Gaya Junction - Train station in Gaya - Gaya, India

You will get a very beautiful view as your train enters the station. Station seems to be between the mountains. Clean and well maintained. The ticket counter is also very big but lacks in term of staff availability. Just don't try the tea at the station it was horrible other than that everything was up to the mark...
