Circular Journey Ticket Enquiry

The_Wanderer

I wish to make a journey of about 8000 kms. I know that Circular Journey ticket (CJT) saves money, so I wish to use this facility.
But there are certain misunderstandings, which I would like the knowledgeable members to clear.

1) There is a maximum limit of 8 break journeys during a journey. Is there any minimum limit?

2) I wish to visit places in day time and travel in Nights, thereby making my stays at one place less than 24 hours, which is not counted as break journey. Is this allowed?

My Itinerary is as under, Will I be able to book a CJT or not.

I don't think so, it would be prohibative if there were.

Yes.

It would be fine, though you'd need to do the Chennai-Trivandrum leg via Madurai (train 6123), as the Trivandrum-Bangalore section would go via Ernakulam, but the train times (Chennai Egmore 19.05, Trivandrum 11:05) are similar, so it shouldn't be a problem, and you are allowed to arrive at one station in a city and depart from another.

You've got 2 monster journeys in there, Varanasi to Vijayawada and Bangalore to Vadodera, long journeys.

Thanks Steven.
Yes, I know those two journey's are very long. I made the schedule so that the long journey's fall on Sundays and I don't waste any working day.
Thanks again.
