Ignite what does it mean..an Indian citizen would definitely use an Indian passport..and if he is using his passport then he/she has to take the Visa..
Only Nepal is where Indians do not need a passport..

Thats what I was wondering, if i need to get a visa or not, because I have dual citizenship, and with my US passport I dont need a visa for Mexico or Canada. So I was wondering if I still need a visa for Bangladesh if I have an Indian passport, but I guess Nepal is the only country that I dont need a visa for.
This train will run twice in a week i.e. Saturday & Sunday.Indians need visa prior to enter Bangladesh.Indian Railways pantry car will not go upto Dacca.The pantry staff alongwith their materials will be disembarked at Darshana.I don't know what will happen in other side.

Most Horrible part of this Train Journey will be
at Gede(Indian side ) / Darsana ( Bangladesh side )
border, where passenger has to get off from the
train with their luggages to Clear Immigration
and custom formalities and then board the Train
again, on Very first day it took 3 hours on
Indian side and about 15-20 minutes on Bangladesh
side, Hopefully the service will be better
in coming days.
