With the rainy season almost here, Goram Ghat, tucked into Rajasthan's Aravalli range, has come alive with tourists once again. Popularly called 'Mini Kashmir', the spot has thrown open its gates to visitors. A canopy of clouds overhead and pleasant weather have given the landscape such a striking look that onlookers can hardly take their eyes off it. The rush is so heavy that vehicles are piling up at the entry gate leading into Goram Ghat, because during the rains this stretch feels nothing short of paradise.
British-era engineering that still amazes
The place is not famous for its natural beauty alone. Around 1930, during British rule, a railway line was laid through this tough hilly terrain to link Marwar and Mewar. That feat of engineering from a bygone era still leaves people astonished. The towering railway bridges, tunnels and curving tracks make the route genuinely thrilling. As a train rolls across these bridges, the surrounding greenery and deep valleys leave travellers spellbound.
The monsoon doubles the thrill
In the rainy season, Goram Ghat looks even more spectacular. Greenery in every direction, waterfalls tumbling down the hills and valleys wrapped in clouds together create a view that feels heavenly. That is exactly why large numbers of people arrive here every year to soak in nature and take photographs. The dense forests, high hills and natural waterfalls all around make the place even more special. The calm and refreshing atmosphere offers a sense of peace far from the rush of city life.
A favourite for adventure and photography lovers
Set amid the Aravalli hills, Goram Ghat is little short of paradise for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts. Its biggest draw is the historic railway track and the magnificent bridges, which offer a remarkable glimpse of old-world engineering. Several natural tunnels cutting through dense forests and mountains double the thrill of the journey. If you love adventure, excellent opportunities for trekking await you here. The lush green valleys and stunning vistas stretching in every direction make it a perfect spot for photography. The cool breeze and quiet surroundings bring deep calm to the heart and mind, melting away the fatigue of hectic city living in an instant.
