As often, Indian trains are late. We did not deviate from this rule because our train started with a delay of 30 minutes and the delays then accumulated. Result: 2h30 delay in total. It’s part of the journey

We share compartments for 4 people, the opportunity to share some good times with the Indians.

Please note: Seat numbers are randomly distributed when booking tickets online. Therefore, on paper, you are not guaranteed to travel together if you have booked multiple tickets. It is therefore once on board that we negotiate its placement between passengers. In any case, remember to print one ticket per passenger in case you are not in the same car in the end.

Tip:  When  booking your tickets  in AC 2 class, if you want to be together and installed upstairs in the cabin, tick 1 seat in “Upper” and 1 seat in “Side Lower”. You will thus increase the chance of being nearby if you are two travelers.

In the city

You have arrived in Jaipur. We give you  the best advice for getting around in this city of more than 2 million inhabitants.

We stayed 2 whole days and 3 nights in Jaipur. The pink city is a large city in the region of Rajasthan with  2.3 million inhabitants . The attractions of the city are especially present in the old fortified city nicknamed the pink city. You enter through one of the 7 doors.

From these gates, wide avenues lead to the heart of the city. There is a dusty and tumultuous atmosphere , frantic activity and unbridled traffic. Rickshaws rub shoulders with buses, bicycles, motorbikes, pedestrians, but also cows.

There are still typical alleys in the old center  , not always clean, of course, but where traffic is limited. This is where Indians jostle amid  stalls and artisan shops .
