About
The Royal Orient
 Welcome aboard The Royal Orient ! Welcome to a 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 pleasures
of our own culture. Special, because your journey will transport you,
and your family, back in time : to the age of the Maharajas. To take
you there is The Royal Orient - one of the world's most exotic trains.
Weave through two of India's most culturally fascinating states, Gujarat
and Rajasthan. Cross the Indian deserts at nights, and take day trips
to fascinating places by luxury coach.
The Royal Orient
will transport you to palaces and forts, steeped in legends of heroism
and chivalry. You can savour the palpable spirituality of an ancient
Jain temple-city. You can soak your feet in the warm waters of the Arabian
sea, and laze on the beach. You can safari in dense jungles, and feast
your eyes on the only surviving lions, outside of Africa. You can shop
for exquisite handicrafts, as old as time itself, in shops blaring Michael
Jackson music. The Royal Orient has been provided with personalised
service, the kind that only royalty were privileged with. A cuisine
truly fit for kings and queens. Thirteen coaches and saloons, inspired
by mighty kingdoms.
 A joint venture of the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited
and the Indian Railways, The Royal Orient promises you seven memorable
days and nights; those that will leave an indelible impression on your
consciousness - waking up to see the Aravalli range spanning the horizon,
watching the moon gradually rise up, through the twilight to glimmer
on domes and minarets of a lost era, liveried attendants to take utmost
care of your every need.
The Royal Orient
comes equipped with all the modern conveniences you would expect - air-conditioned
cabins, the 'Watering Hole' bar with all your favourite drinks, running
hot and cold water, spacious baths, clean and comfortable cabins, multicuisine
restaurants and a library.
