          \u2705 Travel Advice<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • No active special train route<\/strong> connects Ernakulam and Guwahati as of mid\u20112025.<\/li>\n
          • Best option: book on Aronai Express (12507)<\/strong> if booking Tuesday departure works.<\/li>\n

          • Always check IRCTC or NTES apps<\/strong> to verify if any special train is announced near your travel date, especially during festival seasons.<\/li>\n
