India Rail Tours – Preferred By Masses and Classes

Travelling by train is one of India’s classic experiences. Serving millions of commuters, pilgrims and leisure tourists in their movement within the country, Railways of India are a preferred medium of transportation by masses and classes. Conceived by the British imperialists, this institution has become quintessentially Indian over the 150 years of its successful journey.

Connecting the lengths and breadths of India through 60,000 km network of track and 14,000 locomotives, the railways here serve the average of 12 million passengers every day throughout the year. These humungous numbers highlight the reach, network and popularity of trains in the country. Keeping the high demand and popularity in mind, it is suggested to book the train tickets two months prior to the journey in advance. This is done to derive a hassle free train long distance tour without any uncertainty.

Presently, the travel options of a regular train tour are distinguished between many classes of travel. Different types of train carry different classes of carriages throughout the course of the journey. The basic range of travelling for tourists starts with the first class a/c. This is the most plush and comfortable seating to be utilized during the regular train journey. The highest luxury class in the regular routes, it consists of two-tier bunks in two- or four-person private compartments which can be locked; offering privacy and comfort to the travellers. The carpeted compartments with relatively presentable bathrooms also assure travellers of a timely assistance by the attendants (aboard superfast trains like Duronto and Rajdhani.) The fares for first class journey may be higher than the regular train fares but assure the travellers the maximum comfort on a train. This is certainly the safest way to a secured and private train journey. But if you want to have a regular train journey to interact with others, then second class ac (two-tier) and third class ac (three-tier) coaches are meant for you. Third class ac is preferred by masses. 

The he importance of the berths and coaches is very important in rail tour. They not just accommodate the travellers during their journey but also make sure they have a comfortable time. Before choosing the train tour to India, we suggest the tourists to consider the seating class of the train to secure the best and comfortable railway journey to remember for a lifetime.
