With one of the largest rail networks in the world, India invites tourists from all over to explore its hidden and not so hidden treasures by train. Along with the usual trains that run for the convenience of the people, there are some special trains that are operated specifically for tourists. These trains take the tourists on a memorable trip to some of the most beautiful and interesting places of the country. For example, the Heritage trains will take you to all those places where Indian history and culture have left an indelible impression. Then, there are also a number of Toy Trains in India which have their own unique charm. Running on narrow guage rails, these trains traverse past the most scenic attractions of the country.
