 Madgaon-Mumbai-Konkan-Railway Image: Google Konkan Railway Journey: India’s most underrated rail journey.Along India’s western edge, where the Sahyadri Hills plunge into the Arabian Sea, runs one of the country’s greatest unsung achievements: the Konkan Railway. Spanning 760 kilometres from Mumbai to Mangalore (and onwards to Trivandrum), this is not just a train line, but a testament to human ingenuity, natural beauty, and the timeless rhythm of rail travel.

 Houseboat on Vembanad Lake Unexplored Northern Kerala: Backwaters, Houseboats & Scenic Rail JourneysWhen most travellers think of Kerala, their minds drift south - to the beaches of Kovalam, the canals of Alleppey, and the tea plantations of Munnar. But those willing to journey a little further north are rewarded with a quieter, more contemplative Kerala, lush with coconut groves, shimmering waterways, and villages where time still slips by at the pace of a punted canoe.

This is not just a train ride, it’s a passage through the heart of the monsoon-drenched Konkan coast, brimming with natural beauty, rich history, and moments of unexpected stillness. Join us aboard as we take a journey down the Konkan railway.
