Here’s the latest verified information on IRCTC’s special “Shirdi Jyotirlinga Yatra” package offerings, often bundled with visits to Shirdi, nearby Jyotirlinga temples, and other sacred sites:
📜 IRCTC Shirdi Jyotirlinga / Yatra Packages
1. IRCTC Shirdi Sai Darshan Packages
- IRCTC offers standalone Shirdi tour packages that typically include confirmed train tickets, hotels, meals, sightseeing (like Shani Shingnapur), and guided tours
- These are usually 4‑5 day pilgrimages, available from multiple boarding cities, with fares starting around ₹ 14,145 per person
2. “Shirdi & Jyotirlinga” Bharat Gaurav Train Packages
- IRCTC periodically runs multi-day tourist train circuits that combine Shirdi with Jyotirlinga visits.
- A recent example (Sep 2025): an 8‑linga plus Shirdi package from Katihar, featuring visits to Onkareshwar, Mahakaleshwar, Somnath, Dwarkadhish, Trimbakeshwar, Nageshwar, Grishneshwar, Bhimashankar, plus Shirdi and Kashi Viswanath for ₹21,251 (Economy) to ₹33,251 (Standard)
- Earlier offers featured 7 Jyotirlinga + Shirdi circuits, and shorter 4–7 day pilgrim runs starting from southern departure points
3. Cancellation Terms
- IRCTC typically applies a sliding cancellation fee:
- ₹250 per passenger if canceled 15+ days in advance,
- 25% for 8–14 days,
- 50% for 4–7 days,
- and 100% charge if canceled within 4 days of departure
🔍 What’s Currently Available in 2025?
- No confirmed 2025 Bharat Gaurav train package explicitly titled “Shirdi + 7 Jyotirlinga” has been recently announced on official or news sources.
- IRCTC’s frequent packages include 2‑linga circuits (e.g., Dakshin Darshan from Aug 2025) and the Ashta (8‑linga) Yatra launched from Goa in July 2025
- Regular shorter Shirdi + Trimbakeshwar + Shani Shingnapur packages depart weekly (e.g. from Lucknow/Kanpur) at ~₹14,145 for 4–5 days
🧭 Suggested Options
- Short Package (4–5 days): Shirdi with Trimbakeshwar & Shani Shingnapur, starting ~₹14K, multiple departures weekly
- Extended Bharat Gaurav Circuits: Watch IRCTC’s official site regularly for any new “Shirdi + 7 Jyotirlinga” train tours (similar to Katihar‑series circuits in 2025)
- DIY Travel: Choose standard train services to Shirdi such as the Mumbai CSMT–Sainagar Shirdi Vande Bharat (6 days/week), or Dadar–Shirdi Weekly Superfast, or Secunderabad–Shirdi Express, followed by local visits to Trimbakeshwar or those temple sites
📌 Travel Tips from Fellow Pilgrims
- VIP darshan tickets (~₹200) reduce waiting time; main darshan (mukh darshan) now takes ~20–30 minutes even on weekends
- Weekdays (Mon–Wed) are recommended to avoid crowds and complete darshan faster
- Temple premises restrict phone/mobile devices; secure lockers or counters are available near the entrance
