Dhaka to Mohanganj Train: Ticket Price, Schedule, Stoppage and Ticket Booking
Two intercity trains run from Dhaka (Kamalapur) to Mohanganj in Netrokona district: Mohonganj Express in the afternoon and Haor Express overnight. Both pass through Gazipur, Mymensingh and Netrokona, and the trip takes about 5 hours 25 minutes to 5 hours 55 minutes. This page gives you the full Dhaka to Mohanganj train schedule, the stoppage list, the off days, the return trains and a step-by-step guide to booking online with bKash.
Short answer: Mohonganj Express (789) leaves Dhaka at 1:15 PM and reaches Mohanganj at 6:40 PM. Haor Express (777) leaves Dhaka at 10:15 PM and reaches Mohanganj at 4:10 AM. Both are off on Wednesday. For the exact fare in your seat class, check the e-ticket site, which shows the price before you pay.
Dhaka to Mohanganj Train Schedule
| Train No. | Train | Departs Dhaka | Arrives Mohanganj | Journey time | Off day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 789 | Mohonganj Express | 1:15 PM | 6:40 PM | 5 hours 25 minutes | Wednesday |
| 777 | Haor Express | 10:15 PM | 4:10 AM (next day) | 5 hours 55 minutes | Wednesday |
Mohonganj Express is a daytime train, so you see the countryside and arrive in the early evening. Haor Express is the overnight option and arrives before sunrise, so plan your pickup in advance.
Mohanganj to Dhaka Return Trains
| Train No. | Train | Departs Mohanganj | Arrives Dhaka | Journey time | Off day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 778 | Haor Express | 8:00 AM | 1:55 PM | 5 hours 55 minutes | Saturday |
| 790 | Mohonganj Express | 11:00 PM | 4:55 AM (next day) | 5 hours 55 minutes | Wednesday |
Because the return trains leave Mohanganj in the morning and late at night, a same-day round trip from Dhaka is not practical. Plan an overnight stay.
Stoppage List
Both trains follow the same route:
Dhaka (Kamalapur), Biman Bandar (Dhaka Airport), Joydebpur (Gazipur), Gafargaon, Mymensingh, Gouripur, Netrokona and Mohanganj.
The line crosses Gazipur, Mymensingh and Netrokona districts and ends in the haor region of the northeast. Key timed stops are:
| Train | Dhaka | Netrokona | Mohanganj |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mohonganj Express (789) | 1:15 PM | About 5:35 PM | 6:40 PM |
| Haor Express (777) | 10:15 PM | About 2:40 AM | About 4:10 AM |
| Haor Express (778) | 1:55 PM (arrival) | About 8:50 AM | 8:00 AM (departure) |
| Mohonganj Express (790) | 4:55 AM (arrival) | About 11:50 PM | 11:00 PM (departure) |
Times at the smaller stations move by a few minutes, so check the portal for the station where you board or get off. Many passengers use these trains for Gafargaon, Mymensingh and Netrokona, not only for Mohanganj.
Off Days
| Train | Dhaka to Mohanganj | Mohanganj to Dhaka |
|---|---|---|
| Mohonganj Express | Wednesday (789) | Wednesday (790) |
| Haor Express | Wednesday (777) | Saturday (778) |
On a train’s off day it does not run, so it will not appear in the e-ticket search for that date. Bangladesh Railway can adjust off days, so confirm the day when you search for your date.
Ticket Price and Seat Classes
Fares on Bangladesh Railway are calculated by distance and by seat class. A Shovon seat costs the least, Shovon Chair costs a little more, and Snigdha and AC Seat cost the most. A ticket to Mymensingh or Netrokona costs less than the full fare to Mohanganj. Mohonganj Express sells Shovon, Shovon Chair, Snigdha and AC Seat tickets, and the classes on Haor Express are shown on the portal when you search for your date. Online tickets carry a small service charge, and VAT is included in the price you see.
Bangladesh Railway revises fares from time to time, so check the exact price for your class and date on the e-ticket site. The fare shows before you pay, so you can compare classes with no commitment.
Other Trains on the Route
Mohua Commuter (43 and 44) also runs between Dhaka and Mohanganj. It is a slower daily service that stops at many more stations, and it is the cheapest way to travel. Check the portal for its current departure time. If you only need to reach Mymensingh, Gafargaon or Joydebpur, you have many more trains, as the Minciter Dhaka to Mymensingh page shows.
