Today was another major transport day. We left Dharamsala in the morning for the 90km trip to Amb Andaura train station. Here we changed into one of the fastest (where tracks allow for that) and most modern trains on offer in India, the New Delhi Vande Bharat Express, covering the 412km in about five and a half hours – and in relative comfort.

We arrived in Delhi in the evening during a massive monsoon downpour – and streets turning into swimming pools.
