Indian Railways To Revamp 5 Nashik Stations Ahead Of Kumbh Mela, Know More
Last Updated: With a Rs 1,011 crore boost, five railway stations in Nashik are getting a big makeover to manage massive pilgrim rush during Simhastha Kumbh Mela. Indian Railways has announced a major revamp of five key stations in Nashik district – Nashik Road, Devlali, Odha, Kasbe Sukene, and Kherwadi. Approved by Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Rs 1,011 crore plan aims to improve passenger facilities and train handling capacity in time for the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela. As per TOI, during a review meeting, top railway officials including Minister of State Ravneet Singh Bittu, evaluated detailed proposals presented by Central Railway's senior team. Which Stations Are Getting Upgraded? Devlali Station Devlali, located near Nashik Road station on the Mumbai side, will see the addition of three new platforms. Two of them will manage traffic from Mumbai and Nashik separately, while the third will cater to passing trains. The station will also get six new lines – including pit lines, sick lines, and stabilising lines – for better train maintenance and parking. Nashik Road Station With space limitations, the focus here is on adding two parking lines. Platform 1 will be extended to fit 24-coach trains, and Platform 4 will be upgraded to serve trains from both directions. This station will become a key holding area during the mela, with five new stabilising lines and a third platform. During non-mela periods, Odha will be used for agricultural and goods transport. Kasbe Sukene & Kherwadi Stations Kasbe Sukene's platform will be extended to handle 22-coach trains, double the current capacity. Kherwadi will get two new platforms to accommodate 24-coach trains. What Other Facilities Are Being Added? Every station will be equipped with a special 'Mela Tower'—a hub for CCTV surveillance, announcements, control rooms, security, and large holding areas for pilgrims. Wider foot overbridges will also be built for safer and quicker movement. When Will It All Be Ready? About half of the work has already started. The rest will begin soon, with land acquisition likely from January 2026. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

From Sightseeing To Stillness: Why Slow Travel And Hostels Are The New Travel Luxury
As millennials and Gen Z look out for slow travel opportunites, the hostel culture is becoming one of the most hottest travel trends. There was a time when travel meant ticking landmarks off a list, snapping selfies in front of monuments, and rushing from one itinerary checkpoint to another. But a quiet shift is underway, one that's replacing 'how much did you see?" with 'how deeply did you feel?" Enter the era of slow travel, a rising movement where young adults, especially Gen Z and millennials, are choosing depth over distance. Think reading in a hammock while it rains outside, hiking misty trails at your own pace, or simply doing nothing at all without guilt. The journey now is less about covering ground and more about grounding oneself. At the centre of this transformation is the hostel culture, reimagined not as just affordable accommodation, but as a canvas for connection and culture. 'Hostels are no longer just about beds; they're about bonfire nights, book corners, chai sessions with strangers-turned-friends, and the freedom to just be," says Pranav Dangi, CEO & Founder of Hosteller. With cosy lounges, reading nooks, nature-view balconies, and community events, hostels have become sanctuaries for travellers seeking stillness over speed. During the monsoons, this culture comes alive in ways no checklist ever could. Picture sipping coffee in a hillside hostel as rain dances on the windows, or sharing stories with fellow travellers around a crackling fire. It's not about seeing everything, it's about feeling something real. With communal lounges, reading nooks, and scenic balconies, hostels offer an inviting setting for travellers to unwind, share stories, or simply soak in their surroundings. During the monsoons, this culture blooms. From hillside hostels drenched in mist to shared treks through dew-covered forests, these stays transform a trip into a sensory escape. 'When you pause and let the rain slow you down, that's when the real travel begins," Dangi shares. There's a psychological comfort that hostels provide, a rare blend of solitude and social connection. 'More young travelers are now choosing hostels because they offer something most hotels don't: human connection and creative freedom," Dangi notes. This isn't about five-star indulgence, but about making meaningful memories. As Dangi explains, 'More young travelers are now choosing hostels because they offer something most hotels don't: human connection and creative freedom." Whether it's journaling in silence, jamming on a rooftop at sunset, or going on impromptu treks, hostels now enable more than travel; they enable presence. What's unfolding is not a fleeting trend but a redefinition of what it means to wander. In this new rhythm of travel, hostels are no longer pit stops; they're places to pause, reflect, and reconnect. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 15:30 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
