Uttar Pradesh Launches Vistadome Train Jungle Safari
Imagine a train with big, see-through windows and a glass roof that lets you see the jungle!
Uttar Pradesh has launched a new train like this, called a Vistadome, for a jungle safari.
It goes through forests, grasslands, and farmlands, taking you from one wildlife park to another.
The train ride takes about four and a half hours and costs a little bit to ride.
The government hopes this will bring more tourists to the area, support local jobs, and show off the state's beautiful nature.
They're even working on making it easier and cheaper to visit by offering travel packages.
Uttar Pradesh launched India's first Vistadome coach train jungle safari.
The train connects Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary with Dudhwa National Park.
The train features panoramic glass windows and a transparent rooftop.
Tickets cost ₹275 per person for the four-hour and 25-minute journey.
The Uttar Pradesh Eco Tourism Development Board is working on travel packages.
