Chalo Delhi!

My earliest memorable long journey was Delhi and Agra. We were a dozen family members, me being the youngest (4th grader).
We took the Dadar-Amritsar express on the evening after Diwali in 1975. The train took nearly 36 hours to reach Delhi. I remember passing thru railway stations like Bhopal, Jhansi, Gwaliar and Mathura.

One day was spent in Delhi-Darshan and around. One day was spent in Agra (Taj Mahal) and Fatehpur Sikri.
Next two days were spent in Rishikesh and Haradwar. I believe we went to Mathura, but I can't remember much about it, except for the 'Pedha' I ate there.

We returned to Mumbai by Frontier Mail.
