To have a great train travel, follow these eight simple tips and you will have something to cherish forever:

Let Your Eyes Explore the Natural Beauty: India has magnanimous stretches of picturesque landscapes that will just take your breath away. All you’ve got to do it look out the train window and admire the lush green fields, the sunkissed skies, the gently winding river streams and the rustling sound of tree leaves as you pass by.

Lose Yourself in a Good Book: You can vile away your time perfectly by reading an interesting book when you travel. Reading may leave a constant smile on your face. It can even push your imagination to a new level.

Though train travel doesn’t guarantee internet access all the time, you can definitely take some selfies or pictures, use an app to enhance the beauty and make yourself feel good. You can also watch a sweet rom-com or an adventurous flick to pass your time.

Learn More about Your Destination: In case, you are heading off to a new place, knowing more about it will give you more destination goals. Go through the local map, take note of the hidden tourist spots, read about the culture, etc.

But talking to a fellow passenger may just be a start to a new friendship or at least a good story time. There’s no denying that it can turn to be a life-changing experience but one should still be careful of belongings and the company even after the most incredible conversation.
