Train tickets to Dwarka

The Dwarkadhish temple, one of the Char Dham, is about 2 km from Dwarka station, and Nageshwar Jyotirlinga is about 16–18 km away. Almost every train starts or ends at Okha, just beyond Dwarka, and stops at Dwarka on the way — the Vande Bharat from Ahmedabad and the Saurashtra Mail from Mumbai among them. We book the trains for families and groups.

From our desk

Booking a Dwarka yatra

  • Janmashtami falls on 25 August 2027 — Dwarka's busiest day. Festival specials are usually unreserved, so book regular trains early.
  • Holi and Phuldol (around 22 March 2027) draw lakhs of devotees.
  • Dwarka and Somnath are linked by a daily train with First AC — the two Jyotirlingas of Saurashtra in one yatra.
For sanghs and families

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.

Our promise

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.
