Useful tips for train travellers
• Onboard Services: The Jammu to Kangra train offers catering services that include a variety of meals and snacks, mostly vegetarian. Keep an eye out for the catering staff who typically come through the compartments to take orders. If you have any specific dietary preferences, it’s good to inform them as soon as they arrive.
• Seating Options: For this route, you can typically choose from Sleeper Class, AC 3 Tier, and AC Chair Car. Sleeper Class is more economical but less comfortable for longer journeys, while AC 3 Tier provides air-conditioned comfort. AC Chair Car is great for daytime travel as it offers cushioned seating and dining services onboard, ensuring a pleasant journey.
• Arrival Station Tip: Upon arriving at Kangra station, expect a smaller station compared to larger cities. There are restroom facilities available, but showers are not provided. Unfortunately, there isn’t luggage storage at Kangra station, so be prepared to carry your belongings with you. To get to the city center, I recommend taking an auto-rickshaw or a taxi directly outside the station for a quick and convenient transfer.
