Udaipur's Special Train for Maha Kumbh Faces Waiting List

udaipur train update

Udaipur, January 16, 2025 - The Railways have introduced a special train from Udaipur to Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh, but the demand has exceeded supply. The train, which was announced recently, has already been fully booked, leaving many travelers from the Mewar region disappointed.

One Special Train for Mewar

Under the Maha Kumbh Special Train initiative, a train (No. 09609) is set to depart from Udaipur to Dhanbad on January 19 at 1:00 PM. The train will reach Prayagraj on January 20, but all seats were booked immediately after the announcement. A waiting list has already been formed, and no Tatkal tickets are available.

Other Cities Have More Options

While the special train initiative offers multiple trains from cities like Jaipur, Kota, and Agra, Udaipur and the surrounding Mewar region only have one train. This has led to dissatisfaction among residents from Udaipur, Rajsamand, Dungarpur, and Chittorgarh, who are now left with limited options.

No Royal Bath for Travelers

The special train is set to return on January 22, but it will miss the royal baths that are a key feature of the Kumbh. The royal baths on January 13 and 14 have already taken place, and the remaining ones are scheduled for later dates, such as January 29 and February 2. Travelers on this special train will miss the opportunity to attend these significant events.

Many Inquiries, No Solutions

Residents of Udaipur and nearby districts have been visiting the reservation offices daily to inquire about trains to Prayagraj. Despite their efforts, the lack of additional trains has left many disappointed. The single train provided for the Mewar region is not enough to meet the high demand for travel to the Maha Kumbh.
