Here’s what I found about the Kumbh Mela special train service (if any) between Yog Nagari Rishikesh (YNRK) and Jammu Tawi (JAT) during the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 period:
Contents
🚆 Regular Yog Nagari Rishikesh – Jammu Tawi Service (Train Nos. 14605 / 14606)
- The Yog Nagari Rishikesh–Jammu Tawi Express, with train numbers 14605 (YNRK→JAT) and 14606 (JAT→YNRK), operates as a weekly or occasional service, covering 558 km in about 11 h 35 min
- It serves multiple classes: 1A, 3A, 3E, Sleeper & General
❌ Was It a Kumbh Mela Special?
- There is no indication that 14605/14606 was specifically designated a Kumbh Mela special train in 2025.
- During the Kumbh period, Indian Railways prioritized special services focused on Prayagraj (Allahabad) rather than connecting Rishikesh directly to Jammu
- The 14605 service was also subject to cancellations during December 2025–early 2025 due to dense fog, with regular runs disrupted through the festival window
🧭 Summary Table
| Route | Train No. | Kumbh Mela Special? | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rishikesh ↔ Jammu Tawi | 14605 / 14606 | ❌ No | Weekly/occasional | Regular service, not tagged for Kumbh |
| Yog Nagari Rishikesh → Prayagraj | 14230 / others† | ✅ Yes (festival-focused) | Seasonal specials | Actually linked to Kumbh pilgrim routes |
† Example: Yog Nagari Rishikesh to Prayagraj Sangam Express runs during Kumbh
✅ Key Takeaways
- The 14605/14606 pair is the only train connecting Yog Nagari Rishikesh and Jammu Tawi; but it was not designated as a Kumbh Mela special during the 2025 festival period.
- No additional special trains were announced between YNRK and Jammu specifically for Kumbh.
- Pilgrims from Rishikesh headed to Prayagraj used dedicated Kumbh specials, not services toward Jammu.
🧳 Travel Suggestions
- If you’re planning ahead for a future Mela and wish to travel between Yog Nagari Rishikesh and Jammu, you should rely on:
- The regular 14605/14606 train (check the latest IRCTC and Northern Railway updates for operational status and schedule).
- If traveling to Prayagraj from Rishikesh during a Kumbh period, look for YNRK → Prayagraj special trains, which were actively deployed in 2025
