Rajasthan, a much desired destination for elite weddings, is renting out its iconic trains for the purpose.
Aiming to make the state one of the best wedding destinations in the world, Rajasthan Tourism has also come up with new wedding packages in two of its luxury locomotives, ‘‘Palace on Wheels’ (POW) and ‘Royal Rajasthan on Wheels’ (RROW).

The new incentive package has also been well received by tour operators and travel agents,” said Ashutosh A T Pedenekar, Director of Tourism.
