The Shatabdi Express:

Superfast, intercity trains known as the Shatabdi Express link major cities and offer facilities for quick and comfortable travel. While you relax, the Shatabdi hospitality treats you to meals and snacks. Before you are through, your destination has arrived.

A very special train was flagged off recently. Called the Shatabdi Express, it is so named to commemorate  the  birth  centenary  of  India's

first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

 

" Shatabdi Express covers the major route between Mumbai Central and Delhi and runs at very high speed."

 
Mumbai :

Mumbai A fusion of the ultra modern and traditional and India's glamorous answer to Hollywood, Mumbai is also the country's powerhouse, industrial heartland and economic nerve centre. The interesting places to visit in Mumbai include the famous Marine Drive, the Gateway of India, the Afghan Church, Hutama Chowk, Mahalakshmi Temple, Nehru Planetarium, Victoria Terminus and the famous Elephanta rock-cut caves.

 

Surat :

This city is known for its textiles, zari work and Diamond cutting and polishing industry. Bardoli, where Gandhiji launched a farmer's Satyagraha is situated 34 kms from here.

 
Baroda :

Once the capital of the princely Gaekwads, Baroda is a graceful city of palaces, parks temples and museums.

 
Udaipur:

Situated on the banks of the Sabarmati river, Ahmedabad was founded by the Muslim ruler. Sultan Ahmed Shah in 1411 AD. This city is also called as "Manchester of the East" because of its thriving textile industry

The old walled city with its intriguing labyrinth of bylanes called pols and the exquisitely carved wooden mansions, or havelis, is still the centre of commercial activity.

This is a city of architectural delights, home to the Indo-Saracenic style, a blend of Hindu and Muslim architectural ideals. The newer part of the city is dotted with architecture of more contemporary design.

Apart from being a vibrant and prosperous business center, Ahmedabad has great deal more to offer to visitors.
