India’s only free train: Travel year-round without spending a penny

For over 75 years, the Bhagda-Nangal Train has run between Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, offering complimentary rides with no tickets or reservations needed. Unlike most trains managed by the Indian Railways, this train is operated by the Bhakra Beas Management Board. Initially established to transport workers, machinery, and materials for the construction of the Bhakra-Nangal Dam, this train has a rich history of serving the community.
