The Fairy Queen

AN INTRODUCTION

The Fairy Queen comes out of the Treasure Chest of the Indian Railways. It was in the year 1855, when the majestic Fairy Queen rolled out for the East Indian Railway. The engine, is probably the oldest working engine in the world. After over 142 years, the Fairy Queen rolled again on 1st February 1997 from Delhi. Finding its pride place in the Guinness Book of World Records and also National Tourism Award winner (1997 - 1998) this prestigious pristine beauty graces the National Rail Museum, New Delhi.

The Train consists of just one First Class Chair Car and a pantry car, all majestically hauled by the fabled Fairy Queen.

The Queen takes 50 discerning passengers, from around the world, on unforgettable two day weekend trips from Delhi to Alwar on selected days. From there, a short drive will take them to tiger country and an overnight stay at Sariska. The two-day package includes a night's stay at the Sariska (near Alwar) from where the tourists are taken around the Sariska Tiger Sanctuary. And yes the night stay at Sariska is full of entertainment, theme dinner with ethnic artists performing for you exclusively.
