There used to be a 2' 6" Narrow Gauge route from Jayanagar (India) via Janakpur (Nepal) to Bijalpura (Nepal). This route is under Gauge Conversion. This route, however, is mostly in the plains. Therefore, conversion from Narrow Gauge to Broad Gauge is easy. The further you go into the mountains...

@anoop_mig25, I agree with you. Most of the poor people would get food from home. Jan Ahar might not be effective in overnight journeys, where a person boards a train in the evening, and reaches his destination the next morning. I do think that for longer routes, Jan Ahar could be relevant.
