How much do tickets on Vande Bharat Sleeper cost
India
Indian Railways just dropped the fare details and booking rules for its new Vande Bharat Sleeper Express, now running overnight between Howrah and Kamakhya.
Fares start at ₹960 for AC 3-Tier, ₹1,240 for AC 2-Tier, and ₹1,520 for AC First Class (for a minimum of 400km).
For longer trips like 1,000km, prices go up to ₹2,400 to ₹3,800 depending on your class.
Fully confirmed seats only
No more waiting lists or RAC drama: Vande Bharat Sleeper only sells fully confirmed tickets from day one.
It's a bit pricier than Rajdhani Express but works more like an airline: you book your seat and that's it: no surprises or last-minute sharing hassles.
