Amdavadis will soon be able to travel to Ambaji by train starting in 2027. The project for this has already begun, with 20% of the work completed by the railways.

Currently, there is only one way to travel from Ahmedabad to Ambaji, which is by road. However, the railway has started working on a project to connect Ahmedabad to Ambaji via rail. The total distance covered by the railway line will be 116 kilometers.

The railway line will pass over  six rivers and 60 villages. It is expected that 104 villages will benefit from this project.

It will pass through Mehsana, Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, and Sirohi, Rajasthan. A total of 15 stations will be built along the route to connect to Ambaji.

The Ministry of Railways has planned the construction of the Ambaji station and is also working on making affordable hotels in the nearby area for devotees to stay. A subway will also be constructed to allow passengers to travel between platforms.

Construction of the Ambaji railway station has begun, and the station will be located near the Ambaji temple in Chikhla.

Currently, 90% of the land required for leveling the station area has been completed, and 70% of the land required for the road leading to the station has been cleared.
