The concept of ‘Bharat Gaurav’ train has been a huge success over South Central Railway, which is visible in the consistent 100% patronage of recent trips towards Kashi & surrounding places. Enthused by the spontaneous response of rail passengers, the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has planned new tourist circuit for operation of Bharat Gaurav trains covering other renowned and important pilgrim destinations across India.

As part of it, IRCTC has announced a new tourist package namely “Mata Vaishno Devi, Haridwar and Rishikesh”, Bharat Gaurav Tourist Train starting from Secunderabad Railway Station. The train will cover important pilgrim and historical places in Northern part of the country, while providing boarding / de-boarding facility at seven important enroute stations in Telangana and Maharashtra.
