Thank you, Ashish, for your comment and kind words. Yes, as a middle-class Indian I love to travel in regular trains rather than these luxurious ones. Regular trains offer you the fresh air than these trains do not offer, but this post is a part of a train-series which I wrote for my readers. If you love trains, do read my other 3 posts on trains as well and I’m sure you’ll find plenty of information that will surprise you. India, as you said, is truly amazing.

Your post just reminded me of my school days when we used to visit our grandparents place in kerala, during summer vacations. Three day journey, covering all terains and places. Each day you wake up with a different landscape in front of you. Train rides just make you realise that no matter what the destination may be, but the journey is always beautiful. For me trains are also a metaphor for living in the present, see the sky change its color and landscapes unfold in front of you. A luxury ride in one of the above trains would be a treat in itself, but I would still prefer a ride along these routes in a sleeper compartment where the morning fresh air of the mountains can wish you morning and the stars filled sky can put you to a peaceful sleep. You just made me nostalgic in short 🙂

Thanks for such a beautiful yet informative post.

India is amazing.

Indian culture is not afraid of color, which both Mitchell and I love too. Being in the upholstery conservation business, the love of fabric and trims is also there for us — he looked over my should on this one. I wish we could travel — I’d do one of these in a heartbeat. BTW, American dollars?

I haven’t ride it, but I have touched and felt it when I was in school. I was pretty scared of his giant size, I felt like I was a pea in front of a pumpkin.

Have you?

I believe The Golden Chariot. I love the decor and feel of the interiors and the destinations would be very intriguing to me.

Hope you enjoyed it. So which train you liked the most? Why?

And such a sharp contrast to the everday railway that the people travel for work and daily life.
