Rail transport in Bhutan

However, Bhutan and India have signed a memorandum of understanding to connect Bhutan with the Indian Railways network.[1] On January 25, 2005, the King of Bhutan and Indian Prime Minister agreed to carry out a feasibility study for rail links.

There is no rail transport in Bhutan.

Possible routes are Hasimara–Phuentsholing with a branch to Pasaka (18 km); Kokrajhar–Gelephu (70 km); Pathsala–Naglam (40 km); Rangla–Darranga–Samdrupjongkar (60 km); and Banarhat–Samtse.[2] The railways in Bhutan will be built in 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge.
