Rail transport in Nepal


Rail transport in Nepal consists of only two railway lines. Both lines are operated by Nepal Railways on the Nepalese side.

The JainagarJanakpur line was initially built in 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge. This line is under gauge conversion to 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge. The line also will be extended to Bardibas through Bijalpura.

The RaxaulSirsiya line is a 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge line and is only used for freight. It allows container traffic to be imported to Nepal through the Sirsiya dry port container depot.

The capital, Kathmandu, has no railway connections.

A line linking India with Lhasa in Tibet through Kathmandu has been proposed by K.P. Oli government.
