Useful tips for train travellers

• On your train trip from Varkala to Bangalore, expect catering services that range from local snacks to full meals offered by on-board vendors. Trains like the Kerala Express provide meal options for both lunch and dinner, and you can also purchase beverages like tea, coffee, and soft drinks. It's convenient to come prepared with some cash for these purchases, as not all vendors may accept digital payments.

If you prefer a more comfortable journey, opt for AC 2 Tier or First Class for air-conditioned cabins and more privacy. Sleeper Class offers a budget-friendly option without AC, and is more crowded. Make sure to reserve your seats in advance as these popular routes can fill up quickly.
