Pass
Indrail Pass
A pass. You buy a number of travel days and then use participating services in India without buying a ticket for each journey.
The issuer's own terms
The detail below is quoted from the issuer's own page in the language they publish it in. We do not translate another company's conditions, because a translated condition is a condition we have changed.
We could not read the issuer's own page for this scheme, so the detail below comes from what could be established elsewhere and should be checked with the issuer before you rely on it.
- What it covers
- Discontinued. The Indrail Pass was a Eurail-style unlimited-travel pass for foreign nationals, sold in periods from half a day to 90 days across three classes, letting holders travel without booking individual point-to-point tickets. It was withdrawn by Railway Board order (letter no. 2016/Tourism/120/1, dated 19 September 2017), which also ended the associated General Sales Agent network; passes already issued remained valid to their original expiry but no new passes have been sold since. No direct replacement pass has been introduced. The closest current option for foreign visitors is the ordinary Foreign Tourist Quota on IRCTC, which lets travellers book individual confirmed tickets up to 365 days ahead using a passport, but this is a booking quota, not a pass.

- What catches people out
- Numerous third-party and travel-agency sites still describe or advertise the Indrail Pass as if it were current; it is not. I could not directly fetch an official indianrailways.gov.in or irctc.co.in page in this session (connections to those domains were refused from this environment), so the discontinuation date and order number above rely on secondary sourcing (Wikipedia and travel-industry summaries citing the Railway Board letter) rather than a directly fetched government page. Travellers should book through irctc.co.in's Foreign Tourist Quota or at an International Tourist Bureau instead of seeking an Indrail Pass.

What this does to an Orlero price
Nothing, yet. Our fares are point to point and are not adjusted for a pass or a card you hold. Use this page to work out whether the scheme is worth buying, and use search to find out what the same journeys cost without it.

Plan a trip from here
A pass only pays for itself against the journeys you actually make. Ask Ori for the trip and it will price the point to point fares our network holds, which is the number a pass has to beat.
