Rajdhani express supplied food as per terms and condition.
The bus to Dwaraka was a sleeper bus. On experiencing day weather I had feeling the night will be pleasent. Man proposes and God disposes. With one half sweater I was shivering The bus is not provided Kambal to protect from cold Any how I bravely with stood the cold ( there is no alternative than boosting like this). The bus reached Jam nagar 3 AM. I took hot tea. The bus was stopped there for about one hour. Most of the passengers got down here. The bus driver and conductor waiting for local passengers.After one hour the resumed the journeyand reached Dwaraka by 7.15 AM. The sun rise is about 7 am. The reason for stopping for an hour I understood.
