a very comfortable and civilised way to travel, although it is found only on the most important long-distance trains and costs about twice the price of AC2. In AC1, you'll be mixing with bank managers and army officers. You cannot specify that you want berths in a 2-berth rather than a 4-berth compartment when you book - specific berth numbers are only allocated by Indian Railways closer to the departure date and shown on reservation lists at the station before departure and on the coach side. Couples are normally given preference for the 2-berth coups, families and passengers travelling alone are normally allocated berths in one of the 4-berth compartments, but of course this can't be guaranteed.
Air-conditioned 2-tier (AC2)
AC2 provides seats by day, convertible to bunks at night. AC2 coaches are not divided into separate compartments, but are open-plan, with berths arranged in bays of four (two upper, two lower) on one side of the aisle, and in bays of two along the coach side above and below the windows on the other side of the aisle. Each bay is curtained off for privacy, and an attendant distributes pillows, sheets and blankets in the evening. AC2 is found on almost all decent long-distance trains, and it is the way the Indian middle classes travel. It's relatively clean and uncrowded, and a good choice for most visitors to India.
AC3 is very similar to AC2, but it has three tiers of bunks - upper, middle and lower - arranged in bays of six on one side of the aisle, and bays of two (upper and lower) along the coach side on the other side of the aisle. It's more crowded than AC 2-tier, and it lacks the privacy curtains and individual berth lights found in AC2. As in AC2, an attendant distributes pillows, sheets and blankets in the evening. Berths convert to seats for daytime use.
*Food provide Only Rajdhani ,shatabdi ,Duranto type train because of Food Fare including on fare
