Common questions
How long does the Delhi to Jaipur trip take?
Moving time is about 5.6h spread over 2 legs. Allowing 2 nights in each of the 3 stops, the whole corridor works as a 7-day trip. You can compress it by skipping stops, but the travelling time itself does not shrink much.
How much does it cost?
About €241 per person for 7 days in dorms, sharing with one other. That splits into roughly €7 of transport, €50 of beds and €135 of daily spending. The realistic range is €204 to €312 depending on how early you book and how much you eat out.
Can you do it without flying?
Yes. An all-surface version runs about 5.6h of travel and €241 in total — €-0 less than the version above. Switch on avoid flying in the planner to see it.
Which countries does it cross?
India — 1 in total. Check visa requirements for your own passport before you commit to the route; this planner does not model them.
What transport does it use?
Rail. Every leg is costed with a walk-up fare and an advance fare, so the range on each row is the booking-window spread, not uncertainty about the route.
Adjust it for your own dates, budget and party size.
