About Uddayan Express (723)
Jayantika Express (Train No. 723) is a popular intercity train on the Dhaka–Sylhet corridor, named after the Jayantia Hills — the highland region of northeastern Bangladesh and Meghalaya in India, historically associated with the Jaintia Kingdom. The train provides a third option on the Dhaka–Sylhet route alongside Parabat Express and Kalni Express, serving Shovan Chair and Shovan classes. It is particularly popular for its schedule timing, which often suits passengers who need to arrive in Sylhet in the afternoon, allowing them to settle in and visit the Shah Jalal Dargah or Lalakhal on the same day of arrival.

Train History (ইতিহাস)
Jayantika Express takes its name from the ancient Jaintia Hill Kingdom, whose territory covered the Sylhet–Meghalaya highland region from the medieval period until British annexation in 1835. By naming this train Jayantika, Bangladesh Railway connected its modern intercity network to the deep historical roots of northeastern Bengal, honoring the region's pre-Mughal and pre-colonial heritage. The train provides a vital third daily service on one of Bangladesh's most culturally significant railway corridors.
