Patna Rajdhani tickets
One of the fastest premium overnight trains between Delhi and Patna, and the first choice of Bihar's professionals, officials and families going home. It runs every day — and around Chhath, Diwali and Holi it is among the hardest premium tickets to get in north India.

3A carries the most berths and is the realistic target inside a month of travel. 2A is where most premium travellers want to be for an overnight journey, and it fills well ahead of festival dates. 1A is a small inventory — for a family trip home at Chhath it is usually gone the week booking opens.
Comparing every train on this corridor, not just the Patna Rajdhani?
All Delhi to Patna trains →Who travels the Patna Rajdhani, and when
Steady year-round movement of professionals, students and government travellers, with sharp spikes around Chhath, Diwali and Holi when the whole Delhi–Bihar corridor fills within days. The journey back to Delhi after a festival is as hard to book as the journey home.
Booking the Patna Rajdhani without getting caught out
- Book the return when you book the outbound. After Chhath, getting back to Delhi is as contested as getting home.
- Rajendra Nagar Terminal is a few kilometres from Patna Junction — check which suits where you are staying before choosing between trains.
- When the Rajdhani will not confirm, other overnight services on the corridor in the same class often will. We check them together.

What our customers say
“Got a confirmed Rajdhani ticket to Mumbai when every app showed waitlist. Quick and professional.”
“I travel Delhi–Mumbai almost every week. When Tatkal sells out in seconds, these are the people I message. They have confirmed seats for me more times than I can count, on Rajdhani and Vande Bharat both.”
Patna Rajdhani, answered
Does the Patna Rajdhani run every day?+
Yes, it runs daily between New Delhi and Rajendra Nagar Terminal in Patna. Daily running helps on ordinary dates, but not at festival time, when everyone wants to travel in the same few days.
How early should I book the Patna Rajdhani for Chhath or Diwali?+
On the morning booking opens — 60 days before your travel date, at 8:00 AM. On the busiest festival dates, general quota can go the same day. Our Diwali & Chhath page shows the opening date for each travel day.
Which class confirms most often on the Patna Rajdhani?+
3A, because it has the most berths and the most cancellations flowing back. On festival dates 2A sometimes still has space when 3A is waitlisted, so we check both before you pay.
