Travelling long distance in trains is often a matter of concern rather than excitement especially for regular travellers. The reason is simple that long journeys often become boring. Why not think on some easy ways to make your long train journeys exciting in this upcoming year. Although long train journeys do not mean that it will take 3-4 days to reach your destination in India even if it is the farthest planned. Indian Railways now run superfast trains for the convenience of the travellers with lesser stop-overs. However, still covering long distances like travelling from North to South India takes anywhere between 24 to 32 hours for travellers. This is where you need to plan your journey and carry some great ideas to keep yourself engaged during the journey. 

How to make your train journey exciting?

·       Reading is one of the most loved ways to spend time in train. So, go grab some good books readily available on the main stations of Indian Railways. If you have children travelling with you, you can even buy some for them like comics and story books. This will also engage them in the journey and rather comfortable for you as well. You can also pick some books on the places of interest in the city you are visiting.

·       Look for a good company on the journey if you are travelling all alone. Getting in a general conversation with the co-passengers is a good idea for time pass, however, make sure you do not reveal the ins and outs of your personal details. You cannot really trust the strangers on the train. So, be careful while you are in the flow of spending time.

·    Satisfying your hunger is another big challenge in Indian Railways. But no more, with some remarkable food services that bring best food for train travel anytime anywhere you want. Yes, you read it right. So, whatever is the craving, South Indian, Chinese, North Indian food, all is now available online with mere a few taps on your phone. Order your meal half an hour before your train reaches the station you want the delivery at and leave the rest on them.

·     A good sleep is something that you can enjoy while on a long train travel. So, if you have been having sleepless nights before the journey, here’s your chance to get over the trauma of sleep. Get relax and have a good sleep so that you are all fresh when you reach your destination. If fast trains and vibrations disturb you in sleeping, carrying headphones will help you fall asleep while you listen to music.

·       You can even carry some games like ludo, chess, cards etc. if you are travelling in a group of more than 2. There are some games like Sudoku which can be played as a solo traveller. Someone with a passion of singing can engage and entertain other passengers too. So, carry a guitar if you play and the journey can even bag appreciation and great contacts for you.

With these ideas, you are sure to avoid some pains of long journeys, however, the plight of getting best food for train travel may still be your concern. Food delivery in train Vadodara station offers, is what you can avail. Order food online from the restaurant chains you like and stay rest assured of the quality and hygiene.
