Welcome
to the 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
pleasure of Raj culture. Special,
because your journey will take you and
your family back in time : to the age of
Maharajas. To carry you
there is the world's most exotic
trains. Weave through two of
India's most culturally fascinating
states, Gujarat and Rajasthan. Cross the
great Indian desert at nights and take
day trips to fascinating places by
luxury coach.
Feel
the spirituality of an ancient Jain
temple-city, soak your feet in the warm
water of the Arabian Sea and laze on the
beach, Safari in jungles to see the only
lions outside Africa, and shop for
exquisite handicrafts as old as history
in shops blaring Michael Jackson music.
A
joint venture of the Tourist Corporation
of Gujarat Limited and the Indian
Railways with thirteen coaches and
saloons, The Royal Orient promises you
seven memorable days and nights.
Multi-cuisine
restaurant with the "Watering
Hole" Bar, with all your favourite
drinks and some new ones too!, running
hot and cold water, spacious baths,
clean and comfortable cabins, furnished
better than may 5-star hotels, a Library
if you're looking for a truly quite,
laid-back time.
