Bring only what you need, include snacks, a water bottle, power bank, wet wipes, and a small blanket or shawl.
Secure your preferred seat or berth by booking early. Window views and side berths go fast!
Train food can be hit or miss, pack home-cooked meals or use trusted food apps like IRCTC e-catering.
Keep your phone and devices fully charged. Bring a power bank- not all charging points work onboard.
Use chains and locks to secure your bags under the seat, especially during overnight journeys.
Beat the crowd! Reach the station early and check coach positions on the display boards to avoid last-minute running.
No Wi-Fi? No problem! Download music, movies, books, or podcasts before your journey to stay entertained.
Traveling by train offers a wonderful opportunity to socialize, but it's important to remain vigilant, particularly regarding your possessions and personal information.
