Single Train Ticket:
Indian Railways offers many facilities for passengers, but one of the least-known options is the Circular Journey Ticket (CJT). This ticket allows travelers to visit multiple cities across the country with just one ticket, making long trips easier and more affordable.
For example, you can start from New Delhi and travel to places like Mumbai, Goa, Bengaluru, Mysuru, Ooty, Thiruvananthapuram, Madurai, and Kanyakumari before returning to Delhi. Such a journey can cover thousands of kilometers and last several weeks. In fact, some circular tickets are valid for up to 56 days, giving travelers enough time to explore.
These tickets are not available online. Passengers must visit the nearest major railway station such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, or Chennai. At the reservation counter, you need to submit a form with details of your planned journey, including starting point, intermediate stops, and travel dates. The station master or reservation officer will then prepare your ticket.
The cost depends on the distance and the class of travel you choose. However, these tickets are usually 20% to 30% cheaper than buying separate tickets for each city. The special telescopic fare system makes the overall price more economical.
