Vande Bharat has ushered in a new era of rail travel in India. With a blend of luxury and speed, 164 trains are currently providing services across different parts of the country. When mountains, forests and waterfalls appear beyond the large windows of these modern trains, the journey becomes even more beautiful. Indian Railways plans to run 800 Vande Bharat trains by 2030 and approximately 4,500 by 2047. Take a look at some of India's routes where train travel is no less than a movie scene.
Mumbai to Goa: The Magic of Konkan Railway
When Vande Bharat speeds along the Konkan Railway, dense greenery and countless waterfalls can be seen on both sides. The beauty of this route increases manifold, especially during the monsoon season.
Delhi to Dehradun: Gateway to the Himalayas
For those who love mountains, the Delhi-Dehradun route is quite suitable. Dehradun is called the gateway to the Himalayas. The spectacular views of the Shivalik hills can be enjoyed through Vande Bharat's windows. The deep forests near Haridwar and the beckoning of cloud-covered mountains make the journey memorable.
Chennai to Mysore: The Serene Face of Rural India
While traveling on this route, one can see the rural environment of South India. Coconut groves, hills and green fields on both sides bring peace to the eyes.
Mumbai to Kolhapur: Beauty of the Western Ghats
The route from Mumbai to Kolhapur has been carved through the heart of the Western Ghats mountain range. When the train speeds through misty tunnels and green valleys, you'll feel like you're traveling through a postcard. This route becomes even more beautiful during the monsoon.
Katra to Delhi: Union of Hills and Plains
From the foothills of the Himalayas to the vast plains of North India—everything can be seen on this route. Long bridges over rivers and nature amaze tourists. A wonderful blend of devotion and adventure is found in this mountain journey.
Katra to Srinagar: Path to Snow-Covered Paradise
One of India's most thrilling railway routes is the Katra to Srinagar route. When the train travels through tunnels in towering mountains and among snow-covered Himalayan peaks, it feels like you're journeying above the clouds.
Arrival of Sleeper Vande Bharat
Until now, Vande Bharat meant only chair cars. But now sleeper trains have also arrived for long-distance travel. As a result, the touch of luxury and modernity will be available even in long-distance train journeys. Along with reduced travel time, tourists will also enjoy comfortable journeys.
