  • Special fare services (01417 / 01418) offer reserved coaches (AC, Sleeper) — suitable if comfort or booked seating is preferred.
  • All trains traverse ~1,748–1,760 km with ~15–17 commercial halts.
  • Note on delays: Special trains historically have low priority; Reddit user accounts report multiple-hour to even multi-day delays on similar seasonal trains.

✅ Planning Recommendations

  • Confirm your desired departure date and whether you need a reserved coach or are okay unreserved.
  • Book on IRCTC (01417/01418) early for AC/Sleeper seating when available.
  • Check live running status on travel day (via NTES or IRCTC mobile app), especially since special trains can be rescheduled.
  • Carry food and essentials—even though pantry services may exist, their reliability varies.
