I was at Agra some 4 years back (Feb,2017) on a official work. My work got over and I am supposed to catch flight from Delhi ... Suddenly I realized why don't I visit holy shrine Katra ..
Immediately , I started planning some routes and didn't feel like taking flight from Delhi to Jammu. I got some sleeper ticket luckily from NDLS to SVDK (don't remember exact train but it was from BDTS )

Then again two options from Agra to Delhi, I have traveled via road but it's quite boring then I thought let me go through Bhopal shatabdi , earlier I traveled in Gatimaan but it will be a first time, I will be traveling in this prestigious train.
Train arrived dot on time and I boarded in EC coach, toilets were flooding with water. Not sure it was because of poor maintenance or passengers.. Most of the journey was in night so didn't watch much but got few news papers to make me occpied. Arrived Delhi on time and I thought of waiting at sleeper waiting hall.. Trust me it's very difficult for me without any company. I should have taken IRCTC plaza
My train (BDTS-SVDK) arrived bit late (some 15 mins) on PF8 and it started quickly. Mine was UB and took complete rest as I didn't had a proper sleep last night. Unfortunately, my BSNL postpaid wasn't working during entire travel so couldn't get any details during my travel. Train got almost empty at Jammu and I took SL to see the spectacular view .. It's really amazing.. Then I went to occupy my retiring room but got humiliated as I booked for next month (typo while booking). To my respite, I got one bed in IRCTC dormitory.
I started trekking around 8pm and returned back to SVDK station by 2am I guess. It was so cold at hill that literally I feel like I am standing on ice cubes.. I have booked my return trip from Jammu on udhampur-DEE AC express so I took a bus to reach Jammu. Jammu is very clean city and did some shopping like keasr, walnuts etc..
After having some beautiful lunch at Jammu , reached station quickly as I was asked to do so because of some security concerns at that time. took udhampur-DEE AC express and reached Delhi sari rohilla sation around 4am.
To my unluck, I couldn't get Internet connectivity on my BSNL sim and I have waited for almost 45 minutes to book.. Finally, when I reached T1 and took Indigo to Hyderabad :)
Thanks for reading :)
