I was a little wary of taking the overnight train from Kolkata to Varanasi, but it was actually pretty clean! It wasn't exactly Darjeeling Limited, but we were in air-conditioned two tier cars with a choice of bathrooms: Indian style and European style.

We woke up at 6 AM and unlocked our suitcases (which were chained to the bottom of our sleeper seats). After 10 hours on the train, I had the feeling of movement all day...
