In a bid to experience the famous Koraput-Rayagada stretch at its very best, Anindya Roy and I, Pramit Mitra, set forth to Koraput in Mother Nature's favourite season, Monsoon, while combining this with another long cherished wish of ours, to do an end-to-end journey in the newly LHB-fied Ranchi Shatabdi; thus giving rise to a plan which could give us a WAP-7, a WAP-4, a WAM-4, an Alco and a twin Alco ride in one single trip. Sit back and relax as we take you for a ride through the green forests of Chhota Nagpur in Jharkhand and over tall viaducts and long tunnels in Odisha; far , far away from the hum-drum of our busy lives. PS : Many thanks to Sunil Shukla for his invaluable tips and information that went on to make our trip a success.
