Taking an overnight train from St. Petersburg to Murmansk #Russia in winters to view the #NorthernLights / #AuroraBorealis - Pay a little extra and get the lower berth or else you'll be missing some amazing views en route - Your passport number is taken when booking a ticket, so it's normal for Police Officers to come and wake you up to check your ID etc any time in the night. Random checks. They're very polite and post checking passport etc leave. I was woken up twice and an officer was waiting for me at Murmansk Station. As I stepped out, he asked me to accompany him to the Railways Police Station. Checked my passport, visa. Asked for stay bookings. Also took my mobile IMEI as Murmansk is close to EU borders. Again very respectful and no issues. Post all checks, I was told I was welcome to Russia and was allowed to leave. - All Russia overnight trains have free hot water and they'll give you a distinctive metal cup holder (podstakannik) glass cup for having your hot drinks. Make sure to carry your preferred drinks sachets etc. You can buy them onboard but they don't have much variety. - Clean bed linen - pillow, duvet, sheets, and a towel are given - The train is nicely temperature controlled. Mine was 24° C something while the temperatures outside were -12° C. - Train stations have really nicely stocked supermarkets where you can buy food and all kinds of other stuff also which is needed. - Each passenger carriage (coach) will have a dedicated attendant who would have their small space at the end of the coach. - Bathrooms get a bit dirty with longer duration trains so get your bathroom slippers along. - Make sure to get your eye mask and ear plugs - Some trains do have a restaurant car and you can get alcoholic drinks to consume in the car itself and not on seat. It's prohibited. While I saw quite a few having them at their seats too. If you kept to yourself and if the attendant doesn't object, it's fine. Else just stick to hot drinks of your choice. Don't risk it. Not worth. I carried instant coffee and instant noodle packets. - Carry your own snacks etc as onboard. It's all limited, and if you're vegetarian then not much choice. - Trains have Wifi onboard but not that reliable / Share | RT #DakuKaGyaan

#Russia is now issuing 30 days E-Visa for Rs. 4800 instead of the earlier 15 days validity. 30 days is ample time to visit multiple cities across the country. Also ample time to go watch Northern Lights at Murmansk😍 Had tweeted it earlier too. This is a really good move and removes all the hassle to go and apply physically or via an agent. Thanks گریش Girish Mallya for confirming the above. Video from my trip from St.Petersburg to Murmansk. Pay the extra money and get a lower berth on the overnight train. It's beautiful outside in the winters😍

Please don't do this really. If you're late in getting back respectfully pay the fines. Don't bargain please. The Police had to intervene and then too they're like we got no discount :/ Source:

Person refused to pay a ₹500 bribe to the Postman for passport delivery so he tore a page of his passport. Incident from Lucknow, UP. Hoping they put an inquiry on the postman and find out if he's been doing this with Passport deliveries.

Welcome to low cost airlines, ma'am. Adhere to the rules or pay the additional charges. Indian airlines are way more liberal than those in Europe. Time to purchase a portable weighing scale if you're a frequent flier :) Source:

Random checks for illegal immigrants by Netherlands Highway Patrol Police for passenger buses. While the Schengen Zone has open border between all countries many countries follow such checks. Even when border crossings at midnight such checks are pretty common.

Mumbai ✈️ Cebu Return Multiple dates in Feb & Mar 2026 Rs. 19K 🎒✅ /💼✅ Fly with Singapore Airlines Best part is you can avoid all the chaos going via Manila. Here's how you can plan your trip - Land in Cebu. Explore - Take flight or go via road to Puerto Princesa. Explore - From there go to El Nido. Explore - From there, take a ferry to Coron. Explore - Flight back to Cebu from Coron (Check for days which have Sunlight Air - Dirt cheap flights) Also carry just a backpack and you'll love exploring and also getting cheap air fares. Keep your main bags in Cebu and explore all and on return take them and back to India. Did the same trip in Jan 2019 just because they were flying the A380 on this route + got flights in 18K I think + did it during the Sinulog Festival, a massive religious and cultural celebration honoring the Santo Niño (Child Jesus) with street dancing, parades (Grand Parade on this day!).
