The Fairy Queen

The oldest working locomotive in the World, the 150 year old locomotive, rolls again. This train is more of the old engine pulling a regular first class rail car. Rather unlike the luxurious Palace on Wheels or the Royal Orient. One first class car and a pantry car. That is it! It is the romance of the loco that will attract people. Will it attract you? It Should!

The Fairy Queen reaches the picturesque town of Alwar in Rajasthan the same day, from where the guests will be taken to the Sariska Tiger Reserve for an overnight stay.

  • Departure from Delhi: 1000 hours.
  • Arrival at Alwar: 1300 hours.
  • Departure from Alwar: 1600 hours.
  • Arrival at Delhi: 1920 hours.
The two day trip will cost Rs 8,000 or approximately US $ 180. The ticket price includes lodging, boarding and train fare.
