Travelling through India’s extensive railway system is like travelling through a tapestry of histories, cultures, and landscapes. The Vande Bharat train service, a representation of efficiency and modernity in Indian rail travel, is at the centre of this complex network. With the increasing demand for uninterrupted connectivity, Vande Bharat routes have recently expanded, inviting travellers to discover new places and uncover hidden gems in the rich cultural landscapes of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, and other regions.
