About Joyantika Express (718)
Kalni Express (Train No. 718) is the Sylhet–Dhaka return service, providing the complementary return leg to the outbound Train 717. Departing Sylhet, it brings passengers back to Dhaka through the haor landscape and Brahmanbaria. The return Kalni Express is especially popular on Sunday evenings or Monday mornings when Sylhet visitors and student returnees head back to Dhaka. As a Shovan Chair and Shovan class service, it provides accessible and affordable return travel options for those who could not book or afford the Parabat Express return (710). The train's name continues to honour the Kalni River's evocative flow through Bangladesh's most unique wetland geography.
