Summer vacations looming and nowhere to go? Let IRCTC holiday packages serve as a guide
Trains for Bharat Darshan were launched to facilitate tourists to visit religious and historical places in the country at affordable price. In the beginning, these trains were termed as "Village on Wheels". The first Village on Wheels train started operating on November 29, 2004 from Patna after it was announced in the Rail Budget Speech. IRCTC has been running several Bharat Darshan trains since then on pan India basis at a price Rs 900/- plus taxes per passenger per day.
