Experience Shared by the Traveller
I was looking for a trip to India without much concerns about hotel stays, dining and transportation, as I was travelling with my family, so a luxury train tour would always be the best option for me. At first I tried for a reservation in the Palace on Wheels, as this was the only luxury train I knew before. But somehow I missed Palace on Wheels and resorted to the Royal Orient Train Tour. Being in the Royal Orient train is like being at home, not even for a single moment did I feel the exertion of tour. My son Jeany walked around in the train just like he would do at home. This train blinks like a meteorite in the night sky and appears like an anaconda in daylight. The luxury is unsurpassed and comparable to any other luxury train. This train came as a relief to me because my wife Sheron is bit scared of the rustic road trips so I had to find luxurious ground means of travel. This train explores all the destinations of Rajasthan that people literally long to visit. I was particularly enthralled with the visit to the Amber Fort of Jaipur. Moreover, the train offers meals that are the delicacies of royal Rajasthan and I relished every supper, lunch or breakfast that were served to us. The cuisines were so well cooked that it suited the taste needs of my children. I admire the saloon of the 13-boogie train that is furnished with all royal ambiance and is a really refreshing hermitage, built within the train. I truly admire the courtesy of the staff of the Royal Orient and love their constant willingness to be at my service. So, in a nutshell I truly liked the Royal Orient Train Tour.
