Spreading the Word palace on wheels
Talking about the efforts of the authorities, the tourism department is not just promoting the regal vehicle in India but it also plans to spread the word at international level.

Heritage on Wheels
Heritage Palace on Wheels is the modified version of Palace on Wheels that was launched in December 2017. It covers some unexplored regions like Bikaner and Shekhawati that possess the Heritage of the state. As compared to the previous iteration Palace on Wheels (POW), this one targets the upper middle class and hence the prices have been slashed to almost half the previous fare.
