The Rishikesh–Karnaprayag Railway, runs from Yog Nagari Rishikesh railway station in Rishikesh to Karnaprayag. It is Indian Railways' proposed route for the Char Dham Railway to connect to the Chota Char Dham. It is geostrategic initiative of India to counter China's expansion. The old Rishikesh railway station is located inside the town, so the railway line could not be extended through densely inhabited areas. Therefore, a new railway line was built from Virbhadra railway station and a new highly-facilitated Yog Nagari Rishikesh railway station was built in 2020. The 125 km long Rishikesh–Karnaprayag route starts at Yog Nagari Rishikesh at 385m AMSL and ends at Karnaprayag 825m AMSL. The ₹16,200 crore project will reduce Rishikesh to Karnaprayag travel time from 7 hours to 2.1 hours. It will have 16 bridges and 105 km or 85% of the project inside tunnels. A 15.1 km tunnel, reported to be the country's longest, will be built between Devprayag and Lachmoli on the route. As per the letter issued to Uttarakhand government by RVNL, the sites where railway stations will come up are — Yog Nagari Rishikesh in Rishikesh, Dehradun district, Srinagar, Tehri, Shivpuri and Byasi in Tehri district, Devprayag and Dungripanth (Dhari devi) in Pauri, Rudraprayag and Gholtir in Rudraprayag district, and Gaucher and Karanprayag in Chamoli district. The proposed 125-kilometre stretch will have 12 stations, 17 tunnels and 35 bridges. It will be constructed at a cost of Rs 16,216 crore and is expected to be completed by December 2024.
