The Sabarimala pilgrimage season falls on the winter months of November, December and January every year when hundreds of thousands of devotees of Sree Ayyappa undertake their annual pilgrimage to the Sree Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala in Pathanamthitta district in Kerala. As they do every year, various zones of the Indian Railways have announced special trains during the Sabarimala pilgrimage season of 2023-24 to facilitate pilgrims travelling to the shrine. As always, South Central Railway runs the majority of Sabarimala specials from various stations in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, followed by Southern Railway and South Western Railway
The majority of Sabarimala pilgrims hail from the southern states. There is no direct rail connectivity to the shrine so pilgrims have to alight at either Ernakulam, Kottayam or Chengannur (in order of ease of access and preference) and then travel to the shrine by road. The majority of Sabari specials run from Hyderabad or various stations in Andhra Pradesh and Telengana, and from Chennai and also from Belgaum and Hubli in Karnataka.
Given below are the details of Sabarimala special trains for the year 2023-24.
Note on fares: All Sabari special trains charge 1.3x (30% extra) fare compared to the normal rates.
These trains are in addition the legendary Sabari Express the only regular train between Kerala and Hyderabad which will of course be sold out throughout the year.
17230 Sabari Express departs from Secunderabad SC for Trivandrum Central TVC via Nadikudi, Vijayawada, Renigunta, Palakkad, Ernakulam Town and Kottayam on all days of the week.
Sabarimala Special Trains from Chennai
