Photo Travelogue :
Although, it was named 'garibrath', I didn't really find many garibs in the train. The people were either middle or upper-middle class who boarded the train. No beggars were allowed in ( atleast, I didn't see any ). My trip this time was to Rajasthan. I've been to Rajasthan thrice now. All really enriching experiences. The first one was during my college years when I couldn't really click much pics ( no mobile those days ). It was a study trip to the Golden Triangle ( which included parts of Rajasthan - Jaipur & Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary or the Keoladeo Ghana National Park, along with Delhi and Agra circuit ), as I had taken Travel & Tourism as one of my vocational subjects. And, the last two were to be the back-to-back trips to the land of the Maharajas, in the year 2015, when there'd be bombardment of pictures ( becos' I had a mobile now, hehe ). The train journey to Jaipur ( 14-15 hrs long ) takes the northern route, hence, in this journey we pass by Bombay's northern suburbs ( in the western line ) and Gujarat. We don't see the Syhadris or Western Ghats in view, but do encounter various lakes and other water bodies. Those are equally enchanting...
boarded my train at Bandra Terminus in the afternoon...
As I kept my bag inside, I noticed this cute baby in the opposite seat...
the sun was going down fast, so I decided to catch the last views outside...
passing by one of the seven Virar lakes...
Nalasopara or is it the Virar suburbs at dusk...
sun setting over land; crossing Dahanu, Palghar etc...
sun setting over water...
Vaitarna Lake...
bye bye sun....see you in Jaipur...
Modak Sagar is a lake located in Thane district on the Vaitarna River. It is the second largest of the lakes supplying water to the city of Mumbai.
The Garib Rath is a no-frills air-conditioned train started by the Indian Railways in 2005 to provide subsidized price air-conditioned long-distance travel to passengers who could not afford standard fares of air-conditioned class in regular-fare trains. ( wiki )
