About Heritage on
Wheels
The Heritage on Wheels is the 2nd luxury train of
Rajasthan, it was designed and developed by the Rajasthan
Tourism Development Corporation and Indian Railways, after the
overall success of the Palace on Wheels.
In the beginning, The Heritage on Wheels runs only in Gujarat
and was known as the Royal Oriental Express. Afterwards this
train also runs in Rajasthan and was converted to the Heritage
on Wheels.
The Heritage on Wheels is a very lavish tourist train which
runs through the unexplored areas of Shekhawati and Bikaner in
Rajasthan. Shekhawati has a large amount of high quality
frescoes. Today, Shekhawati is generally known as 'open-air
art gallery of Rajasthan'.
Shekhawati is simply beautiful. Bikaner, the royal fortified
city lies in the north of the desert state, and dotted with
many sand dunes. Bikaner is bounded by a 7 km long wall with
five gates. The wonderful forts and palaces created with
gracefulness in reddish-pink, sandstone, is a proof of the
historical and architectural legacy of Shekhawati. |
