Starting its journey from Safdarjung Railway Station in New Delhi, the Indian luxury train covers various destinations which include Jodhpur, Udaipur, Chittorgarh, Sawai Madhopur, Jaipur, Khajuraho, Varanasi and Agra. Each of the destinations covered by Royal Rajasthan on Wheels has its own account to tell to its visitors.
A large number of destinations included in the train itinerary fall in the domain of Rajasthan which is characterized by romance, valor and diversity of culture.
All these places are the seats of erstwhile Rajputana rulers which now create a wonderful juxtaposition of old and new due to the infrastructural development symbolizing modernization and technological advancement. Even the wildlife sightseeing at Ranthambore National Park has a heritage factor associated with it because this wildlife sanctuary was the royal hunting grounds of Maharaja of Jaipur till 1955.
Crisscrossing the westernmost terrains of India, Royal Rajasthan on Wheels arrives in the Khajuraho district of Madhya Pradesh. The sleepy town of Khajuraho is mainly visited for its erotic temples which bears testimony to the fact that sensuality was not a taboo subject in India. Built by Chandela rulers in 10th century, these temples are fondly frequented for marveling at the artistic finesse of its creators.
Just like heritage and culture, religion too forms an intrinsic part of Royal Rajasthan on Wheels journey. Famous for its 100 bathing Ghats, evening Ganga Aarti and hordes of devotees, Varanasi is considered to be the ultimate destination for attaining salvation. It is said that a bath in the holy waters of the river Ganges purifies the soul and eliminate all the sins. Just a few miles away from Varanasi is Sarnath, famous for its association with Lord Buddha who delivered his first sermon here after the attainment of enlightenment.
On the penultimate day of Royal Rajasthan on Wheels journey, the train halts at Agra. While strolling through the corridors and alleys of monuments and mausoleums in Agra, you will come to know that Mughal rulers were the great benefactors of art and architecture. The white marble mausoleum ‘Taj Mahal’ is the pride and iconic symbol of Agra and is largely visited by the firm believers of true love. Both Sarnath and Agra are perfect examples of India’s cultural mix and religious tolerance. Hence, it will not be an overstatement to say that Royal Rajasthan on Wheels unravels the concoction of India’s heritage, culture and religion.
