Pakistan is on track to welcome its first-ever tourist glass train, a landmark project aimed at promoting tourism and offering scenic railway journeys. The initiative, led by the National Engineering Services Pakistan (Nespak), is currently in its feasibility study phase, which is expected to be completed by April 30, 2025. This exciting project promises to enhance the country’s tourism infrastructure while providing breathtaking views to passengers.
The first phase of the project involves constructing a 55-kilometer railway line, starting from Islamabad’s Margalla Railway Station and passing through picturesque locations such as Bhara Kahu, Phurwaha Mor, Ghora Gali, Jhika Gali, and Bhurban. These areas are known for their natural beauty, and the glass train is expected to offer a unique and immersive travel experience.
The introduction of this glass train is seen as a significant step towards boosting tourism in Pakistan, allowing both locals and international tourists to explore the scenic landscapes in comfort. The train will likely attract visitors who want to experience the country’s rich cultural heritage and stunning natural vistas from a fresh perspective.
As excitement builds around this project, officials are optimistic about the economic and tourism benefits it will bring to the region. With the feasibility study already in motion, Pakistan’s tourism industry is poised for a new era of travel.
