Asking the clouds…
Your station, every line you can ride, and a little masti on the way.
Pick where you start and watch the lines you can ride light up, as far as you're happy to sit in the train. Pick a hill town without a station, like Munnar or Manali, and see which station to take a train to and the road from there. Plan a trip with several stops, and see the weather where you're going.
Timetable: Indian Railways' Trains at a Glance 2026 for most long-distance trains. Trains it doesn't cover (passenger, MEMU, DEMU and the hill railways' toy trains) keep the timetable published on data.gov.in (December 2017, Government Open Data License); each train says which. Other running days, and trains too new for either, come from Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0). Times change: check NTES before you travel, and tell us what's wrong.
Places: guides from Wikivoyage (CC BY-SA 4.0), summaries from Wikipedia and landmarks from Wikidata (CC0). Photos from Wikimedia Commons, credited on each place. Towns from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0) and airports from OurAirports. Road distances from OpenStreetMap, routed with OSRM, for the places people look up most; elsewhere, and road times everywhere, are estimates.
Weather: the forecast from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0). When to go: the IMD's long-term station averages where a Wikivoyage guide quotes them, otherwise estimated from NASA POWER's 2001–2020 climatology, adjusted for each town's height (SRTM, public domain). "By the sea" uses Natural Earth's coastline.
