The Route

This is the route. We start in Udhampur in the north and work our way down the country.

The beer is to blame

Just like most other crazy trip ideas, this too must have originated while drinking beer in a shady bar outside some godforsaken station. Was it Betul or was it Ferozpur? Nevertheless, the idea stayed and took shape. Soon we’ll be off again – this time from Udhampur to Kanniyakumari, only by diesel trains and by all three gauges.

A crazy 8 day, 5000km 5662km ride that will take us from the northernmost station in the country to the southernmost. Across a dozen states, we’ll cover the broad gauge, meter gauge and narrow gauge with just one vow – not to board a single electric hauled train. This one is for the smoking Alcos, transition jerks & token exchanges… carbon footprint be damned.

We start on 9th August.
