In India there are a whole range of options and people will go for that bell curve there too between the 200 rs per day individuals and the 20,000 rs a day crowd, with most everybody falling somewhere in between. And this is perfectly alright, it's the way things work.

Couldn't agree more. And, it makes one neither more or less virtuous, or more or less open to the experience that is India to be at either end of the curve.

Come back Killerwhale. Have you left this (your) thread never to return?

We'd like to know what you've decided. Taking your mother on the PoW or some other wonderful magical Indian holiday!

Hello,

my wife and I spend in march a week on the POW and cannot recommend this train. The cabin was far away from "luxury". Especially the aircon was extremely loud and had just two levels: on or off. The dinner was in two shifts: the passengers in the first shift had to have dinner in 45-60 minutes to make place for the hungry passengers in the second shift.
The food itself was fresh and good but European style.
All together I think the train is not worth the money. If you want to visit India and all the great places (you can see during the journey with the POW) I recommend staying the nights in the Palaces and luxury hotels in the cities. They are very good and can keep up easily with the upper international standards.

cheers
