Breakfast can be had in GWD/MBNR , Lunch can be had in DMM , Dinner can be had in PAK[hot idli's are available]...for heavensake dont buy or order the food...

inside the compartment as it is costly and rotten...
frequent cleanliness is maintained by a contractor in AC/Non-AC coaches as he collects all the waste tea cups , empty food packets for every 1 hour...cleans the coach with cleaning acids in 5 hr intervals
Nice move by SCR in cleaning the coaches.
except catering this rain is worth to travel by all means..
