Train tickets to Meerut for Hastinapur
Hastinapur is sacred to both traditions: the birthplace of Shantinath, Kunthunath and Aranath, and the place where Rishabhdev broke his fast with sugarcane juice — remembered on Akshaya Tritiya, when Shwetambar varshitap paranas are held. The railhead is Meerut City, about 40 km away, on the line from Delhi to Dehradun and Haridwar. We book the trains for families and sanghs.

Booking a Hastinapur yatra
- Akshaya Tritiya — around 8–9 May 2027; confirm with the tirth committee — is the busiest day, with varshitap paranas. Book as soon as the date opens.
- Trains from Meerut City run straight to Shri Mahaveerji, so a Hastinapur–Shri Mahavirji yatra is easy to plan.
- From Delhi it can be simplest to go by road; for families from farther away, we book First AC to Meerut City.
How we book a sangh
The same care on every booking — whether it is a family of six or a sangh of two hundred.
Many PNRs, booked together
Every booking holds up to six yatris — four on Tatkal — so a sangh is several bookings made together, with families kept side by side wherever the train allows.
Elders in the right berth
First AC and 2A for elders who need comfort and lower berths, 3A and Sleeper where that suits the group. We ask about every yatri's needs before booking.
One list on WhatsApp
Every PNR reaches the organiser on WhatsApp, with a list of who is in which coach and berth — ready to share with the sangh.
Each yatri counts
Only a confirmed berth counts, passenger by passenger. Anyone in the sangh left without one gets a 100% refund, even if the others travel.
Onward and return together
Long yatras link several tirths. We book every leg — out, between tirths and home — so the whole journey is planned before anyone sets off.
Invoices for trusts
When a trust, samaj or company books, we issue a GST invoice.
Only a confirmed berth counts. RAC doesn't.
App guarantees treat RAC as a success: you share a berth overnight and they pay nothing. We don't. If we can't deliver a confirmed (CNF) berth, you get a 100% refund, no questions asked — usually the same day, and always within 48 hours of asking — or the alternative that suits you better.
