If you are a foreigner to India, you can get your train tickets for the best price available at the International Office on the second floor at the main train station near the Paharganj area of Delhi.

The people at the station are usually very helpful and can book your tickets to several places at once if you know where you want to go and the train on which you want to book a reservation.
