Is it required to book train tickets in advance (talking about long
journey - Delhi-Jodhpur and Delhi-Gorakhpur)? If so, any advice (agency...)

Playing around a bit with www.erail.in, it looks like Delhi-Jodhpur is
currently more or less booked out for the next three or four days,
Delhi-Gorakhpur for the next 10-15 days. So yes, it is probably a good
idea to book a few weeks in advance.

It used to be possible to book via internet (www.irctc.co.in), but this
site now expects an Indian mobile phone number for registration. :-(

I can't recommend any agency, since I booked my tickets directly at this
site before the mobile phone requirement was introduced.

It is always necessary to book tickets for any long distance journey
on the railway in India.

Tickets can be booked on-line.
