Namo Bharat Train to Link Gaya and Ayodhya in Six Hours

Indian Railways will launch the Namo Bharat Rapid Rail between Gaya and Ayodhya to improve regional connectivity and reduce travel time from over nine hours to around six. Covering four hundred eight kilometres, the service aligns with the government’s goal to offer eco-friendly transport solutions.

The train is set to operate six days a week, excluding Sundays, with departures from Gaya at 05:00 hours and arrivals in Ayodhya Dham by 11:00 hours. Return trips will leave Ayodhya Dham at 17:00 hours and reach Gaya at 23:00 hours.

The route includes key stops such as Rafiganj, Sasaram, DD Upadhyaya Junction, Kashi, Varanasi Junction, Jaunpur Junction, Shahganj Junction, Akbarpur, and Goshainganj. The train will have sixteen air-conditioned coaches for passenger comfort.

Fares are expected to be unreserved and around Rs 500, making it an affordable option for tourists and commuters. Operating at up to one hundred thirty kilometres per hour, the train promotes energy efficiency and helps cut road traffic emissions.

This launch marks a step in Indian Railways’ broader push to modernise infrastructure and promote sustainable travel across the country.
