    If you are looking for that special life experience. then this is for you. Whilst I boarded with a lot of apprehension, it turned out to be quit pleasant, deep down Indian nationals are very pleasant towards foreigners. All clean bedding is provided, and we took precautions such as keeping valuables close to us whilst we slept. Don't expect a clock precision schedule, but you will get there eventually. great scenery. Be bold.
