Royal Rajasthan on Wheels is a popular name in the segment of luxury train tour. The brain child of Rajasthan Tourism and Development Corporation (RTDC) and the Indian Railways, Royal Rajasthan on Wheels was launched to accommodate the growing demand of luxury rail journeys in Rajasthan. Its launch was planned due to the exceptional popularity attained by Palace on Wheels for its opulence, refinement and facilities and its lucrative admirers were finding it difficult to get a vacant seat.
