This train has a choice of fan cooled or air-conditioned sleeping carriages.

Some people find the air-conditioning a little too cold for comfort and if you are travelling during the high season months of November, December, January and February, the nights are usually much cooler at this time of year, so the fan cooled carriages are a good choice.
