Useful
An excellent outing for a day from Indore.

1. How to catch this train?
You can avail bus service from Indore to Mhow which will drop in front of Mhow (DADN) railway station.
Best
...
more...
is 14116 Prayagraj DADN Express. (If its running late but departs Ujjain by 0840-0845 hrs, you'll safely catch 52965 at Mhow) (Broad gauge & meter gauge platforms are adjacent). Can take 0940 am Ratlam DADN DEMU too.

2. Stops:-
(a.) Patalpani station - 15 mins halt, don't know why as we were informed if just halt, not about its purpose. Its regular halts for other trains too.
(b.) Patalpani waterfalls - 30 mins halt. There is viewing gallery in railway premises only which gives a good view of the falls. You can go out of the railway boundary too if permitted. (Today we were not due to sec 144 issued due to red alert for heavy rains by meterological department). Beware of monkeys & their companion species, especially if you have something to eat in your hands.
(c.) Choral River Bridge - 30 mins halt. Gives a beautiful view of choral river flowing through the green valley.
(d.) Kalakund - Terminating station, 2 hr halt (if returning by same train).. There is a small park for kids beside the river. You can relax, have lunch beside the river with your group (carry a bedsheet for this)..

3. Food - Available only at Kalakund. One small stall on platform selling kalakand (10 rs a piece). For lunch, cross the tracks & go to officers rest house & there lunch is available for 150 rs. (2 roti, rice, dal bafla, matar paneer, dal, kadhi, papad, sweet). Food is good.

4. If you have sr. ctzns travelling with you, be cautious while boarding & deboarding. The stations are low level & at choral river bridge, there is no platform, so it becomes bit difficult to board & deboard.

5. Return :-
From Mhow, take 5 PM DADN - Indore DEMU or buses are waiting just outside the station. But be quick in deboarding & then going to counter to take the ticket to Indore (only one counter was working when I went & by the time I took mine, i could see a long line behind me.

Do remember to book returning ticket for 52966, as some passengers think DADN KKD ticket as return ticket too & ultimately have to pay the fine while returning (though these things are decreasing now, initially it was bit common).
My take - Book in CC while going to Kalakund (opt for C2 for back glass view, if booking on irctc) & return in 2S. (Total cost - 285 at PRS & 337 on irctc )

Overall, you will love this journey.

Just completed my up and down journey in Tejas exp (same day) and my observations:
1. Cleanliness - 5/5 . The OBHS is quite active. Once the trai reaches KRMI, gates are closed and again opened at 1400 hrs (normally it reaches by 1330 hrs). In this 40 mins all the used glasses, bottles are collected (except newspapers) and train is again cleaned and moped. In 40 mins its again spic and span.
2. Bathrooms - 5/5 , Quite clean. Sensor based hand wash dropper and taps work well. In 1-2
...

coaches, handwash sensors were not working so manual ones were present.
3. Food - 4.5/5, Had the lunch been hot, it deserved 5/5. Food is great and meals are provided timely. Tasted both veg and non veg and it was good.
CSMT - KRMI -
0600 hrs - morning tea with marie biscuit
0645 hrs - Breakfast (2 idli, 2 vada, sambhar, chutney, salt, mango drink)
1100 hrs - Soup
1145 hrs - lunch (rice, 3 big roomali rotis, paneer subzi, sheera, solkadi, daal)
KRMI - CSMT-
1500 hrs - snacks (kachori, haldiram khatta meetha, sauce, cream biscuit, tea)
1830 hrs - Soup
1915 hrs - Dinner (same as lunch, paneer replaced by chicken in non veg)
NOTE - NO TIPS ASKED BY ANY STAFF.
4. Punctuality - 5/5, Delayed by 15-20 min at intermediate stn but reaches early or on time at destination.
5. Railfanning - Do I need to tell anything? Travels via Konkan.
6. Comfort - 4/5, seats are quite comfortable. Entertainment option works well but movie and song choices are limited. 6-8 movies and 20-25 songs.
AND yes, one more thing to add,
7. Safety - 5/5, Though no RPFs present but it still feels secure. The automatic gates only open at scheduled stoppages and not at the places of crossing/unscheduled ones (disappointing for RFs). The TTEs make rounds almost every 30-60 mins and make sure no one creates any ruckus. The attendants are also friendly and talk to you with a smile and are always present in every coach to help you. Plus the working CCTV cameras in the coach helps enhance safety.
