The world’s highest railway arch bridge.
Some journeys are transportation from point A to point B.
Some are experiences.

The project features the Chenab Rail Bridge, the world’s highest railway arch bridge, which stands 359 metres above the riverbed—higher than the Eiffel Tower. The 1,315-metre-long steel structure is engineered to withstand extreme seismic activity and high wind conditions.
Sharing his reaction, Anand Mahindra said he has added the journey to his bucket list.
He wrote: “Vande Bharat gliding across the Chenab Rail Bridge. The world’s highest railway arch bridge. Some journeys are transportation from point A to point B. Some are experiences. This one has definitely made it to my bucket list.”
