Peter believes it\u2019s the best way to see a country: slow, sustainable, ground level. In contrast, I generally find it cramped and stressful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-106230\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I like the <em>romance<\/em> of rail travel and would certainly like to do more of it, but in reality hauling a suitcase down a narrow corridor into a compartment full of strangers is not my idea of fun, nor is shared commode. The Orient Express and its ilk are a different matter of course, but they\u2019re not exactly suited to a modest budget.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is why my interest was piqued by the new <a href=\"https:\/\/gadventures.sjv.io\/EE29rQ\">Rail Collection<\/a> from G Adventures, the small-group travel specialist. <\/p>\n<p>We are big fans of G Adventures and have travelled with them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlasandboots.com\/travel-blog\/mekong-river-cruise\/\">Vietnam and Cambodia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlasandboots.com\/travel-blog\/national-geographic-expedition-costa-rica\/\">Costa Rica<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlasandboots.com\/travel-blog\/cycling-tour-of-myanmar-burma\/\">Myanmar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlasandboots.com\/travel-blog\/nevis-bungy-new-zealand\/\">New Zealand<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlasandboots.com\/travel-blog\/everest-base-camp-trek-nepal\/\">Nepal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlasandboots.com\/travel-blog\/essential-india-tour\/\">India<\/a> and, most recently, my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlasandboots.com\/travel-blog\/solo-trip-to-china\/\">solo trip to China<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Their new rail collection focuses on iconic routes and jaw-dropping views with at least 50% of the itinerary by train. While the majority of the collection is currently aimed at \u201818 to thirtysomethings\u2019, there are several with broader appeal.
