Sawai
Madhopur & Chittaurgarh One can almost sense a life of the wilderness, as the
Palace on Wheels arrives in Sawai Madhopur, a city named after
its founder Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I. After breakfast a
visit is arranged to the Ranthambhor National Park, wherein
are located the ruins of a 10th century fort. This
wildlife sanctuary is considered to be the country’s best for
observing and photographing the activities of the tiger. The
park, covering an area of 392 sq.kms. is home to more than 300
species of birds. The tiger, hyena, ratel, jackal and fox are
among those constituting the carnivorous population here.
Sawai Madhopur is known for its exclusive toys, ethnic
ornaments and costumes. Upon return to the Palace on Wheels,
you leave for Chittaurgarh, when one gets an opportunity to
watch the colourful countryside passing by in the
daylight.
After lunch on board
you are in Chittaurgarh. Images of love and valour; scars of
battles lost and won….thrice-beseiged, Chittaurgarh Fort is
all this and more.

the Lake City at 8:00 AM. It was founded by Maharana Udai

of Udaipur are the dream-like marble Palaces-the Jag Niwas (Lake Palace) and
the Jag Mandir, which appear to rise from the blue waters of
Lake Pichhola. After lunch a visit to City
Palace is exhilarating.
