Howrah to Puri Trains

This is one of the best trains to travel as it leaves Kolkata late at night (so less traffic on your way to railway station) and reaches Puri @7 am (ideal for check-in as most hotels allow check in @ 8 AM). As its morning Autos also charge nominally.

It was all good. The train was on time and Journey was comfortable.
One can sleep for the night and reach Puri all fresh and ready for the pilgrimage.
The AC is almost necessary for those who can not bear a little sweat. Otherwise night journeys are cooler all the year round except maybe May June.

Facilities in Indian Railways have to improve a lot still. A/c coaches are maintained and leave alone sleeper class ones. No pantry car. Hwh Digha Express train which takes 3. 30 hrs has a pantry but Puri Exp not. Hwh Goa Exp has no pantry car though it takes 36 hrs. No logic behind.

Travellers should pick Jagganath Puri Express from Howrah because it is a night train and you will reach Puri in the morning. No need to carry any food. I travelled in 3 tier A/C. The seats were comfortable. As it is a night train so no great views. All you have to do is board the train and go to sleep and when you get up you reach Puri. The toilets were clean and the bedding provided were also clean. Those who wish to go to Puri can surely opt for this train.

We boarded at Howrah Junction and headed straight towards Puri Junction. The journey was at first interesting but after the train started delaying we were completely bored. The journey was at last become boring. After about 12 hours we reached Puri Junction. We had an auto to our hotel and rested there.
