Heritage on Wheels: The Train



A journey into the past...

Experience the colorful Shekhawati region of Rajasthan onboard the new meter gauge Heritage on Wheels...

Backed by the global success of the Palace on Wheels, Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation and Indian Railways in their first ever endeavor take you on board The Heritage on Wheels, a luxury tourist train on meter gauge enroute to the unexplored regions of Bikaner and Shekhawati, famous beholders of the Heritage of Rajasthan.

Shekhawati Region
Rajasthan's Open-Air Art Gallery
No other region in India, or perhaps, even in the world, has such a large concentration of high quality frescoes as the region of Shekhawati. In the beginning, this semi-arid region had only its blank monochromatic palette to offer. No school of painting thrived till history and circumstances took up this colorless page and made it blossom with art for almost two centuries - from 1750 to 1930. Today, this region is commonly called this 'open-air art gallery of Rajasthan'.

Come on board the Heritage on Wheels and relive the past on a moving experience for three nights four days, twice a week from Jaipur or on a holiday package ex Delhi also twice a week.

Truly unforgettable!!!
