India
Train travel in India is a way of life and for the tourists, a magical way to explore the country. You can stop wherever you want, spend couple of days checking out the beautiful towns and then continue your trip.

But then when some people hear that you can literally find hotel rooms for around US$1, they are suddenly interested.
