Varanasi Cantonment Railway Station

Varanasi Cantonment Railway Station, Varanasi. (15 November, 2004)


The Varanasi Cantonment Railway Station is one of the major railway stations in India. I passed through this railway station twice, on my way to Varanasi, and again, on my way back to Delhi. This is the railway station that suffered a bomb blast on March 7, 2006.

I travelled by first class coach, a very comfortable experience compared to the other classes. Nevertheless, it provided me an opportunity to glimpse life among the common people while allowing a degree of separation in case it is too much for comfort.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
