Yes, documenting her entire journey she wrote, “First sleeper train experience in India! First of all, buying train tickets in India as a foreigner is an experience in itself. And when you finally figure out how to book your ticket and think, “Yes! We have a train ticket!” think again. You might actually just be on a waiting list… sometimes a VERY long waiting list.”

She went onto add, “We booked our tickets as a group of three, and luckily, if at least one person in the group has a confirmed ticket, the rest of the group can still board the train and travel together. And that’s exactly what happened to us: ONE ticket was confirmed. So, onto the train we went!”
