उम्दा pics.👍 Great Great Great Great Great
Some of the snaps clicked by me on during travel from MLN to BIC in Vistadome coaches. This section comes under North Eastern railway, Lucknow division and It is MG and will never be converted to BG. This section covers the dense forest of Dudhwa and Katarnia Ghat. One can witness many wild animals such as Beer, Deer, Raindeer, Panther,Leopard and many different species of birds. This section reminds the old railway system where loco pilot exchange tokens at every station, Manual crossing gate and every station is surrounded of dense forest. Ghaghra river and Sharda river makes this section even more beautiful. The trains speed in forest is reduced to 30 40kmph so it takes more than 4 hour to cover 107KM.One must travel once on this section as we don't know when Govt can take decision for its GC. In these trains you can witness the best moments.

Are the Vistadome coaches of this train airconditioned? Also, did you have to reach MLN one day earlier in order to catch this train early morning?

Yes they were air-conditioned but now it is detached and not operational from last 1 year.
And regarding connectivity you need to reach 1 day earlier if you are planning to travel from Mailani to Nanpara. This is a remote area and no accommodation facilities available there so plan accordingly.

Re# 5196830-18              
If you are planning to travel in MG trains,
Board any train from LJN/DAL to GK, take a room at Gola Gokarannath.
Then take a bus to Mailani in the morning which is 1hr journey and then board 05362 from Mailani at 8:50AM

Is Gola Gokaranath a bigger place than MLN? I thought Mailani was a bigger station?

Some Hidden and Unique Rail Routes of Central UP.

1) Lucknow-Mailani-Pilibhit Route :
This route offers some of the most breathtaking natural scenic views. The train passes through open fields of Sitapur, the dense Mala Forest, the Himalayan Terai region, and the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, providing a true sense of closeness to nature.

...

to travel: Passenger train between Mailani and Pilibhit.


2) Unnao-Balamau Route :
For agricultural nature enthusiasts, this route is a gem. The train passes through dense mango orchards and the fertile Gangetic alluvial plains, showcasing crops in all seasons. It’s a scenic journey through open fields full of crops and lined with fruitful mango trees. This route is a must-visit during the monsoon.
Trains to travel: Kanpur Balamau Passenger, Kanpur Sitapur Passenger, and Kanpur Jammu Tawi Express.


3) Mailani-Nanpara Metre Gauge Route :
Beauty of this route can't be expressed by words. Passing through the incredibly dense Dudhwa National Park, running near the international border, and featuring the nostalgic charm of metre gauge, this journey is truly unique.
The sight of a YDM-4 locomotive chugging through the quite forest creates an unparalleled sense of serene isolation in the heart of the jungle.
That silence of Jungle, that iconic sound of YDM-4, the darkness of nature, that feeling, that vibe. Ahh, can't be expressed by words.
Trains to travel: Mailani-Nanpara MG Passenger and Bichhiya Tourist Train.

Re# 6184126-2              
Whilst the first route is quite easily accessible now from LJN, the second has been woefully neglected by IR. I traveled on a small stretch of it once and the mps was quite low. IR needs to upgrade that stretch and run more trains via it.

The third stretch sadly, is the toughest to access now considering that it ends at Nanpara only instead of Bahraich after GC. Due to Dudwa National park, it won't be converted into BG, but one probably needs to spend a night a MLN to access an

That's really the issue with Mailani Nanpara MG route.
As a railfan, I to want to travel on this route but due to its odd timing, I can't 😕.
There should be atleast a single train which leaves on mid-day from Mailani.

They should run this tourist special at late morning. It can still go to Bichia and return just in time for a pax to catch either the last passenger or MLN-GKP Express.

A memorable ride, on one of the very few Meter Gauge Vistadome coach, everything is a breeze in the face except the awkward timings of this train.

Not convenient for family due to timings and Bichia as a destination.
No food enroute.
No

Not even a water bottle.

Instead of going to MLN prior, take any train in midnight till GD from LKO and board 05371 from GD to BRK.
MLN is a remote area and do not have any hotels where you can stay.

Yes, I had explored this option before and thought it is the best thing to do. Gonda also has retiring rooms, I think, as well. Mailani is desolate at night.
