The tourist train between Visakhapatnam and Araku Valley has got the long-awaited European makeover in form of Vistadome glass coaches, which are somewhat modeled on the Glacier Express in Switzerland.<\/strong> The first of its kind in India, the air-conditioned Vistadome coaches fitted to the Visakhapatnam-Araku Valley passenger train will spellbind travelers with panoramic views of nature through large glass windows and a glass-domed ceiling, thereby giving them a feel of the Swiss Alps train.<\/p>\n

Visakhapatnam, a short flight away from Hyderabad RGI Airport<\/a><\/span>, is a popular tourist destination in Andhra Pradesh. Traveling the Visakhapatnam-Araku Valley route by train is one of the most scenic train journeys<\/a><\/span> in India.<\/strong> On top of that, the newly launched Vistadome coaches are a pure delight to tourists. The Vistadome train coaches come with a host of breathtaking features including special observation lounges and push-back chairs with rotating seats.<\/p>\n

\"Vistadome<\/a><\/p>\n

Among the unique features of Vistadome coaches of the Visakhapatnam-Araku Valley passenger train are double-wide reclining seats with a 360-degree rotating facility for an overwhelming joy of sightseeing.<\/strong> Each of the two Vistadome coaches cost INR 3.38 crore for 40 seats. Tourists now can drink to the beauty of natural sights along the 128-km route from Visakhapatnam to Araku Valley while sitting on the reclining, rotating, pushback chairs.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the most fascinating about the Vistadome coaches is the glass ceiling with electrically controlled transparency.<\/strong> To say precisely, opalescence of the glass-domed roof can be controlled to delight travelers with crystal-clear views of the outer world during the journey. Passengers of the Visakhapatnam-Araku Valley train can climb to special observation lounges in the Vistadome coaches for more spectacular views.<\/p>\n

The Vistadome coaches are also fitted with automatic sliding doors and multi-tier luggage racks.<\/strong> The modern amenities that the glass coaches are equipped with for convenience of travelers include LED lights, GPS-enabled info system, and multiple TV screens for infotainment, according to the press release issued by Indian Railways<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\n

The Vistadome coaches were launched for a trial run on the Visakhapatnam-Araku Valley route. Tickets for rides in these coaches will be available from April 18 for use from April 19, 2017. A ride in the Vistadome coaches may cost around INR 600.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Reportedly, two similar coaches with the same features will be added to tourist trains in Kashmir Valley in order to promote tourism.<\/p>\n
