The Aastha special trains going from Maharashtra to the holy city in Uttar Pradesh will stop at seven stations: Nagpur, Pune, Mumbai, Wardha, Jalna, and Nashik.

Ticket Bookings

The IRCTC portal, which also offers trip information, will be used to make reservations for tickets to Ayodhya for these special trains. Those who are devoted to performing Ram Lalla darshan must, however, also reserve return tickets.

These trains will be accessible for the first ninety days.

The service will be extended per the later booking response.

Railways anticipates that there will be a year-round demand for reservations for Aastha Special trains.
