 The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has announced its first-ever Bharat Gaurav Tourist Train to Nepal. Named the Pashupatinath Nepal Darshan Yatra, the special tour has been designed to offer travellers a blend of spiritual exploration, cultural immersion and natural beauty.

A Journey Through Nepal’s Most Iconic Destinations

The journey is scheduled to commence from Indore on June 24, 2026. After a train journey of approximately 38 to 42 hours, passengers will arrive at Raxaul in Bihar. From there, they will cross into Nepal and continue by road to some of the country’s most celebrated destinations, including Chitwan, Pokhara and Kathmandu.

The itinerary covers several renowned attractions such as Pashupatinath Temple, Manakamana Temple, Phewa Lake and Chitwan National Park. One of the key highlights of the tour is a visit to the revered Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, one of the most significant Hindu pilgrimage sites dedicated to Lord Shiva and a major draw for Indian devotees.

Travellers will also have the opportunity to experience the famous ropeway ride to Manakamana Temple, perched atop a hill and regarded as one of Nepal’s most important religious shrines. For nature enthusiasts, a jeep safari in Chitwan National Park has been included, offering a chance to spot wildlife such as one-horned rhinoceroses, elephants and the elusive Bengal tiger in their natural habitat.

The return journey will begin on July 1, when tourists will travel by road back to Raxaul before boarding the Bharat Gaurav Train for Indore. The train is expected to reach Indore on July 3, passing through Satna, Katni, Jabalpur, Narsinghpur, Itarsi, Rani Kamlapati, Sehore, Shujalpur and Ujjain.
