India’s first Vistadome jungle safari train

The Uttar Pradesh government and Indian Railways have launched India’s first Vistadome jungle safari train—a panoramic journey through some of the country’s most biodiverse terrain.

Key Highlights

• Launched under the ‘One Destination, Three Forests’ initiative by the UP Eco-Tourism Board, the route links Dudhwa National Park, Katarniaghat, and Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary—three of the richest biodiversity zones in India.
• The idea is to give travellers a seamless way to experience the wild heart of Uttar Pradesh, one forest at a time.
• The tourist train features specially designed coaches with panoramic glass windows and a transparent rooftop, offering travellers unobstructed views of the natural surroundings.
• The train will initially run only on weekends and will later be expanded to daily operations as interest among travellers grows.
• The 107-kilometre forest route promises travellers an immersive four-hour and 25-minute experience through grasslands, wetlands, farmlands, and woodlands.
