Konkan's scenic views steal the show

While the train's interiors and food offer a glimpse of the onboard experience, it is the scenic beauty along the Konkan route that stands out in the video.

As the Vande Bharat Express travels through the region, passengers can enjoy views of lush green fields, trees, hills, bridges and tunnels. The changing landscapes make the journey a visual treat for travellers.

The Mumbai-Goa Vande Bharat Express connects Thane with Madgaon, covering approximately 581 km in around 7 hours and 45 minutes.

Instagram user compares train and flight journeys

Sharing his experience, Bhaliwade highlighted the scenic beauty of the Konkan region and the comfort of travelling by train. He wrote, “Mumbai to Goa… beautiful Konkan views, tunnels, bridges, greenery and a comfortable train journey.”

He also drew a comparison between travelling by flight and train, pointing out that while flights help passengers reach their destinations faster, train journeys offer their own memorable experiences.

“Flight se destination jaldi pahunch jaate hain, Lekin train se safar ke nazare bhi kuch kam nahi hote!” he wrote.

Concluding his post, Bhaliwade shared a thought about enjoying the experience of travelling rather than focusing only on reaching the destination: “Sometimes, it's not just about reaching the destination… It's about enjoying the journey!”
