Fairy Queen

Fairy Queen Train Tour

True, it is just a two-day journey but the lavish interiors and facilities more than make up the short coming, no to mention the breathtaking landscapes along the way. The Fairy Queen is a proud holder of the Guinness Book of World Records title and the National Tourism Award. It is also the world’s oldest running vintage steam locomotive. It was built for the East India Railways by the British firm Kitson, Thompson and Hewitson in the year 1855. After a gap of 142 years, the Fairy Queen came back from being a mere eye-pleaser at the Railway Museum in Delhi and tooted and chugged again from February 1, 1997.

Seats at the train are limited to just 60 but they are first-class meaning utmost comfort. The Fairy Queen will make you feel like a Maharaja on a royal journey. To attend to your gastronomic pangs, there is a pantry car where one can dine in style by tucking into delicious food fit for the king. The large glass windows of the train ensure an enchanting view of rural countryside, forts and palaces and the unique and beautiful engine bogey of the train. For an unobstructed view, passengers can move to the beautiful lounge in the front. The 1 night/ 2 days journey is designed for those wanting to experience the beauty of Rajasthan's countryside and its rich wildlife without losing out on comfort and luxury.
