Kangra Valley Heritage Train Ride

-

The Kangra Valley Heritage Train service runs between Pathankot and Baijnath. A limited number of trains go up to Joginder Nagar.

Kopar Lahar railway station with its heritage ambience.


The internal layout of the train coaches and the ambiance of the railway stations along the route take you back in time to the British era, as does the train fare - just Rs 15/- which was a princely amount during the era!


We facilitate a ride on the train from Jawala Mukhi Road station to Baijnath Paprolla and back.


Typically you board the train at Jawala Mukhi Road station which is around 17-km from Vayu Kutir, travel to Baijnath through Kangra valley along the foothills of the mighty Dhauladhar.


The journey takes you through a tunnel, over quaint bridges spanning fast flowing mountain streams and breathtaking gorges, along river banks, through lush green paddy fields with colorful tin roofed houses and building.



Having arrived at Baijnath, you get an hour or so to stroll through the temple down and have lunch.


 During the journey, back having soaked in the delightful landscape, you may have time to observe the simplicity and effervescence of the lifestyle of the locals - unassumingly attired male adults, exuberantly dressed youth, and very colorfully dressed women.



For those who don't have a transport of their own, we arrange drop off to and pickup from Jawala Mukhi Road.
