a great train ride or two

jalebiwallah · Dec 8th, 2005, 19:59

I'm contemplating taking a few weeks at the end of my trip to take the two longest train trips through India that I can find (One from the south back up north and the other east to west or vice-versa). Any suggestions? I don'tplan to get off on the route, but nice staring and ending points would be appreciated. Also what's the longest anyone has been on a train? I'm thinking three nights non-ac sleeper could be interesting (sleep deprivation not withstanding).

One of the trains would have to be the Himsagar Express.

India's longest train journey, The Himsagar Express

This train travels between Kanyakumari and Jammu, it has the old non AC first class (though I have doubts if this carriage goes north of Delhi).

First Class (not air con) = Rs 2479

Then maybe the Amritsar - Dibrugarh (Upper Assam) express. (5933/5934)

Dear jalebiwallah,
Another train that you may consider is Okha-Guwahati Express (Weekly), a perfect West to East Train which runs for 3296 Kms. with a journey time of 70 Hours. Please have a look at its route:-
