The Royal Orient is one of the world's
most exotic trains. It is a rare delight, an experience
that will take you back in time to the age of the Maharajas.
The train takes you through the two culturally fascinating
states of Gujarat and Rajasthan.
A joint venture of the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat
and the Indian Railways, the Royal Orient promises you
seven memorable days and nights. Your experience on
the Royal Orient will be unique and unforgettable; in
a luxurious setting with personalized service from liveried
attendants. There are thirteen coaches and saloons,
inspired from the mighty kingdoms. The train is fitted
with all the modern conveniences you would expect in
a first class hotel. Air-conditioned ambience keeps
the temperature down to 15 degrees. Every cabin is clean,
comfortable and furnished tastefully. The cabins have
spacious baths attached to them, equipped with running
hot and cold water. There are multi-cuisine restaurants
to tickle your taste buds, as well as a bar- The Watering
