🚫 No Direct Kumbh Special Okha–Dehradun Trains
- While there was no special service introduced on the Okha–Dehradun corridor specifically for the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela, several Kumbh specials were operated from western regions like Gujarat and Rajasthan—mainly towards Prayagraj, which was the event location. These did not include Dehradun-bound trains
- The Uttaranchal Express (Train Nos. 19565/19566) is a regular weekly LHB superfast train connecting Okha and Dehradun, introduced in the 2000s to link Gujarat with Uttarakhand. It is not a Kumbh-special train
✅ Summary Table
| Route | Kumbh Special? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Okha → Dehradun | ❌ No | Uttaranchal Express is regular weekly service, not designated for Kumbh |
| Okha → Prayagraj or Dehradun → Prayagraj | ✅ Yes | Numerous pilgrim-special trains originating from these regions ended at Prayagraj, not Dehradun |
ℹ️ Additional Context
- Indian Railways operated around 3,000 special trains targeting Prayagraj, not Dehradun, given the Mela’s location
- Western Railway especially ran 98 special services primarily from Gujarat toward Prayagraj, but not Dehradun
If you’re interested, I can provide information on:
- OKHA-origin pilgrim specials to Prayagraj
- Kumbh-bound services from Dehradun or Haridwar
- Other regional trains adjusted or extended for this period
