 Crowded train in Mumbai Mumbai’s suburban railway is not just a transport system, it is the lifeblood of the city. Carrying over seven million passengers every day, it is one of the busiest urban rail networks in the world and an essential part of daily life for millions of Mumbaikars. For travellers interested in understanding India beyond the obvious sights, a journey on Mumbai’s local trains offers a rare and authentic glimpse into the rhythm of the city.
At Darjeeling Tours, we believe train travel reveals more than landscapes. In Mumbai, it reveals people, routines and a city in constant motion. Explore Mumbai’s suburban trains, insider travel tips and how the city’s local rail network leads into the scenic Konkan Railway journey along India’s west coast.

 When we built the NorthEast Frontier Railway (NFR) Tour – March 2026 we knew we wanted to take travellers somewhere truly off the beaten path. Stretching from the lush tea plains of Assam up into the hills, this rugged region boasts dramatic landscapes and cultural richness that few outsiders have experienced. Tucked into that itinerary is one of the most captivating yet underappreciated highlights of the trip: the Barail Mountain Range.
If you’re drawn to rail journeys, cultural travel in India, and landscapes that feel like a well-kept secret, the Barail Range is a highlight that will linger long after the tour ends.  Set among cliffs the colour of copper and slate, the meeting point of the Indus and Zanskar rivers is one of Ladakh’s most quietly astonishing sights. Travellers often expect the drama of high passes and the serenity of monasteries, yet almost nobody anticipates how moving it is to stand where two ancient rivers collide in a swirl of shifting colours. It is more than a viewpoint. It is a geographical landmark, a cultural touchstone and a window into Ladakh’s place in the wider story of India and the Himalayas.
