Hi!

Only mumbai has direct flight to bhopal. There is a early morning Indian Airlines flight from mumbai for Bhopal.
For return there are two flights from Bhopal to Mumbai. (Indian Airlines and Jet ) Both are in the evening.
So you can take the morning flight from mumbai and return in the evening by any IA or JET.

baroudi is i hope Baroda...?????

If its Baroda/Vadodara then its no point coming by road since some sections of the roads are in pretty bad shape. There is only one direct train from baroda to Bhopal (Rajkot Express).
The train reaches in the morning at bhopal.
There is a evening flight (JET) from Bhopal to Delhi which operates 6 days in a week.

hope it helps

I mentioned mumbai only because your itineary did not mention delhi.
There are flights from delhi to bhopal. But i am not sure of the timings. But flight certainly is there from delhi.
In fact delhi and Mumbai are the only two places with which bhopal is connected by flight.

From your other thread....

Quote:
we will land in mumbai 10/23 at 11pm
we will stay there till 10/25 pm
that night we will go to vadadora till the early am of 10/27
we will go to bhopal for the day and leave there that night to go to agra and jaipur till the 10/30
then go back to mumbai till 11/2 1am when we fly back to the states
we want to take a rail between any two cities otherwise we'll fly
Train 2979 departs Vadodara on the 27th at 22:38 and gets to Jaipur at 10:50 (2A, 3A, SL.)

(don't think of an overnight train as a long, time consuming journey, most of the time spent on the train would have been taken up by you sleeping in a hotel, if you went to bed at 22:30, got up in the early in the morning and went to the airport, then a flight, then getting from the airport at the other end, you lose more time than if you got an overnight train, and most people get a good night's sleep on a train, I did on the above train)

See Jaipur, then go to Agra, then on 30th or 31st.....

Train 2002 departs Agra Cant at 08:17 and gets to Bhopal at 14:05 (EC, CC)

(this train is the Shatabdi Express, one of India's premier train, and one of the fastest)

Then on the same day....

India Airlines fly Bhopal (19:40) to Mumbai (21:55)
