Spiritual journey plus Taj Mahal is a brilliant combo 🕊️ It's great to see IRCTC promoting our heritage and Buddhist circuit abroad. But local tourists also deserve such luxury at lower prices—maybe a seasonal discount for Indians?

As a foreigner, this sounds perfect. The mix of Buddha's life sites and the Taj Mahal is unique. 20% off is good, but I've seen similar tours in Southeast Asia for less. Still, India's railway luxury is hard to beat.

We visited Bodh Gaya last year and it was life-changing. This train can transform domestic tourism. But I'm cautious—IRCTC's previous luxury trains had mixed reviews about food quality. Hope they deliver on that international cuisine promise! 🚂✨

Love the idea but wondering why the discount is only 20%? With inflation, even that price is a lot for a family. Also, does it include entry fees to the Buddhist sites? The itinerary looks solid though—kudos for including Lumbini 🇮🇳

This would be a fantastic way to see India's Buddhist heritage. I've always wanted to visit Sarnath where Buddha gave his first sermon. The AC coaches sound comfortable, but I hope the train has good WiFi for digital nomads like me! 😊
