Green Route is a segment along the Bangalore and Mangalore railway line in India, within the Western Ghat mountain ranges.

This is the railway track from Sakaleshpura (altitude 906 m MSL) to the Kukke Subramanya (altitude 120 m MSL) Road station. It is 52 km long, with around 57 tunnels and 109 bridges of length varying from few metres to 0.75 km and height varying from a few to 200 metres. The tunnels are absolute terrestrial abyss. This railway track route was trekker's favourite when trains were not running on this track(line)[1] This railway track route operated by South Western Railways has thick green vegetation besides rail line.[2][3]
