HERITAGE ON WHEELS TRAIN …

Experience the colorful Shekhawati region of Rajasthan onboard the new meter gauge Heritage on Wheels...


This is the second luxury tourist train in the state after the "Palace On Wheels" launched earlier by RTDC and Indian Railways Jan 26, 1982. The itinerary of the Heritage On Wheels has been planned in such a manner that tourists have an experience of the Shekhawati region - Bikaner-Nawalgarh-Ramgarh-Mandawa including Gajner and Tal Chhapar animal sanctuaries, said Vinod Zutshi, Rajasthan's tourism secretary. Tourists will get to see several manors and forts and experience the unique culture of the region.


Heritage On Wheels will run every Tuesday and Friday at 7.30 p.m. from Jaipur and reach Bikaner the next day at 6 a.m. At Bikaner, the tourists will be taken for sightseeing in coaches. From Bikaner, the train will proceed to Shekhawati, where there will be another sightseeing tour of surrounding areas. The train has nine salons with heritage decor and 72 berths, but the first run Friday had only 18 passengers on board. Each salon has a capacity to accommodate eight guests in four bedrooms.
