✅ Planning Recommendation

  • These special-fare Sabarimala specials (07161/07162) are low-priority trains, often subject to delays and frequent cancellation.
  • As of now, only limited runs occurred in early 2025, and later services were cancelled.
  • For more consistent reliability, consider regular express options like the Sabari Express (17229/17230) which runs daily between Secunderabad and Thiruvananthapuram, stopping at Kollam, offering full amenities and better punctuality

🧭 Looking Ahead to Late‑2025 Pilgrim Season

  • South Central Railway typically publishes the full suite of Sabarimala special trains between September and October each year.
  • If you’re planning to travel from Sirpur Kagaznagar or Telangana to Kollam, it’s best to monitor IRCTC or SCR announcements for new or reinstated special trains.
