Scenic rail option FAQs
How much time should I allow for Scenic rail option?
Allow a dedicated activity window within the itinerary. Build extra buffer when the day depends on mountain roads, ferries, permits, border access, attraction slots or heavy city traffic.
Can Scenic rail option be added to a Ooty, Mysore & Coorg package?
Usually yes when the route remains practical. Request the change before payment so hotel nights, vehicle time, tickets and supplier availability can be recalculated.
Are tickets and local activities automatically included?
No. They are included only when listed in the selected package or final voucher. This avoids assuming that a destination name automatically includes every attraction or activity there.
