Discover India by rail for the authentic local experience

Whilst the quickest way to string together a tour of India may be catching flights to Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata or any of the other major cities, train travel is undoubtedly the more colourful way to see the country.

India's rail network covers over 63,000km, and Wanderlust magazine has this week published its definitive guide to getting around the subcontinent on a packed commuter train.

"There is nothing to match the views of India seen from a train window," Anthony Lambert writes on the travel publication's website.
