There is a pantry car for on-board catering and service of food to the guests travelling on the train. As an added attraction, the coach has a beautiful lounge from where you can have a scenic view of the countryside.


The train operates on the Delhi-Rewari-Alwar-Rewari –Delhi route. The guests get to enjoy cultural programme followed by dinner at a hotel in Alwar followed by a Tiger Safari the next day morning.

The Dadhikar Fort :


The Dadhikar Fort, Almost 1100 years ago, around 9-10 century, a residential camp was made in the dense forests amidst the Aravali Hills in Matsya Janpad area by a deserted family of King Chand who had to leave his capital named Abhanagari(the place of grace), now known as Abhaneri after having lost everything in flood there. The word ‘Dera’ denotes camp and thus, place was called as ‘Derakar’ i.e. to make a camp. Gradually with passage of time the name changed and now it is known as Dadhikar, Alwar. This history is supported with the folk song sung by the people of these areas.


Later on, keeping in view the beauty of nature and the safest place all around they permanently settled here, and resided here before moving Nikumbh Mahal (Bala Qila) presently in Alwar and thereafter Dadhikar became the usual place for military camps and manufacturing of battle arms.


The sign of old civilization and its gradual development can apparently be observed here since the Aravali Hills concealing deep caves with ancient rock paintings, Similarly, these are small villages at distant place spreading in the area with least population keeping alive the old culture and traditions.


With the Passage of time, the Fort had gone in to very dilapidated condition which has now been restored its original form renovating with modern necessities to bring the graceful history of the Dadhikar on the world map.

Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
