THE ROYAL ORIENT TRAIN


WELCOME ABOARD THE ROYAL ORIENT !

Welcome to a rare delight, a special experience. 
Rare, because in our fast-paced lives, it is not often that we can take time off to unwind and taste the pleasures of our own culture.  Special, because your journey will take you and your family back in time : to the age of the Maharajahs.  To carry you there is THE ROYAL ORIENT  - one of the World's most exotic trians. 

Weave through three of India's most culturally fascinating states, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Diu.  Cross the great Indian desert at nights, and take days trips to fascinating places by luxury coach.

THE ROYAL ORIENT will transport you to palaces and forts steeped in legends of heroism and chivalry.  You will feel the spirituality of an ancient Jain Temple-city.  You will soak your feet in the warm waters of the Arabian Sea and laze on the beach.  You will safari in jungles to see the only Lions outside Africa.  You will shop for exquisite handicrafts as old as history - in shops blaring Micheal Jackson music. 

And you will do so in style.  THE ROYAL ORIENT has been provided with personalized sevice that only royalty was privileged with.  A cuisine truly fit for kings and queens.  Thirteen coaches and saloons, inspired from mighty kingdoms.

A joint Venture of the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited and Indian Railways,   THE ROYAL ORIENT promises you seven memorable days and nights.

Days and Nights that you will always remember and cherish.  Waking up to see the Aravali range spanning the horizon.  Watching the moon lift up slowly through the twilight to glimmer on domes and minarets of a bygone era.

And, memories of liveried attendants spoiling you the way they did the Maharajahs of old.  An Unforgettable Experience.

THE ROYAL ORIENT is fitted with all the modern conveniences you would expect in a first class hotel :

Air-Conditioned ambience that keeps the temperature down to 15 Degrees.  The "WATERING HOLE" Bar, with all the favourite drinks - and some new ones too !

Running hot and cold water, spacious baths, clean and comfortable cabins, furnished better than many 5 - star hotels. 

Multicuisine restaurants to tickle your taste buds.  A library if you're looking for a truly quite, laid back time.
