The railways are set to introduce a Bharat Gaurav Deluxe AC Tourist Train to showcase Gujarat under the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat programme on Sunday.
Indian Railways has created a highly unique trip called ‘Garvi Gujarat’ to highlight the spiritual and cultural heritage of the vibrant Gujarat State by operating its Bharat Gaurav Deluxe AC Tourist Train under the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat programme, according to an official statement on Sunday.
The government of India's programme "Dekho Apna Desh" to boost domestic tourism is in line with the inauguration of the Bharat Gaurav Tourist Train.
On February 28, the IRCTC-run special tourist train will leave Delhi's Safdarjung Railway Station for an eight-day journey. For the convenience of visitors, boarding and deboarding facilities are available at the railway stations at Gurugram, Rewari, Ringas, Phullera, and Ajmer.
The Statue of Unity will be the main attraction at Kevadiya, which is where this train travel package's first stop has been placed. Over the course of its eight-day voyage, the entire train will travel around 3500 KM.
