Indian Railway - Travel Tip

* Never let go of your most important possessions -Passport and Money.
* Make sure that you have photocopies of the front and last pages of your passport, visas and air ticket. Imagine being lost in a strange land, clueless about your passport number, TC number and with no friends to take you home.
* Whatever TC you may opt for, make sure you take down the emergency call numbers. When you phone to report a loss, you will have to give the numbers of all your TCs(used or unused). This will help you process your claim much faster, you will also have to give details such as the place from where you purchased your TCs and the date on which it was done. So make sure you record all these details in a book (and don't keep it in the same bag with your TC's).

It is a good idea to check the local bank and shop opening times for your destination, and ensure that you do have enough local currency to tide you through when you arrive. Your local bank will be able to order currency for you, and larger airports have a cash desk.
