Fare thee well

Bidding farewell to near and dear ones at the Kurla railway Terminus. This train is going to Mangalore in Karnataka. It will take about 16hrs to traverse the distance through some scenic routes and will also pass through Goa.

  1. I do love to travel by train! I love being able to see the countryside and there's something very soothing about the motion and the sound that's almost mesmerizing. I traveled over a good part of Europe by train, great trips. Thanks for the memories and the reminder.

  6. Makes our distances seem puny but it can take an inordinate amount of time to cover lesser mileage.
    Good picture.

  9. That is a long time to be on a train. I suppose if the views are nice it'll be ok.

  10. You've captured that sad feeling of parting.. 16 hours is a long trip. I guess you have to sleep on the train..

  12. I think train platforms offer some magnificent photo opportunities, and this is why. There's a mood about them that's not duplicated by any other setting.

    And it sounds like this is definitely a train I'd want to take! Mumbai to Goa to the south and back? I don't suppose it passes through Kandhala too does it?
