Yesvantpur Junction railway station, Railway transportation hub in Bengaluru, India
Yesvantpur Junction is a railway station in Bengaluru with six platforms and two main entrances. The first entrance sits in the Yeshwantapur neighborhood, while the second connects through Tumkur Road directly to Platform 6.
The station was built to ease overcrowding at the main city station, which struggled with too many travelers. It became part of the South Western Railway and quickly grew into a major hub for long-distance connections.
Travelers often use this station as a starting point for visits to temples and religious sites in the surrounding area. The name preserves an older spelling of the neighborhood that remains in official use today.
Travelers will find six non-air-conditioned retiring rooms, twelve dormitories, and an air-conditioned VIP lounge here. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the station area, making wait times easier to manage.
The station sits at 915 meters (3,002 feet) above sea level and handles over 120 daily train services. This elevation sets it apart from many other major stations in southern India.
