The Himsagar Express is no less than a lively achievement of the Indian Railways. The applause lies in the fact that it is the train running on the longest route of India. Beginning from Jammu Tawi Railway Station, Himsagar Express heads for Kanyakumari

JJ SHROFF

for academic record, Kota Parcel running between Vaisak and Kota takes longest time because of longer haults.
Other wise Himsagar express is the longest route.

FROM ALIPI TO NEW DELHI A LONGEST TRAIN ROUTE IN INDIA.

indiano

the himsagar express between jammu and kanyakumari. distance: 3720 kms. Time taken: 71 hours. 77 halts in between.

"him" = snow. "sagar=sea". The train goes from the Himalayan mountains to the southern tip (seaside) of India. That's why the train is called "himsagar".

You can see the train route here on Google Maps...

jammu kashmir to kanyakumari

Kishor

Jammu-Kanyakumari,however doing a Guwati to Kanyakumari may take longer.

aravind don

obviously the himsagar express but the train frm banglore to guwahati takes close to 3.5 days so if they plan a train frm trivandrum to silchar it would take more time than this

vakayil k
