Travelled by this train from Bangalore to Murudeshwar and back last month. I have never fallen in love with any other train route as much as this.
* 80% of the route is breathtakingly scenic.
* The train is sparsely populated after Mangalore station; usually when you take the Kerala routes, it is beautiful outside but the claustrophobic feeling inside the train takes the joy out of you
*...
more... Each station on the route is ultra clean and green!
* Take the SL coach even if 3A is available as you will not be able to enjoy the scenic beauty and smell of the Konkan in 3A
I want to take a train which goes the entire length of Konkan next time.
