Train trip...
We've never done anything longer than an overnight/14 hour trip, so I'm curious to know how I'd cope with this trip :) It was all sounding quite good until you mentioned the smoking... :( I've been eyeing off the Intrepid Travel version of this trip, but will look up the G Adventures one too. Momos! Yum! Can't understand why they aren't more popular around the world

Tight quarters...
...I was really looking forward to the train trip, and it met expectations...really enjoyed it but was glad to get off and no reason to repeat it really...great experience though...yeah, the smoking, at 10pm on the second night the smoking was supposed to stop as they were pumping oxygen into the cars due to altitude, we could still smell it all night unfortunately...as for momos yes, I could live off them...haha...did learn how to make them and they are very time consuming, might explain why they aren't more popular elsewhere!
