Once land of Rajputana princedoms Rajasthan is home to some of the most resplendent fortresses, spectacular palaces and havelis along with rich cultural heritage and diverse wildlife. With the aim of promoting tourism in the state, the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation along with Indian Railway launched India's first Indian luxury train on 26th January' 1982.
