Travel Diary on the travels through this vibrant India
The Palace on Wheels was launched in 1982 as a joint initiative of the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation and Indian Railways. It is widely regarded as India’s first luxury heritage train and is designed to recreate the royal travel experience of Rajasthan through palace-style cabins, fine dining, guided excursions and curated cultural hospitality.
The new trains are being positioned as an important bridge between India’s spiritual heartland and Maharashtra’s major economic centres. The Banaras–Hadapsar route will improve access to Kashi Vishwanath Dham and connect Varanasi with Pune, one of India’s leading education, IT, manufacturing and defence-linked cities. The Ayodhya–Mumbai route will strengthen access to the Shri Ram Mandir Teerth Kshetra while giving passengers from eastern Uttar Pradesh and central India a direct, affordable link to Mumbai’s Lokmanya Tilak Terminus.
The rule is aimed at reducing disturbance to wildlife and restoring discipline inside safari routes. Similar measures have been reported in other protected areas, with some parks asking visitors to deposit phones at entry gates and others requiring devices to remain switched off during the drive.

Like many of those traveling to India, I have just finished my three-year army service. During my time as a soldier I served as a tank commander in various parts of the country.
