I have always been an avid supporter of train journeys.

My involvement with train

journeys began in childhood. I live in Lucknow and from here I have undertaken many
train journeys. Furthermore, since childhood, I have paid several visits to the
hill station of Almora to meet my relatives. Almora is a hill station located in
the state of Uttarakhand. Most noteworthy, Almora is situated in the Himalayan
mountain region. Due to this, trains cannot travel directly to Almora.
Consequently, Kathgodam is the last town station accessible by trains before the
mountain range begins. The trip from Lucknow to kathgodam is quite a lively
experience. I have always ensured the reservation of my seats beforehand. So, my
train journey begins from Lucknow railway station. As the train undergoes motion
and leaves the Lucknow railway station, my excitement begins to rise. Moreover, as
the train gathers speed, a thrilling feeling overtakes me. My train journey from
Lucknow to Kathgodam is probably 8-10 hours duration. However, I enjoy every minute
of it in spite of the journey being so long. Furthermore, all along the journey,
one can purchase items of food and drinks. I almost always purchase meals and
refreshments at least twice in the journey. When slumber overtakes me, I make use
of the sleeping berth. I personally find sleeping on the train berth very
comfortable. When I wake after a deep sleep, mountains are visible from a distance.
Moreover, as the train approaches Kathgodam with menacing speed, the view of
mountains gets bigger and bigger. Also, my amusement greatly rises as I see the
Himalayas draw closer. Finally, as the train stops at Kathgodam, my delightful
train journey comes to an end.
