Travelling by train in India is like opening up a book on human stories and landscapes. Each ride tells tales of resilience, culture, and history, no matter the challenges. As the train winds through diverse terrains and climates, it becomes clear why Jawaharlal Nehru called his country a palimpsest — each layer of its past influences the present in profound ways. With May temperatures soaring to around 31°C in India, hopping on a night train can be a refreshing way to traverse vast distances while enjoying cool interiors and vibrant day views from your window.
