Ashwini Vaishnaw’s list includes train journey through Nilgiri mountains, Gujarat’s Kutch
Looking out the window during a train journey in India is perhaps one of the best ways to experience the scenic beauty of our country. Indian train journeys offer some of the most breathtaking views and let people enjoy India’s ever-changing landscapes in a way no other mode of public transport does. The railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared a list of some of the most spectacular train routes of India today.
In a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, Mr Vaishnaw shared little glimpses of the “some of the most scenic Rail Journeys across India.”

Among his six picks are the train journeys through Nilgiri mountains, Gujarat’s Kutch, and Jammu and Kashmir’s Banihal to Badgam among others.
First on his list is the Namo Bharat rapid rail train journey through Kutch, Gujarat, which, he says, offers an immersive experience in “the vibrant hues of the desert & white sands of the Rann”. Following this is in the list the “ever-charming Nilgiri mountain railway, a renowned UNESCO world heritage site”.
On the third number is the train journey through the “picturesque” snow laden valley from Banihal to Badgam in Jammu and Kashmir followed by Goa’s Dudhsagar Falls, which Mr Vaishnaw described as “a marvel of nature.”
Train journey through the “tranquil shores and coconut groves of Kerala’s coastal gem” in Kappil, Thiruvananthapuram is fifth on the list followed by the much sought after journey from Kalka to Shimla on “historic UNESCO heritage” toy train.
