To buy a train ticket in India, you usually need to fill in a form (available at any reservation office). The key feature is the code of the train. See the timetable book Trains at a Glance that is available at some ticket offices and at www.indianrailways.gov.in; see also www.indianrail.gov.in. You also need to determine the class of the coach you want to travel in – most backpackers take Sleeper Class (SL) for long-distance trips – and the position of the berth, whether upper, middle or bottom (for comfort and safety, take the upper one). Online reservation is possible at www.irctc.co.in and www.makemytrip.com.

Accommodation

Those arriving in India on a pre-arranged group tour will probably spend one night in Delhi en route to Leh, because the flights across the Himalayas go early in the morning. Generally groups use well-appointed, modern, comfortable hotels that are quiet and relaxing, and usually spend a day or two sightseeing in Delhi at the end of their trek.
