Motivated by the positive feedback, the
indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has scheduled a second 'Bharat Gaurav' tourist
train journey, which would depart from
secunderabad and be called Punya Kshetra Yaatra:
ayodhya - Kashi. On July 9, the special
train would leave from the
secunderabad railway station and travel for nine days, taking pilgrims to several holy locations including Gaya, Varanasi,
ayodhya, and Prayagraj.
According to railway officials, the tour provides a special chance for
train passengers from
telangana and
andhra pradesh to perform the Pind Pradan rituals (paying respect to their ancestors) in Gaya or to have darshan of the recently built
ram Janmabhoomi (Ayodhya) and one of the Jyotirlinga (Kashi Vishwanath Temple) for spiritual enlightenment.
Importantly, the
train offers boarding and de-boarding facilities for travelers at Vijayawada, Eluru, Rajahmundry, Samalkot, Visakhapatnam (Pendurthi), Vizianagaram, and Titlagarh in Andhra Pradesh; and
secunderabad, Kazipet (Warangal),
khammam in Telangana.
The entire
journey will take place over eight nights and nine days, and the package will assist in avoiding all the challenges associated with independent planning and making the necessary preparations for the travelers, such as appropriate trains, lodging, meals, etc.
All travel amenities (including
rail and road transportation), lodging, food, professional and amiable tour guides,
train security, public announcements in every coach, travel insurance, and the availability of
irctc tour managers for assistance are all included in the trip.
The Bharat Gaurav Tourist Circuit
train presents an excellent chance for all
rail travelers in
telangana and
andhra pradesh to visit significant pilgrimage sites, according to Arun Kumar Jain, General Manager of South Central Railway.
He said that the train's end-to-end
services have helped reduce time for travelers by eliminating the need for individual planning, and they are also cost-effective.
