Brilliant pictures and words. What a fab way to see India.
Hey Wilbur, you’re absolutely right, the rail network in India is massive – taking you the small villages in all corners of the country. Just sit in the window, and observe as life passes by, the co-passengers change as does the landscape and the food available on the stations! These journeys are quite an experience!
Nice post. Train journey is always fun and comfortable. Kerala is one of my favorite places.
We too love the train journeys, especially in India.
Trains are the lifeline of India and they offer some of the best journeys and memories. I loved the articles as there 7 train journeys I haven’t had. I am now eager to travel and enjoy on these train journeys.
Outstanding images, amazing captures!!
Thanks, Kishor!
Hi there. Amazing pictures, thank you for sharing with us! Great narration also, congrats!
Thanks, Andrei.
Superb pictures! 馃檪 Absolutely love the Dudhsagar falls photograph. Love train journeys for their diversity and childhood nostalgia! 馃檪
Hey Divyakshi, the sight of the Dudhsagar waterfalls was a mouth-wide-open mind freeze moment 馃檪
Simply beautiful!!! Outstanding images, amazing captures… Thanks for sharing. Love it.
Every train journey in India reveals so much beauty, right? Glad you enjoyed this collection!
I really wish to do the konkan train journey…superb pictures 馃檪
Hey Shweta, every time we are traveling by the Konkan Railway route we try to get in as much daylight as possible! 馃檪 The entire route is just breathtaking!
Simply beautiful. Awesome and breathtaking pictures. Great narration.
Thank you so much!
Oh my ! Breath taking pictures. I have always loved train journeys. They take you to places unexplored. What a marvel!
They do, don’t they? So many stories happen in juts one train journey! So glad you liked these photos from our train journeys.
I have not been to Dudhsagar by train but there is enough being said about it and your pictures have proven that it must be done. Thanks for the same.
Hey Ami, we are hearing contrasting reports of whether now, the Dudhsagar waterfalls can be visited by train. But if you can make it possible, you MUST go! Trust us when we say the pictures you have seen so far will pale in comparison to what’s before the eyes 馃檪
Outstanding images, amazing captures. Thank you for sharing, India is my love of the countries
Hey Cornelia, your love for India does come out in your images! Super glad you liked the images!
Wow! Stunning pictures. The most memorable train journeys for me are the narrow gauge toy-trains in from NJP to Darjeeling and from Kalka to Shimla. They are unforgettable.
Hey Maniparna, just reading the names of those stations is forming such beautiful images in my mind! We are yet to go on either of those journeys. Happy to know you enjoyed the pictures of our train journeys 馃檪
Yes, I loved your pictures… 馃檪
Another awesome post. Amazing pics.
Thank you, Rupam!
We love train journeys too, and I have many fond memories of journeys from Kolkata to Jamshedpur in my childhood. However of late things have become different. Toilets in the train leave a lot to be desired. On a recent journey from Jaipur to Jodhpur (6am types train) there was no food available throughout the almost 4 hour journey! We were starving! No food on the train, and most stations the train did stop at, had all the food stalls removed. I heard it was to make way for App based ordering of food in your coaches so you could order pizzas and burgers!
I want my local food! I want the aloo- poories, the samosas, bread pakoras, the local delicacies!
We reached jodhpur, famished and fed only on some biscuits!
You are so right about the toilets! And this news about the food situation is shocking. We are yet to come across this situation. On our last journey from Ernakulam, there was a lot of local food available. That’s the main part of what makes these train journeys memorable. I hope they don’t take away the true essence in the process of “development”.
Great, love to see the photographs too. I am from Kerala.
Lucky you, Vipin! We have enjoyed all the days we have spent in this God’s Own Country. We sincerely hope living there is also just as enjoyable.
Deadly scenes captured! It is long since I traveled in a train. I have to… just for the sake of riding one.
Yup yup! Get on a train, Indrani 馃檪
Wow! I am immensely fond of train journeys. What beautiful experiences you have! Not only do you cherish, you let us cherish the moments too – through your words and lens!!
Aww, thanks!
Beautifully captured!!
Thank you! 馃檪
