Indian Railway Minister, Mr. Suresh Prabhu, launched Tiger Express on June 05, 2016 which is also World Environment Day.
Tiger Express has been launched to attract tourists to Madhya Pradesh’s Kanha National Park and Bandhavgarh National Park, and as these parks are famous for tigers, the train has been called Tiger Express.
It’ll be a 5 days-6-nights travel package that includes three Tiger Safaris and a trip to Dhuadhar Waterfall in Bedhaghat near Jabalpur.
The AC-first class package will set you back by
Rs. 49,500 for single occupancy,
Rs 45,500 for double,
Rs 44,900 for triple and
Rs 39,500 for a child and an extra bed.
AC 2-tier isn’t quite cheap either with prices starting from Rs 33,500 and going all the way up to Rs 43,500.
This is the first semi-luxury train on a tourist circuit to have a dining car. The train also has a designated shower cubicle for its passengers.
The package includes:
Journey in this stunning train,
accommodation in air-conditioned rooms of three-star hotels for 3 nights – one in Bhandavgarh and two in Kahna,
sightseeing,
travel by road in AC cars,
buffet meals,
safaris,
travelling within the city and
insurance.
Isn’t this an amazing deal? The train is all set to start operating from October 2016, so go on and start booking your seats- this train journey is something, you cannot miss.
