“Breakfast in the dining car is pot noodles in broth, served with fresh lime and chili. Enjoy it with a cup of instant black coffee, drunk as the train chugs its way past buffalos grazing in rice paddies,” according to Rough Guides.

Rough Guides also recommends train journeys through Sri Lanka, China, Malaysia, Japan, and Uzbekistan.
