Rail holidays in India
Alongside the sacred River Ganges, trains are the lifeblood of India. They help with the flow and the rhythm of the nation. They keep things moving as chai wallahs pass through carriages and sleeping passengers rock in time with the tracks. Find the real India on a railway holiday to really remember.
