Dharamshala: Northern Railways will resume train services between Nurpur Road and Paprola from 14 December, following a successful trial run. The narrow gauge track had been out of use since July 2023 due to damage from heavy rainfall and landslides.

After months of repairs, full operations will be reinstated. Previously, limited operations were resumed on September 26 between Kangra and Paprola (Baijnath), and on October 18 between Kangra and Jogindernagar.

This restoration will be crucial for the residents of more than 30 remote villages between Guler and Jawali, many of whom had been forced to rely on expensive road transport, with bus fares up to six times the price of a train ticket.

The return of rail service offers an affordable alternative, providing much-needed relief to locals who have long advocated for the track’s repair.

The disruption, caused by landslides and debris from a nearby four-lane highway construction, suspended the service for several months. A successful trial run between Nurpur Road and Koparlahar on November 27 confirmed the readiness for full service.

This week, the Ferozepur Division of Northern Railways conducted a test run with a seven-coach train, ensuring the track could accommodate restored operations. Under the new timetable, starting 14 December, two trains will operate daily in each direction between Nurpur Road and Paprola.

The first train from Paprola will depart at 6 am, arriving at 12 pm at Nurpur Road, while the return service will leave Paprola at 3 pm, reaching Nurpur Road at 9.25 pm. On the other hand, the first train from Nurpur Road will leave at 6 am and reach Paprola at 12 pm, while the second train will depart from Nurpur Road at 2.30 pm, arriving in Paprola at 8.20 pm.

These trains will pass through key stations, including Majhehra, Palampur, Sulah, and Kangra Mandir, improving connectivity for local commuters.

The restoration follows months of advocacy by local residents and political leaders, including Kangra MP Rajiv Bhardwaj, who raised the issue in Parliament. There are also calls for the conversion of the narrow gauge track to broad gauge to enhance reliability and capacity in the future.

Known for its scenic views of the Dhauladhar Mountains, Kangra Valley Railway is a unique way to explore the natural beauty of the region. The journey takes passengers through lush valleys, tea gardens, and historical landmarks.

The restoration of these services is expected to boost tourism in the Kangra Valley, as it offers visitors easy access to some of the most picturesque landscapes in the region. This is the only train route that offers such commanding views of the Dhauladhar range, making it a must-ride for those looking to experience Kangra from a completely new perspective.
