Places To Visit Near Chenab Bridge: Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently inaugurated the Chenab Railway Bridge in Jammu and Kashmir. The 1315-meter-long Chenab Bridge is counted among the highest bridges in the world and is even higher than the Eiffel Tower. After the construction of this bridge, it will become very easy to reach Srinagar from Jammu Tawi via Katra by rail and the journey will also take less time.

Till now the Indian Railways was limited to the Union Territory of Jammu. On booking a train ticket, the train going to Jammu and Kashmir did not go to the capital Srinagar, but only to Jammu Tawi. People had to travel further by road to Srinagar (Kashmir Valley). The distance from Jammu Tawi to Srinagar is about 350 km. It takes about six hours to complete the journey.

However, in the winter season, there is a danger of the road being closed after snowfall, due to which one has to wait for the weather to improve to reach Kashmir or one has to resort to an air route from any city of India. But now one can reach Srinagar from Jammu Tawi by rail. If you have gone to Vaishno Devi Dham, then you can travel by train from Katra to Kashmir. Apart from this, there are many other beautiful places near Chenab Railway Bridge, whose view you can see during the train journey. Also, if you want to see them closely, then you can also reach there. Let us know about these wonderful places with amazing beauty located near Chenab Railway Bridge.
