Train summary

Why Sabarmati Jn and not Ahmedabad Jn? Since 17 August 2026 this Vande Bharat Express starts and ends at Sabarmati Jn (SBT), on the Jail side of the Sabarmati area, instead of Ahmedabad Jn (Kalupur). The same change added a halt at Ambli Road, the first stop, aimed at passengers from S.G. Highway, Bodakdev, Prahladnagar, Bopal and Shela. Source: DeshGujarat On IRCTC, search from SBT, not ADI. Ahmedabad has another station called Sabarmati with the code SBIB, used by the Jodhpur and Veraval Vande Bharat trains. The Gujarat Vande Bharat hub lists which Ahmedabad station each train uses.

Which station for Dwarka? Get off at Dwarka (DWK), 38 minutes before Okha. The Devbhumi Dwarka district administration gives the station’s distance from the Dwarkadhish temple as about 2 km. Source: Devbhumi Dwarka district Stay on to Okha (OKHA), the end of the line, if you are heading for Beyt Dwarka (Bet Dwarka).

What kind of train this is

The Ahmedabad to Okha Vande Bharat Express is a daytime Chair Car train with no berths: CC has 3+2 reclining seats and EC has wider 2+2 seats. See CC vs EC and the seat guide for layouts and window seats.

It began as the Jamnagar–Ahmedabad Vande Bharat, one of nine Vande Bharat trains the Prime Minister flagged off by video link on 24 September 2023. Source: PIB Source: DeshGujarat It was later extended beyond Jamnagar to Dwarka and Okha, and in 2026 the Railway Board approved the current pattern: a morning departure from Sabarmati Jn, an afternoon return from Okha, and the same weekly off day, Tuesday, in both directions. Before that change, the return train had a different off day. Source: DeshGujarat

Rajkot Vande Bharat

In our data Rajkot Jn has one Vande Bharat pair, and it is this one. Towards Ahmedabad, 22926 leaves Rajkot at 19:49 and reaches Sabarmati Jn at 23:10, 3 h 21 min for 241 km. Towards Saurashtra, 22925 reaches Rajkot at 09:31 and goes on to Jamnagar, Dwarka and Okha. A Rajkot passenger can reach Dwarka at 12:42 (3 h 6 min) and come back on 22926 from Dwarka at 17:12, reaching Rajkot at 19:44. There is no morning Vande Bharat from Rajkot to Ahmedabad in our data; the only Rajkot–Ahmedabad departure is the evening one.

Jamnagar Vande Bharat

Jamnagar is 85 km beyond Rajkot. 22925 reaches Jamnagar at 10:43 and Dwarka at 12:42, so the Jamnagar–Dwarka run takes 1 h 54 min. Back, 22926 leaves Dwarka at 17:12 and reaches Jamnagar at 18:36, and leaves Jamnagar at 18:41 for Sabarmati Jn (23:10), 4 h 29 min. Like Rajkot, Jamnagar has only an evening Vande Bharat towards Ahmedabad.

Vande Bharat train for Dwarka: same-day return

Not on Tuesday. The Dwarka trip leaves 4 h 30 min between arrival and the return train, and you are back at Sabarmati Jn at 23:10, so arrange how you will get home from there late at night.

Temple timing. Gujarat Tourism lists the Dwarkadhish temple’s visiting hours as 7:00 to 12:30 and 17:00 to 21:00. Source: Gujarat Tourism On those hours the temple closes about 12 minutes before 22925 reaches Dwarka at 12:42 and opens at 17:00, only 12 minutes before 22926 leaves at 17:12. On the published hours, a same-day trip on this pair may not give you darshan at all. Timings change on festival days, so confirm with the temple before you rely on a day trip; otherwise plan an overnight stay and return the next day. The district administration notes that pilgrims enter through the Swarga Dwar and leave through the Moksha Dwar, and that a flight of 56 steps leads up to the back of the temple from the Gomti side.

Beyt Dwarka from Okha. Okha mainland is linked to Beyt Dwarka island by Sudarshan Setu, a cable-stayed road bridge of about 2.32 km opened by the Prime Minister on 25 February 2024. Source: PMIndia The train reaches Okha at 13:20 and leaves at 16:45, a gap of 3 h 25 min. More Vande Bharat trains for temple towns are in the pilgrimage trains guide.

There is no same-day return from the Okha or Dwarka end, because 22926 reaches Ahmedabad at 23:10 and the next 22925 leaves at 06:15 the following morning. Plan other combinations with the same-day return planner.

Ahmedabad to Okha Vande Bharat ticket price

Fares are for one adult, General quota, with the meal, checked 12 November 2026. They are IRCTC fares as recorded by erail.in, and we kept a figure only where it agreed with erail’s own calculation from the official fare rules, so confirm on IRCTC before you pay.

We could not confirm fares for shorter trips, such as Ahmedabad to Rajkot, Ahmedabad to Jamnagar or Ahmedabad to Dwarka. Check your exact station pair on IRCTC. They cost less than the full Sabarmati–Okha fare, because the base fare is set by distance.

The morning train costs ₹60 more in CC and ₹50 more in EC than the evening return over the same 494 km. The base fare depends only on distance and class, so the gap most likely comes from the catering charge, which IRCTC shows in the fare breakdown when you book. Choosing No Food lowers the price by the meal charge. See the food guide for what is served.

The fare is built from a base fare (1.4 times Shatabdi in CC and 1.3 times in EC), reservation and superfast charges, GST and the optional meal. Source: PIB There is no dynamic fare, so the price does not rise as seats fill up. Source: PIB, February 2026 See how Vande Bharat ticket prices work or estimate a station pair with the fare calculator.

CC or EC? On 22925, EC costs ₹1,110 more than CC with the meal. For a 7-hour trip CC is the usual choice; look at EC when CC is waitlisted.

Booking the Ahmedabad Okha Vande Bharat Express

Booking for 22925 and 22926 opens on IRCTC 60 days before the journey, at 08:00 IST, not counting the journey day. For a journey on Monday 11 January 2027, booking opens on Thursday 12 November 2026 at 08:00. Do not pick a Tuesday: the train does not run, and IRCTC will not show it. The booking date calculator gives the date for your trip.

Use the station code SBT for Ahmedabad. If you search from ADI (Ahmedabad Jn), this train will not appear. If CC is full, try EC before taking a waiting-list ticket. A ticket still waitlisted when the chart is made is cancelled and refunded automatically, less ₹60 clerkage plus GST (₹63) per passenger.

Tatkal opens at 10:00 IST the day before the train leaves its first station: the day before at Sabarmati Jn for 22925, and the day before at Okha for 22926. A confirmed Tatkal ticket gets no refund if you cancel. See the Tatkal guide.

The booking guide covers IRCTC step by step, including quotas, waiting lists and choosing a seat.

Refund if you cancel an Ahmedabad Okha Vande Bharat ticket

Refund bands are counted from the train’s scheduled departure at its first station, so a passenger boarding 22925 at Rajkot still works from the 06:15 departure from Sabarmati Jn. For a confirmed ticket, per passenger, with 5% GST on the charge, using the 72, 24 and 8-hour bands the Ministry of Railways announced in March 2026:

• 22925 in CC (₹1,445): cancel more than 72 hours before and you get back about ₹1,256; 72 to 24 hours before, about ₹1,066; 24 to 8 hours before, about ₹686; less than 8 hours before, nothing.
• 22925 in EC (₹2,555): more than 72 hours before, about ₹2,303; 72 to 24 hours, about ₹1,884; 24 to 8 hours, about ₹1,214; less than 8 hours, nothing.
• 22926 in CC (₹1,385): more than 72 hours before, about ₹1,196; 72 to 24 hours, about ₹1,021; 24 to 8 hours, about ₹658; less than 8 hours, nothing.
• 22926 in EC (₹2,505): more than 72 hours before, about ₹2,253; 72 to 24 hours, about ₹1,847; 24 to 8 hours, about ₹1,190; less than 8 hours, nothing.

IRCTC’s published refund rules still show the older 48, 12 and 4-hour cut-offs, so the IRCTC cancellation screen is final. The Vande Bharat cancellation charges guide explains both sets of bands, and the refund calculator and cancellation deadline tool give your own figure and clock times.

When is the chart prepared for the Ahmedabad Okha Vande Bharat?

• 22925 leaves Sabarmati Jn at 06:15, so its first chart is prepared by 20:00 the evening before.
• 22926 leaves Okha at 16:45, so its first chart is prepared by 06:45 on the day of travel (10 hours before departure).

On a Dwarka day trip you know your outward seat the night before, and the return chart is out by 06:45, while 22925 is running between Sanand and Viramgam. The chart preparation time tool works it out for any date.
