Indian Railways is considered the backbone of the country's transportation. Almost all corners of the country are connected by Indian Railways. Apart from local trains, there are also express trains for long-distance travel. But today we are going to give you such information, which you will be happy to hear. Because you can travel to a total of 8 places with a single ticket.
You will not have to pay any separate money for this. Additionally, you will be saved from the hassle of purchasing tickets again and again.
How many places can one visit with one ticket?
Circular Journey Tickets (Indian Railways Circular Journey Tickets) were started last year. But still, very few people know about it. A circular journey ticket allows you to visit a maximum of 8 stations.
You can buy one ticket for a total of 8 stops. If you want to go from one place to another and there are two stations on the way, then just buy a ticket and your work will be done.
Example- If you have taken a train from Delhi to Gujarat, then you have to come back by the same train and come to Delhi only. Meaning, you will have to end your journey at the same place from where you started. You will not have to spend on two separate tickets for commuting. The ticket taken by you remains valid for 56 days.
Ticket facility
You can also book it directly from the IRCTC website. Also, you have the option to book tickets for any class from First Class to Sleeper Class.
If you are taking this ticket, keep in mind that you will have to cover a minimum distance of 1000 km. Through this, a discount of 40 percent has been given to senior citizens (men) and 50 percent to senior citizens (women). The fare for circular journey tickets is also lower than that of normal tickets.
Take care
Here's a little twist for those travelling through it. If you are travelling by this ticket, you have to end your journey at the same stop from where you started your journey.
Indian Railways has brought this circular journey ticket facility mainly for tourists and pilgrims. For this reason, you can do the entire journey with just one ticket. Circular journey tickets will save you from the hassle of purchasing tickets again and again and will also reduce your expenses.
