The Bhanupli–Leh line is an under-construction electrified railway track connecting Bhanupli, Punjab,[2] to Leh, Ladakh.

[3][4][5] Once complete, the 489 km (304 mi) long, 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) wide gauge all-weather track is stipulated to reduce travel time from New Delhi to Leh to 10 hours.

After the Jammu–Baramulla line, the Bhanupli–Leh line will be the most challenging railway project in Indian Railways due to high mountains, a large number of tunnels, high bridges, and severe cold weather.

[3] The construction phases are: The initial construction phase is focused on connecting the existing Bhanupli railway station in the Rupnagar district of Punjab to Barmana in the Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh.

There are five main stations in this phase: one in Punjab, at Thural; and four in Himachal Pradesh, at Dharot, Jagatkhana, Bilaspur, and Barmana.
