for more detail EBC itinerary like what to pack and carry and our details experience  Click here My journey began in Bengaluru, where I boarded a train that would take 28 long hours to reach Pune. The next day, I met up with my fellow traveler, and we were excited for our next leg: a train to Gorakhpur. However, we soon discovered we had RAC tickets, meaning we had to share a seat for the entire 33-hour journey. I was okay with it, but my partner wasn’t thrilled. Yet, we managed to settle in. The train passed through Bhopal, Banaras, and Mirzapur, but then it was delayed by four hours. To save time, we decided to take a direct bus to the Sanoli border, which would take about three to four hours. Once we arrived, a friendly tanga rikshaw driver took us to a money exchange shop, where we got a good rate of 1.6 NPR. After purchasing Nepali SIM cards, we hopped on a bus to Kathmandu.

Bengaluru to Mangalore The journey began from Bengaluru at the KSRTC railway station at night. On the train, I met two people heading to the Amrutham Temple near Dharmasthala, a famous spot in Dakshina Kannada. Mangalore In Mangalore, Pavan hosted me at his house. I arrived at Mangalore Junction, took a bus to Lalbagh (KSRTC), and then another bus, number 33, to Akash Bhavan. Pavan's home is small but cozy, a 1RK setup, where he lives with his wife and daughter. He works in the pharma industry, but despite some financial setbacks, he seemed friendly and willing to help.
