Lhasa – Kathmandu Railway Mega-Engineering

On the topic there are plenty of materials and videos online on the Beijing-Lhasa Railway, especially the Qinghai-Tibet part [1].

Quite an achievement. Built on permafrost, pressurised trains, highest stretches at 5,000+m altitude.

With this extension, one day we maybe able to do Beijing-Kathmandu by train, straight through the Himalayas. And on to India? Mumbai-Beijing via Lhasa sounds like a hell of a train journey.
