BBC Great Indian Railway Journeys

Part 1 of Part 4

1) Amritsar to Shimla

Beginning in the Sikh holy city, Michael is dazzled by the beauty of the Golden Temple and awed by the scale of its langar - the world's largest free kitchen. His route then takes him through the Punjab, India's breadbasket. Michael samples traditional chapattis, has a colourful kurta made up in one of the Punjab's biggest cloth markets, and can't resist the foot-tapping rhythms of Punjabi bhangra dancing, made famous by Bollywood. At Kalka, Michael glimpses the Himalayas for the first time and joins the 1906-built mountain railway for a stunning climb to Shimla.

Monsoon Journey through Hills & Forests of Odisha

Monsoon, I'm sure everyone will agree, is the best season to admire Mother Nature. Combine that to a train travel with a chugging ALCo, its sound echoing off hills, viaducts and tunnels in plenty and a some breathtaking landscapes; Koraput Rayagada section offers just that !!

I was fortunate enough to visit the section as a part of a mega-quadrilateral trip with my dear friend and senior Anindya Roy. This video was shot exactly an year earlier on board the 18006 Samaleshwari Express which was led by a Bondamunda WDM-3D that day.

The stretch from Koraput to Rayagada, 163 kms, can roughly be classified into 2 distinct parts. The initial stretch from Koraput to Tikiri, where the train glides through the lap of the Laxmipur Pattangi Range, past the elephant infested zones of Baiguda (the highest point of the stretch) and some beautiful green landscapes.

Post Tikiri, the descend to the plains begin. This is where the real fun lies. We encounter tunnels (36 of them) and viaducts at regular intervals (often back to back in short intervals). The Rayagada Kashipur Range, another part of the Eastern Ghats give us company.

The entire ghat section ends at Rayagada, or more precisely at Singapuram Road. Relish the concise compilation as I give you a glimpse of the above through my camera. However, this is just 1% of the real; please do visit this section to get a feel of what it really is like. I bet you wont be disappointed.

Grateful thanks to Mr. Pramit Mitra and YouTube.
