Train tickets to Ujjain & Omkareshwar
Mahakaleshwar is about 2 km from Ujjain Junction, which every main Indore train to Delhi, Mumbai and Bhopal stops at. Omkareshwar is different: its old railway line has been closed for gauge conversion since 2023, so pilgrims take the train to Indore and go about 80 km by road. We book the trains for families and groups visiting both Jyotirlingas.

Booking a Ujjain & Omkareshwar yatra
- Mahashivratri is 6 March 2027, and the Sawan Mondays in July–August bring the Mahakal sawari crowds.
- Simhastha 2028 runs 27 March to 27 May 2028 at Ujjain; Railways plans more than 125 specials. We'll be ready for it.
- For both Jyotirlingas in one trip, book to Indore — Ujjain is an hour away and Omkareshwar a couple of hours by road.
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.
