The Palace On Wheels traveltips

Always use the services of the licensed guides of the Govt.
Use sunglasses, caps and parasols for protection from sun. Carry your swimming gears, if you wish to swim at hotels.
Shop at government authorized counters/ emporiums i.e. Rajasthali at Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur & Agra.
Do not change money through unauthorized dealers. It may turn out more expensive. Also it is illegal.
The lure of the lavish hospitality extended by strangers is avoidable. Women in particular should be alert!

Do not encourage beggars and hawkers.
Do not carry valuables while on safari.
