Palace on Wheels Opening ceremony for the season 2013-14

One of the best thing to have happened this month was invitation to the Palace on Wheels opening ceremony. To travel on India’s most revered luxury train Palace on Wheels a long cherished dream of mine. I first heard the name when I joined Indian Holiday Pvt. Ltd.; the organization I work with. Palace on Wheels is the first luxury train to be launched in India in the lines of legendary Orient Express.
