Ranthambhore to Jaipur

watl1

We will be leaving Ranthambhore at midday and need to travel to Jaipur which I understand is about 3-4 hours drive away. We have been quoted 2800+taxes and 2600 for an AC Ambassador, which I have a feeling is too much. Does anyone know what it should roughly cost?

Also, can anyone can recommend any interesting stops on route?

Thanks

Sawai Madhopur is 11kms from the gates of Ranthambhore NP, most of the hotels are along this road.


Train 2955 departs Sawai Madhopur daily at 10:45 and gets to Jaipur at 12:55

2-tier air con = Rs 366
3-tier air con = Rs 276


Train 2465 departs Sawai Madhopur daily at 15:05 and gets to Jaipur at 17:20

Air Con Chair Class = Rs 224

Think of the hotel upgrade you could have with the money saved, I'm sure a taxi could be better used elsewhere.

You should be able to make the first train, we were back from the morning safaris before 9 (if I remember right), please check with your hotel, and the drive to Sawai Madhopur station is simple and quick.

If you have a full day, do the morning safari, then have breakfast, freshen up, and go into the town of Sawai Madhopur for a walk around, it's an interesting place and I had no hassle at all in the town, you might want to buy a jumper from the town, those safari's are bloody chilly, especially the morning safaris.

Great - thanks Stephen. Yes, that's a better idea to catch a train as we've already gone over our budget for this trip.

Note to self about jumper!

watl1, was it you who asked about a train from Ranthambhore to Jodhpur?

I noticed a post, but I was on holiday and didn't have time to reply, when I got back, I couldn't find the post.

Train 2465 then gets to Jodhpur at 23:00. (but I think it has a chance of arriving at Jodhpur a little late)
