On 1st November 2022, two passionate travelers, husband and wife couple in their fifties - Jaishree and Rajesh Nair, co-founder of Rustik Travel completed their mega 11-day All India Train Trip. They covered 11,000 km, 144 stations, 18 states taking 5 trains in just 11 days. This is the first time anyone has covered such a distance in such short time by train. Through this campaign we highlighted various initiatives and positive changes by the Indian Railways, while exploring India through slow travel. All India Train Trip is an initiative by Rustik Travel in association with the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, Bengaluru, MyGov and is supported by LIC of India and Mastercard.

The train is a small world moving through a larger world.
