Benefits We Thought of Train Travel: Comfortable, Spacious, Able to sleep, Washroom availability, No Worries of Traffic, Safe During Night Travel
The Journey:
Our first meeting point was Delhi Railway Station. There were 3 new joiners accompanying us on the trip as well, the excitement level was so high that we all were at the station much before 11 PM for 11:45 Pm train.
Having our faces covered with mask, it was an identification parade for the new team members. Interestingly, next point of discussion was the huge difference between the size of our bags. I was carrying the biggest and another guy Deepak was having 1/10th of my bag’s size.
30-40 mins passed just like that.
Soon, train arrived before time and quickly we occupied our 1-AC cabins. The train was half empty due to Covid.
Knowing the new people is always fun. We spent next 2 hours eating, drinking, chatting and it looked like a never ending party but had to sleep as next day’s schedule was bit busy.
Our eyes opened to shouts (courtesy Deepak and Avishek) to get down from train as we reached Dehradun early morning right time at 4:45 AM. It was a comfortable 4 hours sleep for me at least. Outside, it was still dark, after spending 20-25 minutes at the station waiting room to freshen up, all of us had tea just outside station (except one who was worried of early morning pressure post tea).
From there, we booked two taxi till our resort (66 km) along with 2 hours stopover at Laxman Jhula for view and breakfast. Taxis were Swift Desire in Rs 1800 each.
