German traveler raves about India's Vande Bharat train
A German traveler, Alexander Welder, just took the Vande Bharat and shared his thoughts online—turns out, he was genuinely impressed.
He compared the Executive Class ride to high-speed trains in Japan and China, praising the modern vibe and comfy features.
His post quickly caught attention across social media.
What stood out on his journey
Welder highlighted the spotless interiors, roomy overhead racks for big suitcases, and seats that rotate 360 degrees—pretty cool for a long trip.
He also appreciated having both Indian-style and Western-style toilets on board.
Food, price, and reactions
For ₹2,100, Welder got a full meal with dal, sabzi, chapati, rice—even ice cream—which he was surprised to receive as part of his ticket.
Indian netizens loved his positive review and suggested he try other luxury trains like the Maharajas's Express next time.
Since launching in 2019, Vande Bharat has become a standout for speed and comfort in India's rail network.
