The '''''Royal Orient''''' is an Indian luxury tourism train that runs between [[Gujarat]] and [[Rajasthan]], covering important tourist locations in the two states.

Modelled on the ''[[Palace on Wheels]]'', India's first luxury tourist train, the train offers tourists a taste of royal luxury while "showcasing the best of Indian culture and heritage".

==History==
The train started in 1994-95 as a joint venture of the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat and the [[Indian Railways]]. The livery follows a blue scheme to differentiate it from the Palace on Wheels.

The train did not do well in the initial years, with passenger occupancy dropping from 25 percent in the first year to 15 percent in subsequent years. However, after an overhaul in 2007, things started looking up and the train started making profits.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2001-08-09/ahmedabad/27242757_1_royal-orient-tcgl-14-saloon-train|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121024043909/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2001-08-09/ahmedabad/27242757_1_royal-orient-tcgl-14-saloon-train|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 October 2012|title=Royal Orient gives Palace on Wheels a run for its money|first1=Bharat|last1=Desai|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=9 August 2001}}</ref>

==Facilities==
There are 13 coaches in the train, named after erstwhile kingdoms of [[Rajputana]]. The coaches provide five-star hotel comforts to passengers. Cabins are furnished in a [[palatial]] style and have spacious baths attached. There are multi-cuisine restaurants that offer Rajasthani, Gujarati, Indian, Chinese and continental cuisine.

==Route==
The Royal Orient starts from [[Delhi Cantonment railway station]] and has stops at [[Chittorgarh]], [[Jaipur]], [[Udaipur]], [[Ahmedabad]], [[Mehsana]], [[Junagadh|Junagarh]], [[Veraval]], [[Gir National Park|Sasan gir]], [[Mandvi]], [[Palitana]] and [[Sarkhej]].

Some of the tourist spots covered are the [[Qutub Minar]], [[Red Fort]] and [[Jama Masjid, Delhi|Jama Masjid]] in Delhi, Chittorgarh Fort and [[Chittorgarh#Rani Padmini.27s Palace|Rani Padmini's Palace]] in Chittorgarh, [[Sabarmati Ashram]] in Ahmedabad, [[Lake Palace]] in Udaipur, the [[Gir Wildlife Sanctuary]] in Gujarat and the [[Hawa Mahal]] and [[Jantar Mantar]] in Jaipur.
