Travel by train
The valley is on the rail map.
Kashmir is connected to the rest of India by rail — across the highest railway arch bridge in the world. Here is every station, what actually waits outside the gate, and where to book.
Booking & live timings
Tickets are sold only by Indian Railways — book on IRCTC ↗ or at any station counter. For live running status use NTES ↗. We deliberately publish no timetables or fares here: they change too often to keep honest, and a wrong departure time can cost you a day.
Good to know
Security checks at Kashmir stations are airport-style — arrive with time to spare and keep ID handy. In winter, trains within the valley often run when the highway is shut, but verify on NTES before travelling on a snow day.
Station guides are being prepared — they go live shortly.
Station facts are reviewed by our editors; anything we have not verified is left blank rather than guessed. Timings, fares and reservations belong to Indian Railways — always confirm on IRCTC or NTES.
