It's rainy season and time to travel the Western ghats. Mumbai Pune road and the rail route wears a green velvet dress in this season.
Last monsoon could not follow the yearly ritual of traveling this path due to Covid 19 epidemic.
This monsoon we were armored with two doses of vaccine. One more reason and a prominent one was travelling in Vista Dome by Deccan express. So when a chance beckoned us, we grabbed the opportunity!
For those who are yet to know about Vista Dome, it's a world class coach made by Indian railways.
What's different in it?
It provides a magnificent view of the surroundings.
Why?
Because it has large windows and a cabin at the back with a glass side!
The windows are nearly 5-6 feet wide! So without any obstruction, passengers can view the greenery, the waterfalls, the mountains and the valleys. The outside view gives a feeling like huge paintings are hung on the walls of the coach!!

The wide windowpanes and glass roof offer an awesome view and a sense of openness to the coach. The pushback seats are very comfortable and can be rotated in 360 degrees.
Needless to say that this ultramodern facility comes with electric charging stations for phones and airplane like toilets.😁
There is a separate racks cabin for keeping luggage so that the luggage won't hinder the rotation of the seats.
No wonder this coach attached to Deccan express which runs between Mumbai and
Pune is running mostly at 100 percent capacity.

It's one of the few trains in the country, which can be measured on fingers of a hand, having this state of art facility. Initiated in June 2021, this Vista dome surely offers an unforgettable and unique view of scenic Western Ghats.
Crisp and informative!!!
