Hare Krishna,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
With just a week left for the much-awaited Kartik Yatra, it is now time to prepare!
 
1. Kindly download the Yatra Guidelines Booklet(hyperlink to the pdf) and read it carefully. This booklet contains details about the Yatra schedule, groups, accommodation, bus travel, Yatra wristbands, Prasadam, things to carry, do's and don'ts and other important information. A Hindi version of this document will also be made available in a few days.
2. All Yatra participants need to come with a print/ downloaded pdf softcopy of their Yatra Registration Confirmation Slip (RCS) and a hardcopy (print) of the Accommodation Confirmation Slip (ACS).
RCS and ACS are now available for download at www.rgmdatabase.com.
To do so, login and goto Yatra > Registrations to see the "Print RCS" and "Print ACS" buttons for every registered profile visible to you. In case of any difficulty in obtaining your RCS/ACS, please take help of your database coordinator / regional facilitator, who had helped you with the Yatra registration and accommodation booking.
Please note that it is mandatory for all registered devotees to produce this RCS at the Yatra check-in counter at Puri and get their Yatra Wristband, without which Yatra participation will be denied. Similarly, the ACS is mandatory for check-in at your accommodation.
 
Wishing you a happy Kartik Yatra 2023 at Sri Jagannath Puri Dham.
Thanking you,
Your servants,
Kartik Yatra 2023 Registration Team.

We hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits as we prepare for our upcoming yatra. We are excited to embark on this spiritual journey with all of you and want to ensure a smooth and convenient experience from the moment you arrive in Bhubaneswar.

To assist you with your travel arrangements, we are pleased to provide information regarding our pick-up facility options and associated costs. Please review the enclosed information for the rates and contact numbers of our agents.

Please note the following important information:
1. Pick-up facility is exclusively available for booking entire vehicles or buses, and seat reservations are not an option. Therefore, you have the option to reserve a bus for your group.
While we want to emphasize that our selected agent is highly reliable, we must also clarify that the Yatra Committee holds no responsibility for any payment or delay-related issues. This message has been communicated to our bus agent as well. In a previous Yatra, there was an incident where some devotees occupied seats on a bus that had been reserved for an entire group. In such cases, it is the responsibility of the devotee who booked the bus or vehicle to handle any related issues.

2. Additionally, it's worth noting that parallel transport options are available in Bhubaneswar. Devotees can opt for state transport buses or utilize taxi services, including private services such as Ola and Uber. These alternatives offer flexibility for those who may prefer different transportation arrangements.

3. For inquiries related to the Booking Deadline, Payment, Meeting Point, Cancellation Policy, and any additional information, you need to reach out directly to the bus agent.

4. The Agent does not provide pick-up services from any station other than Bhubaneswar Railway Station or Bhubaneswar Airport.

5. As for the drop facility after the yatra, the Karthik Yatra Committee will furnish separate details about the available options during the Karthik Yatra period.

6. We understand that each devotee's needs and preferences may vary, and we want to ensure that your journey begins with comfort and convenience. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to Bus agent.

    About Kartik Yatra

    Every year during the auspicious month of Kartik, His Holiness Radhanath Swami Maharaj takes devotees from all over the world on a Yatra(A Spiritual Journey) to various holy places in India.

    Over the years, devotees have visited Vrindavan, Govardhan, Ayodhya, Jaipur, Sri Rangam, Tirupati, Mayapur, Dwarka, Udupi, Rameshwaram and many other places.The number of devotees participating in these yatras have increased manifold i.e from an humble twenty in 1986 to a magnificent 10000 in 2023.

    Kartik Yatras give devotees an opportunity to perform the devotional activity of shravanam (hearing) of hari-katha. Shravanam done in the association of devotees, in a holy dhama, is said to award one immense devotional merits.

    With thousands of devotees participating, these yatras give devotees a wonderful opportunity to hear hari-katha and chant the holy names with complete absorption in an environment free from one’s regular household and professional anxieties.

    This year, the Yatra is conducted at the Jagannath Puri Dham – The Land of Daru Brahma.

    The date of yatra: 16th Nov – 21st Nov.
    Accommodation Dates – 15th Aug to 25th Aug
    Yatra Registration Charges: ₹ 4350/- (+ ₹500 late fee)
    Accommodation charges will be based on your choice and selection.
