My name is Hugo I am a 22 year-old French student and I like going around the world with friends and learning more about the culture of other countries.

 

My story


Last winter we travelled through India  and I will tell you about my experience on the Indian railway



India

- India was a British colony until 1947 before becoming independent and splitting in  two different countries : Pakistan and India with two iconic figures named Nehru for Pakistan and Gandhi for India. The British developed the India railway system in the 19th century.

 

- India has a population of 1.366 billion and the 4th largest rail network with over 18 million passengers per day. 

It has three well-known railroads: 

  • Darjeeling Himalayan Railway
  • The Maharaja's Express
  • The Bullit Train ( to be completed in 2023 )
