The Train

Fairy Queen, the vintage train of Rajasthan and the oldest running vintage steam locomotive in the world is the perfect choice for travelers who wish to “experience” than just be a spectator of the heritage past of India. It was built in the year 1855 by the British firm Kitson, Thompson & Hewitson for the British firm East India Railways.
A Guinness Book of World Records holder and winner of the National Tourism Award, the Fairy Queen has a 60-seater air-conditioned chair car specially designed with a large glass window from where you can have a frontal view of the Locomotive, besides there is a well maintained pantry car for on board catering. As an added attraction, the coach has a beautiful lounge in the front, which provides a scenic view of the countryside.
This pristine beauty with the privileged 60 select guests reaches the picturesque town of Alwar in Rajasthan the same day when it departs from Delhi, from where the guests are taken to Sariska Tiger Reserve for an overnight stay. Accommodation provisions are done at the Heritage hotel Sariska Palace and for entertainment there are traditional cultural programmes and last but not the least Jeep Safari in the Tiger Sanctuary.
A unique two days all-inclusive package combining thrill, romance, wildlife and steam heritage on the Fairy Queen. Go ahead and book your journey back into time.
