The Palace on Wheels. Train travel is one of the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling. A tourist train with individual accommodation such as this means that you are able to see a wide range of places without having to constantly pack and unpack. Travelling in a train where you have your own cabin means that the journey becomes a positive part of the whole experience.
Indian railway stations are centrally located so the road transfer time from your accommodation (the train) to the place of interest is kept to a minimum. Journeys between the train and the places of interest are by coach.
Chambal Safari Lodge is a family run eco-lodge nestled in 35 acres of reclaimed woodland, meticulously restored and renovated. It is a remote place and guests can therefore expect an erratic electricity supply (with a back-up generator) and limited water for washing, But what they can look forward to is wonderful home cooked food, a thoroughly authentic experience and the opportunity to see some of the most unusual wildlife India has to offer. The owners of the Lodge set out to create a sustainable project on their ancestral farm land and in doing so have helped a large number of the local population to improve their lives and have put the Chambal Valley (previously unheard of outside the immediate area) on the wildlife (and particularly birding) map.
