The Bhanupli–Leh line, including 63.1 km (39.2 mi) long Bhanupli-Barmana (Bilaspur) link and the 489 km (304 mi) long Bilaspur-Manali-Leh link, is an under-construction 552.1 km (343.1 mi) long 1,676 mm wide broad-gauge all-weather electrified railway track connecting Bhanupli in Punjab, to Leh in Ladakh. Passing through seismic zone IV and V at an elevation of 600 m (2,000 ft) to 5,360 m (17,590 ft) above sea level, this geostrategically important track will reduce travel time from New Delhi to Leh to 10 hours, which takes 25-40 hours by road.
