Great Indian Railway Journeys - Series 1

Following on from his adventures in 'Great Continental Railway Journeys', Michael Portillo sets his course to explore India. Using as his textbook 'Bradshaw's 1913 Handbook of Indian, Foreign and Colonial Travel', Portillo recognises the cultural diversity of India and its magnificent landscapes, all connected by railway. Starting at Amritsar and passing through the Himalayas and the Punjab region, he embraces many surprises and meets people from an array of backgrounds.
