<\/a>In 1982, a luxury tourist train, the Palace on Wheels<\/a> was launched by the Indian Railways to promote tourism in Rajasthan; the concept for which was derived from the personal railway coaches of the erstwhile rulers of princely states in India. The Palace on Wheels begins its 8-day travel at New Delhi and travels around Rajasthan stopping at Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Sawai Madhopur, Chittaurgarh, Udaipur, Bharatpur, Agra in Uttar Pradesh, ending once again in New Delhi. Ironically, the Government of India had originally restricted the experience of this luxury train to foreign nationals. It was, however, later opened up to Indians. The Palace on Wheels was refurbished and re-launched in 2009.<\/p>\n![\"Palace](\"https:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/palace-on-wheels-8-150x150.jpg\" "\\"Saloons")
