on
Wheels is the number of days provided for tour. Whereas
it is 8 days and 7 nights in the Palace on Wheels, it is
just 4 days and 3 nights in the Heritage on Wheels. This
means that tourists who have lesser time on hand can also
enjoy the luxury of the royal people while exploring Rajasthan.
Moreover, it means that the cost incurred on this trip is
much less than that of the Palace on Wheels.
The Heritage on Wheels has started functioning from 17th
Feb, 2006.
Destinations covered by Heritage on Wheels: -
Jaipur - Bikaner - Haat - Gajner - Tal Chhapar - Ramgarh
