The Kashi Mahakal Express, the third private train of IRCTC, will start from today. The train service will link the three Jyotirlinga – Omkareshwar near Indore, Mahakaleshwar, in Ujjain and Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi.

Kashi Mahakal Express will follow a dynamic fare structure like the other two Tejas Express trains. According to IRCTC, a one way journey from Varanasi to Indore in Kashi Mahakal Express will cost Rs.1951.
Indore-Varanasi Kashi Mahakal Express will be the first private train that will run overnight. For a comfortable long distance journey, the train will feature a host of facilities. IRCTC will serve vegetarian food, housekeeping services, on-board security services and bedrolls. Along with that, every passenger will be provided complimentary travel insurance of 10 lakh.
The tickets of IRCTC run Kashi Mahakal Express will be available for booking on their website and the mobile app ‘Irctc Rail Connect’. Authorized agents and online travel partners of IRCTC can also book tickets for travelers.
The train will have an advance reservation period of 120 days and will only have the general and foreign tourist quotas.
