Indian Railways boasts an extensive network, covering over 60,000 kilometers of track, making it one of the world’s largest railway systems. With numerous routes crisscrossing the vast expanse of India, it connects most cities, serving a large number of citizens and travelers. Consequently, securing tickets can be competitive, and seats in higher classes or those with air conditioning tend to fill up quickly. Foreigner quotas for seats are available for booking 60 days in advance (excluding certain trains), and we recommend making reservations well in advance, as even booking a few weeks prior can be challenging to secure your preferred time and class. Furthermore, ticket prices may vary for the same seat, and popular tickets can sell out quickly. Please be aware that the longer the gap between our guidance and your purchase, the more challenging it may be to obtain your desired tickets.
