New Delhi — Where the Royal Journey Begins
India's capital is the start and finish of every Palace on Wheels journey, with boarding at the historic Safdarjung Railway Station. A city where eight centuries of empires overlap, Delhi pairs the wide colonial avenues of Lutyens' New Delhi with the bazaars, mosques and tombs of Mughal Old Delhi.
Known for its UNESCO World Heritage monuments and its layered history, Delhi rewards an extra day before or after your train journey — and Palace Tours can arrange it.
