Kota Railway Station

Kota railway station is located at the extreme northern end of the town। As Kota is on the main Delhi–Mumbai railway line via Sawai Madhopur, a number of trains pass through and stop here.

Located in a small town called Gemas, this station, built in 1922 is functional till today as a changeover (stopover) for trains from the North (Butterworth), East Coast (Tumpat and Gua Musang) and the South (Singapore). Other than passenger trains, the station also accommodates cargo trains carrying major commodities such as cement, petrol, rubber and logs.

The station building has maintained its original structure and even now still houses two 1946 model North British Locomotive Company steam engines. If you are into nostalgia, do not miss the opportunity to strike a pose with these steam engines. In case you run into any difficulties, do not hesitate to ask assistance from the Station Master. In charge of all the operations; signalling, locomotive and sales, he will gladly come to your assistance.

If time permits, stay overnight in this small peaceful town. Savour the feel of fresh air in your face, the tranquil peace of the night and enjoy a respite away from the crowded scene of city life. You may also choose to tee-off to a round of golf at the 18-hole Gemas Golf Resort, a mere five minutes drive from the station.

Jaisalmer Railway Station

Train Tour Packages of Palace on Wheels Train, Royal Orient Train, Fairy Queen Train, Deccan Odyessey, Hill Station Train Tours, toy trains tours and luxury train trips around

Travel to exotic city of Rajasthan - Jaisalmer is a ideal abode to spend your holidays. The heritage city was once encompassed by an extensive wall, much of which has sadly been ripped away in recent times for building material. Some of it remains, however, including the city gates and, inside them, the massive fort which rises above the city and is the essence of Jaisalmer. The main market area is directly below the hill, while the banks, the new palace and several other shops and offices are near the Amar Sagar Gate to the west

Jaisalmer charms the tourists with its magical legends and feel of valor and idealistic zeal and the 'only living fort'. It is the most perfect blend of the old worldly charm with the stirring quality of the contemporary. There are churning sands and towering monuments with latticed stonework. The golden sands of the daytime take on almost fairy-tale facade by the silvery moonlight of the night along with the mellow music and perfect rhythmic performances of the multicolored desert people
