If you are a Nature lover The ~1 hour section between Yelahanka (YNK) and Gauribidanur (GBD) is very beautiful, where the train pass through vast plains, curving through several hills. Get a window seat to your right (YNK GBD) to enjoy the view.

If your travelling to Mangaluru or past Subrahmanya road(or vice Versa) for general travel or for railfanning sit on the left side of coach near the emergency window (bars free view:P).one's train leaves Sakleshpur ,most of the people reserve their seats near door so better be hurry and occupy as this section gives one of BEST SCENIC VIEWS(better i say it as BREATHTAKING VIEWS for more than 3 hours.)where it passes through 60 tunnels and number of bridges (of which best will come at midst of journey around after passing 20 tunnels so don't hurry and waste your devices battery as it descends loco pilot will do brake test at every halt and between(almost stops at least min or more if your lucky that day),so if u are smart,adventurer kinda guy hurry and move down to take better snaps

Local trains[for Baidhyanath Dham/Dumka] start from PF 4 and 5 which are adjacent/next to PF 1. The station has a paid AC lounge on PF1. Retiring room is outside the main station. Technically, all three stations here = Jasidih, Baidhyathdham and Deoghar have retiring room facilities, but when I visited only JSME was operational and no one was staying at Baidhyanath Dham one. One would need to go to counter number 7 first to approve their booking and then to the 'Enquiry Office' to enter your details. It's a lot of paperwork and corruption is involved. The RR person/caretaker might even ask you for a bribe once you are leaving your room permanently.

goes for more than MRP in and around this place except for a few exceptions[ even in government owned shops]. The only good thing is the IRCTC restaurant next to the retiring room which has decent food and the lake side view near to the rail station.

The Transportation
1. #Autos
Autos are most convenient transportation here due to rates and well known the city.
When you just exit the station, there are plenty of Auto walas you will found, they are also an agent (you may call) as they have link with Hotels of any range and Dharamshala to help you to book the best range hotel in your

They will charge 10Rs per head to any Hotel or dharamshala which is nearby Temple (walkable distances)
.
2. #Taxis
Some people book a Taxi for 1 or 2 day whatever the price you may bargain, i noticed a family of 3 booked Tata Indica for 1 day @2500 Rs

3. #Buses
I don't know whether the free bus service similar to Somnath Trust board is also available here in Dwarka or not...

#Suggestion:- Opt for Auto and he will become your guide for a full day tour (more info on this will be posted separately on another Tip)
#My_Experince:- we just normally took an Auto and told him directly take us to some hotel or dharamshala, he show us 2-3 normal hotel and Dharamshala , later we told him to show some good hotels then we found 1 of them...
He only charge 10Rs per head, and also we booked him for entire day circular tour (more info on this will be posted separately on another Tip)
