How we book a yatra group
Families, mandalis, sangats and company groups — the same care whatever the size.
Many PNRs, booked together
Every booking holds up to six travellers — four on Tatkal — so a group 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 traveller'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 group.
Each traveller counts
Only a confirmed berth counts, passenger by passenger. Anyone left without one gets a 100% refund, even if the others travel.
Out, onward and home
Many yatras link several places. We book every leg — out, between shrines and home — so the whole journey is planned before anyone sets off.
Invoices for trusts
When a trust, mandal or company books, we issue a GST invoice.
When the crowds travel — and when to book
Booking opens 60 days before the journey, at 8:00 AM. For festival dates, that first morning is the one that matters.
Sharad Navratri — 11–19 October 2026
Vaishno Devi's busiest season; Railways adds festival specials to Katra.
Diwali, Deepotsav & Bandi Chhor — 8 November 2026
Ayodhya's Deepotsav runs 5–8 November; the Golden Temple's Bandi Chhor Divas is the same day.

Gurpurab at Amritsar and Nanded, Dev Deepawali at Varanasi, and the Kartik Purnima fair at Somnath.

Ram Navami — 15 April 2027
Ayodhya and Shirdi's great day; booking opens in mid-February.
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.
What our customers say
“Waitlisted ticket got confirmed two days before travel. They actually followed up — rare these days.”
“Helpful agents, explained my PNR honestly instead of overpromising. Will use again.”
Pilgrimage trains, answered
Do you book hotels, darshan or helicopter tickets?+
No — we book train tickets only, and do that one thing properly. Darshan slips, helicopters and stays are booked through the shrine boards and their official channels; we make sure the trains are confirmed around them.
Can you book a whole yatra group?+
Yes. A booking holds up to six passengers (four on Tatkal), so a group is several bookings made together. We keep families and elders side by side wherever the train allows, send every PNR to the organiser on WhatsApp with a coach-and-berth list, and count confirmation passenger by passenger.
Which class is best for a pilgrimage?+
It depends on who is travelling. First AC and 2A suit elders and long overnight runs; Vande Bharat and Shatabdi Executive Chair Car suit day journeys; 3A suits most families; Sleeper works for younger groups on a budget. Many groups mix classes — we book them on the same train where we can.
How early should we book for a festival?+
As early as the dates allow. Booking opens 60 days before the journey at 8:00 AM, and for Navratri, Diwali, Gurpurab or Mahashivratri dates, the best berths go that first morning. Send the dates and the list early and we will be ready when booking opens.
