In the month of Feb, we visited gulmarg in the second week.... It was freezing cold but along with it the day was sunny.... To reach gulmarg first u need to hire a car from Srinagar till tangmarg..... After getting down at tangmarg....we add a guide named Mr ahmed., he helped us in hiring jackets, long boots, sunglasses ( a must) and mask if required on rental basis of 100rs per thing.... Till then another vehicle was ready for us to travel by tying chains on its wheels to travel safely from tangmarg to gulmarg..... It is journey of 12 km. Approx taking 20 mins to travel..... Beautiful mesmerizing road covered with snow on both sides.... After reaching gulmarg u can tell ur driver to take ur car till gondola ticket counter or walk till it which is difficult as it is 3km approx.... We took a sledge ride pulled by Kashmiri people .... Costing 1500 per person with complete back and forth journey in Gulmarg.... Complete paisa vasool and fun-filled ride.... Then we took a gondola ride 760/person for phase 1.... Ample of snowy mountains and snow to enjoy.... One can also go to phase 2 if required.... But food adventures activities are available at phase 1 or near booking counter and not at phase 2...worth going.... Keep ur cash ready and enjoy cashmore..... Kashmir..... But worth every penny....

3. Delhi Airport Metro Express

The airport express line or the Orange Line of Delhi Metro is the best thing that have happened to Delhi. Travelling from the airport to New Delhi is an ease. The trains are well maintained, cleaned after every trip, and they run pretty fast. On an average, you will be in New Delhi in 20 minutes from the airport and vice versa. As the authorities have reduced the fares by half, a lot of people have started using this service over any other mode of transport to reach New Delhi or the airport. The best part if you are travelling by Air India, Jet Airways or Vistara is that you can check-in at New Delhi Metro station (Airport line) or at Shivaji Stadium 12 hours prior to departure. It saves you time and the hassle to carry your luggage to the airport. Just head straight to the security area, as boarding pass is already issued to you. The coaches are spacious, have good seating, and there are racks near the entrance, where you can keep your luggage. Overall, it's a great experience to travel on this line.

We had the opportunity to travel by the Chennai Metro in May 2018, when my son and his family visited us on a short vacation. CMRL announced free rides for the public during and for a few days after inaugurating the stretch between Nehru Park station and Chennai Central Metro station. We were transported into a world of cleanliness never seen before by us in India! The stations are very well maintained and so are the trains. The underground sections are fully air-conditioned, and free of noise and air pollution prevalent outside. My grandson was absolutely thrilled by the ride! They also have escalators and lifts to help the commuters. The Government of Tamil Nadu created a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for implementing the Chennai Metro Rail Project. This SPV, named as “Chennai Metro Rail Limited” (CMRL), was incorporated in December, 2007 under the Companies Act. It has now been converted into a Joint Venture of the Government of India and the Government of Tamil Nadu, with equal equity holding. This joint venture has built and operates the Chennai Metro Rail network. The Chennai Metro is a rapid transit system serving the city of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The system commenced service in 2015, after partially opening the first phase of the project. The network consists of two colour-coded lines, covering a length of 35 kilometres (about 22 miles). The system has a mix of underground and elevated stations and uses standard gauge rail. The services operate daily between 06:00 hours and 22:00 hours, with a varying frequency of 10 to 20 minutes. Construction began in June, 2009 and the first stretch, covering seven stations from Koyambedu to Alandur, a distance of 10 kilometres (about 6.2 miles), began operation on 29 June 2015. As of May 2018, Chennai Central to St. Thomas Mount on the Green line and AG-DMS to Chennai International Airport on Blue line are commercially operational, which brings the total operational network to over 35 km. Chennai had an established Chennai Suburban Railway network dating back to 1931, operating on a metre-gauge line from Beach to Tambaram, which has now been converted to broad gauge. Two more suburban lines, Chennai Central–Arakkonam and Chennai Central–Gummidipoondi began operations in 1985. The first phase of Chennai Mass Rapid Transit System between Chennai Beach and Thirumayilai (Mylapore) opened in 1997, with further extension to Velachery in 2007. Modelled after the Delhi Metro, a similar modern metro rail system was planned for Chennai city by Delhi Metro Chief, Shri E. Sreedharan, at the request of Government of Tamil Nadu. In 2007-08, ₹50 crore (US$7.0 million) was sanctioned for preliminary works, which included a Detailed Project Report (DPR) to be prepared by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. The project was approved by the State cabinet in November 2007 and was to be executed by the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL). Seven lines were planned by the DMRC for the Chennai Metro network. The Central Planning Commission gave ‘in-principle’ approval for the project on 16 April 2008. On 21 November 2009, a deal was signed with Japan Banking Corporation for a loan. In July 2012, the first tunnel boring machine was launched and by October 2012, eleven more machines were commissioned to bore tunnels along the underground stretch by three consortiums involved in the construction. On 6 November 2013, the test run along a stretch of 1 kilometre track was conducted. On 14 February 2014, the maiden trial run for the Metro was conducted between the Koyambedu and Ashok Nagar stations. In August 2014, the metro received the statutory speed certification clearance from the Research Design and Standards Organisation. In January 2015, a report was submitted to the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety for approval. In April 2015, the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety inspected the rolling stock and submitted a report to the Railway Board. On 29 June 2015, commercial operations started between Alandur and Koyambedu stations. Almost a year later, on 21 September 2016, commercial operations commenced between Chennai International Airport Metro station and Little Mount Metro station. We understand that the system has also planned to take-over the existing Chennai Mass Rapid Transit System by 2021, which would be upgraded to operate using the rolling stock of the Chennai Metro. CMRL was recognised by the International Association of Public Transport in 2011. In December-2016, it was announced that Chennai Metro Phase II would be for 104 km (65 mi), spreading across 104 stations. Perhaps people from other cities having metro facilities may not be as thrilled as we were, but this facility being added to the city’s transportation system will certainly enhance the comfort and convenience of the Chennai travelling public.

The Delhi metro is a marvel to behold. Especially in the old part of town it was inconceivable that it could be done. World class stations and trains; by far the fastest and most reliable transport in the entire Delhi region; as it also connects with all 4 satellite towns around Delhi. My favourite for showing guests the incredible diversity within this city is to board the mmetro at Rajiv Chowk, and take a ride for just 2 or 3 stations (5 minutes) to Chandni Chowk; right into the heart of Old Delhi >> It's like time travels :-)
