Useful tips for train travellers
• Onboard services for your train trip from Bikaner to Varanasi typically include catering options which may vary by train class. Most long-distance trains offer catering services through pantry cars, providing meals that can be pre-ordered when booking your ticket.

Second AC has fewer berths, more space, and better amenities, and First AC provides the highest level of comfort with private cabins. Choose based on your budget and comfort preferences. You can check availability on operators’ websites such as Indian Railways (irctc.co.in) and others.

Luggage can be left at the station’s cloakroom, allowing you to explore the city unencumbered. While restrooms are available, showers might not be, so plan accordingly. For the fastest route to city center, take a cycle rickshaw or a taxi from the station.
