If my memory is right I paid only about US$50 for the train which is extremely cheap.
I got a bed out of 4 bed compartmental section.
The route traverseed exactly middle of India amid extremely hot dry season.
I would never forget the beautiful twilight while train was running with maximum speed.
And I would never forget the wild wind-wirl against myself while one of my hands grabbing the handle of train and the other one for camera and half of my body got out of the train for better shots..
The travel was really wonderful to feel the wonderland of India of its vastness and its difference though it's just a little bit of 26 hours only...
I found my name on the Passenger List and it was a kind of different feeling to have my name glued on the outside of the train. ^,^
