Driving from the airport to our accommodation the realisation of not only have you arrived in Mystic India, but also a place were millions of Indians live below substandard conditions. Driving down streets that is packed with traffic that seems to be heading nowhere, horns beeping tuk tuks ... read more

We are a couple of Australians who have decided to travel before we get too old. And wander into the great unknown for a couple of years. What the Native Australian Aboriginals call "Going Walk About" We hope that we will fill our life with wonderful sights and memorys and the joy of making new friends and better understand the people of our world and embrace their cultures and beliefs. And perhaps return to our beloved Australia with a different out look on life.... full info

These are TaTa trucks they are everywhere, I think, nearly all goods are transported by truck, trains are used for travel and are slow. People catch overnight trains too, because they take so long. No bullet trains in India. Roads aren't particularly good either, some that we traveled on we're bumping and not sealed.

I meant I watched a show that said a lot of the trucks actually get loaded directly onto the train and simply get off at the stops where they intend to sell stuff. They don't travel large distances like the trucks in other countries.

Well darling I couldn't say if they did or didn't, as we only were in the north to central India. The trains we saw only appeared to be passenger trains. But your program could be referring to across country, long distances. We thought their was a hell of a lot of them on the roads, brightly coloured and decorated. But thinking on it now, takes so long driving in a car as the roads are so bad so it makes good sense to load trucks onto trains.
