    For the first time in India, a railway station will be built inside a tunnel at a height of 3,000m, on the strategic Bilaspur-Manali-Leh line close to the Sino-India border. While many metro stations in Delhi and other cities are inside tunnels, once completed, the Keylong station in Himachal Pradesh will be the first on Indian Railways' network to be inside a tunnel.

    Keylong is the administrative center of Lahaul and Spiti district, 26km north of Manali and 120km from the Indo-Tibetan border. "The Keylong station, in the project, will be inside the tunnel according to the first phase of the location survey...When the final surveys are completed, there could be many such stations on the route," DR Gupta, Chief Engineer (Construction), Northern Railway, said.
