✅ Tips & Travel Advice
- Train 06230 is worth considering if running at your travel time, particularly during festival seasons—it offers a special fare but with limited frequency and possibly fewer amenities.
- For more consistent service, the 22687/22688 Mysuru–Varanasi Express is the dependable option with regular scheduling, onboard catering, and broader ticket availability.
- Special trains like 06230 (and Mysuru–Darbhanga specials via Varanasi) frequently run only during festival or summer travel peaks and may cause delays due to lower prioritization.
- Booking: Use 40‑day advance IRCTC reservation windows; special trains have quotas like Tatkal and general only. Check IRCTC or station announcements ~4–6 weeks before major festive periods.
