Trains Stations in Nepal

If you are planning a trip to Nepal soon you will likely be considering different ways to get around the country. There are many different forms of transportation available in Nepal and you will likely find that you will have to use a combination of a few different types in order to get from one destination to the next. There are not many train stations in Nepal but this does not mean that you should not consider using the Nepalese railways as a possible form of transport between certain countries and cities in Nepal.

There is a total of 59 kilometers of railway in Nepal. This is not a lot compared to many other countries, but it is enough to provide fast and cost-effective transport between Janakpur and Jainagar. The majority of this is ‘narrow gauge’ railway line featuring 0.762 m gauge. While the country does not have any rail links with China, it certainly does share one with India. Jainagar is situated close to India and many people use the trains to travel between India and Nepal every day.

Unfortunately, it would seem that the majority of Nepal's train stations are located mainly in the southern parts of the country where Nepal borders India. This means that the rest of the country has little – if any – rail connections and that even the country’s capital city, Kathmandu, does not have any railway connections. Nevertheless, if you are traveling to south Nepal you will find that traveling by train is a great option. So why not start investigating this option further for yourself? You will find that it is not only fast and efficient, but cost effective and convenient.

Hi every one, The best and cost effective way to travel Nepal is through Gorakhpur(distance to Nepal border is 80 Kms).GKP is a well connected to all over India by Train and Road ways.From GKP you can take Bus,Tata Sumo to reach Nepal Border(Sunauli).Near By sunauli (approx 10Kms),There is Birth Place of Lord BUddha called as Lumbini (Nepal).You can Enjoy a full Day over there.Now you Can make a trip to POKHARA.Enjoy the panoramic view of mountains and Lakes.Then proceed for Kathmandu,Historical city which is also a capital of nepal.After that Chitawan where You can Enjoy Jungle Safari,Wild life viewing.....From chitwan return to Sunauli. I suggest the total tour days should be 7 to 10 Days. Also NOTE that Nepal is CElebrating Tourism Year for 2011.On this occasion heavy discounts on hotels are availably. Enjoy the Journey to Nepal. :)

Hi, Train No.5274 SATYAGRAH EXP running daily from Delhi to Raxul and another one train running Bi weekly on the same rout, the SADHBHAWNA EXP, Train no. 4016. Also 4016 is touching Varanashi & 5274 is going via Gorkhpur. All of you can take the train (Journy Time 24 to 28 Hrs). After getting down at raxul take rest for the day and take a auto on next day & cross the border ( As an indian citizen you need not to carry passport, but to proof that you are citizen of India plz carry your Voter card, or Driving License or any other document). the name of opp site is Birgaung. From there you can take buses or taxi, even you can take a flight to kathmandu.By road it will take maximum 3 Hrs (dist 92 Km) and by flght only 15 Mnts. Also Indian Airlince & Royal Nepal Airline direct flights are available on daily basis from Delhi & Varanashi for Kathmandu. My suggestion is pl take flight and enjoy the beauty of Himalaya from the sky in one way. At the time of coming back you can take taxi or buses up to Birgaung (nepal) cross the border and take a train to your home. Also for availing flight from India to Nepal Passport is required, but visa is not at all required.
