Train tickets to Puri for Jagannath
Puri station is about 3 km from the Shri Jagannath Temple, and every train from Delhi to Puri starts or ends there — the Purushottam daily, with First AC, among them. From Howrah there are a Vande Bharat, a Shatabdi and a Duronto. During yard works some trains have used Malatipatpur, just outside Puri, so we confirm the station on every booking.

Booking a Puri yatra
- Rath Yatra 2027 is most likely Monday 5 July 2027 — the temple administration confirms the date. Railways runs hundreds of Rath Yatra specials, mostly within the east.
- From Mumbai, two weekly LTT–Puri trains carry First AC; from Ahmedabad and Surat, several weekly trains run with 2A.
- From Hyderabad and Pune there's no direct train — we connect you via Howrah, Bhubaneswar or Visakhapatnam.
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.
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.
