Train journey From Bangalore to Mangalore

Hi friends.....I want a share a wonderful experience of my life - Train journey between Bangalore and Mangalore.....The train leaves Bangalore at about 7.30am every alternate days(Mon, Wed, Fri)....The train passes through many places like Tumkur, Arasikere, Hassan, Sakaleshpur, kukke Subrahmanya etc to reach Mangalore at about 5.30pm ......But after sakaleshpur is the most amazing part of the journey....The segment on the railway track from Sakaleshpura to Kukke Subramanya Road station is unique because of the dense green forest in which it is situated. This stretch of the track with length about 52 km has around 50 tunnels and bridges with length varying from few metres to 0.75 km and height varying from few metres to 200 meters.....It is an engineering marvel and hard to imagine how they have managed to lay the railway track in such an environment....It is the Green Route often called the trekker's paradise.This is one of the most picturesque route in the Western Ghats of Karnataka.Not only bridges and tunnels, but we can also see a number of water falls on either side especially when travel in the months of July, august and september..If you are lucky, you can even get a splash...The clouds that are trapped between mountains, tall trees , mountains,flowers etc is a treat for nature lovers....So friends please plan a trip with the family and enjoy the unique journey....Travel by second class and not A/C to get the wonderful experience of nature....Preferred time of travel is between july and october....Happy journey!!!
