"Our Palace on Wheels is a great success story and we expect the Royal Rajasthan on Wheels will also be the same as we have added more onboard facilities in the latter," said the Rajasthan Minister of State for Tourism Usha Punia.
"The itinerary of the train will be same as Palace on Wheels except that it will go to Bikaner instead of Sawai Madhopur," she said, adding, "it would be more luxurious than Palace on Wheels."
However, Rajasthan has to pay haulage charges to the ministry as per the new policy formulated by railways for tourist trains.
