The konkan rail route........

......The best thing about this railroute is that the journey itself is more of a picnic fun .. mainly because of the eyecatchy landscpaes... on the either sides of the rail route.. .. this is the best journey i have ever expereinced.. it was not like a travel.. it was more like a ride on a picnic train... the journey was really breathtaking....

The journey started from Mangalore to Panjim.... it was a jolly tour of some 72 guys to GOA.. and we guys usually dance, sing , play games with fellow passengers in trains... but this journey was totally different... all were allured to the beautiful landscapes scrolling across in the open...... some were even sitting on the door steps of the train......

The main attraction of this journey is the freaking dark tunnels.....
when the train enters the tunnel... darknesss fills the coach.... wow .. what a feeling that too.. water or stream just pouring from the sides of the tunnel from nowhere....sounds of water splashing on the ground... with the train sounds.. in the Hollow tunnel...cool air flowing across the face........ u will feel like singing Manzil se behthar lagne lage hain yeh rasthe....
