Overnight Sleeping Trains:

We don’t recommend it, it takes 15 to 18 hours on a very crowded train. The toilets are not clean enough and smelly. Food is not good in general. The beds are not that comfortable. Comment from a client: “However, I am 6’0″ (183 cm) tall and barely fit into the bed — anyone taller would have to curl up.”

We recommend upgrading your reservation to a domestic flight.
