Travel In China: How to Book a First Class Train Ticket in India

India tourist visa holders often love to travel via trains across India. There are a few things that any tourist on India visa should know before he or she embarks a train. Indian Railways operates all the trains that run in India. As a matter of fact Indian Railways is the third largest railway network in the world. While this may be the case, Indian trains are not the world best, and travelling in them can add to your already rich travelling experience. There is absolutely no better way to make friends with local people for India visa holders. Moreover this is perhaps the cheapest way to see spectacular country side.

If an India tourist visa holder wants to book tickets in Indian trains, there are several options. The golden tip here is to stick to first class only. One of the options is to give your travel agent all the details like name, sex and age, and he'll get things done for you. He will charge a small fee for all this and you will save a lot of time on research. But India visa holders who are more adventurous can book tickets online. IRCTC is the website that offers this facility. It is a great website, which has information on all the trains running on Indian tracks. It is a government run website, hence the info is comprehensive. The India tourist visa holder has to register themselves in the website first.

After registration is complete, just log in and enter your search. There are several links which will tell India visa holders about trains running between two stations, about the time, the classes they offer, availability and fares. Once you have entered station between which you plan to travel, you will get a variety of trains that run between them. According to the one which is most suitable to you, you can click on it, and instantly a screen will appear which will show their availability.

An India tourist visa holder will be surprised to find that availability is updated each minute. Once an India visa holder chooses the train, he or she can continue with the booking process. The site will lead you to a form where all details regarding name, age and sex are supposed to be filled. Did you know that the site also offers 'foreign tourist' quota to its foreigner travellers?

Once the form is complete the India visa holder will be directed to the mode of payment. There are numerous options. You can pay via credit cards or debit cards or even via Internet banking. But you can't pay via PayPal or moneybookers or any other such payment gateway.

India visa travellers who have just one or two days left for their journey can opt for Tatkal bookings.
