About Nilsagar Express (766)
Silk City Express (Train No. 766) is the Rajshahi–Dhaka return service, departing the silk capital in the morning and arriving in Dhaka by afternoon. It mirrors the outbound service (765), offering Snigdha, AC Berth, and Shovan Chair classes. Rajshahi passengers — including university staff, government employees, silk traders, and tourists returning from heritage site visits — rely on Train 766 as the most direct and comfortable return connection to Dhaka. The morning departure allows passengers to spend an evening and night in Rajshahi before heading back, making it particularly popular for weekend travellers who visit the city for its university, museum, or riverbank.
