‘Buying train tickets in India is an experience’: Danish tourist recalls first overnight train ride

Danish tourist Emma Holm documented her first overnight train journey in India on Instagram.

She detailed the challenge of booking train tickets as a foreigner, noting they ended up on a waiting list.

Only one of three friends had a confirmed ticket, but the group could board due to the rule allowing groups with at least one confirmed ticket.

The trio initially shared a single narrow seat before railway staff arranged two more berths later.

Commenters noted the coach was a 2nd AC compartment, not a sleeper coach.
