I couldn’t find any specific Ganpati festival special trains declared between Bengaluru and Belagavi (Belgaum) for Ganesh Chaturthi 2025. But here’s what is relevant:
Contents
🚉 Existing Regular Services
- The Rani Chennamma Express (16589/16590) runs daily between Bengaluru and Belagavi with an overnight schedule:
- Departs Bengaluru (~23:00 hrs) and reaches Belagavi around 08:50 hrs the next morning.
- Return leg departs Belagavi (~15:00–16:00 hrs) and arrives Bengaluru in the early morning (~06:15 hrs).
- It’s the fastest direct overnight train on this route
🪔 Ganpati Specials — No Confirmed Service Yet
- Indian Railways has planned 262 special trains to Konkan destinations (Mumbai, Kudal, Ratnagiri, Sawantwadi Road, etc.) for Ganesh Chaturthi 2025, with bookings opening on 25 July 2025
- These specials largely originate from Mumbai, Panvel, Thane, Pune, Lokmanya Tilak Terminus—and not from Bengaluru or Belagavi directly.
- There’s no mention in official listings of a Bengaluru–Belagavi festival special train for this year
🔁 Possible Alternatives
- The Rani Chennamma Express remains your most reliable direct option between Bengaluru and Belagavi.
- In past years, COVID‑19 special trains like 06551/06552 (Yesvantpur ↔ Belagavi) were run, including occasional Ganapati-era specials in 2025–2025
- A Belagavi–Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express has been sanctioned but is still awaiting rolling stock allocation—no confirmed launch date yet
📋 Summary Table
| Route | Regular Service | Festival Special (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Bengaluru → Belagavi | Rani Chennamma Express daily | ❌ Not announced yet |
| Belagavi → Bengaluru | Rani Chennamma Express daily | ❌ Not announced yet |
| Special Summer/COVID-era | Yesvantpur–Belagavi special runs (past) | ❌ No 2025 Ganpati version |
✅ What You Can Do
- Watch for announcements in late July or early August 2025 from South Western Railway or SWR press bulletins—special trains may still be announced later.
- Monitor IRCTC or NTES, where if a Bengaluru‑Belagavi special is added it should appear under “Festive or Special Trains” once bookings open on 25 July 2025.
- Meanwhile, plan your travel via Rani Chennamma Express (16589/16590) for a reliable direct route.
- If you’re flexible with origin, Konkan specials from Mumbai or Panvel can be combined with regional connectivity to reach Belagavi.
Would you like fare estimates, PNR tracking, or help exploring alternate routes via Hubballi or Miraj if the Rani Chennamma gets fully booked?
