Train from Delhi to Jodhpur

Hey everybody,

I guess I'm getting impatient with getting to india (10 days left), and I'm having problems finding the schedule for trains. I'm trying to figure out how much time I lose between my various destinations.

I'm basically thinking of doing

Delhi > Jodhpur > Udaipur > Agra > Varanasi > Darjeeling/Sikkim within 25 days.

There is a train from Delhi to Jodhpur right? How long does it take approx? Sigh.. I've been googling and haven't lucked out much on it.

Hope somebody can answer me

Thanks,

Vadim

Why google when you can go straight to the source?

Train No. Train Name Origin Dep.Time Destination Arr.Time CC SL 2S
2461 MANDOR EXPRESS DELHI 20:50 JODHPUR JN 08:00
4059 DEE JSM EXPRESS DELHI S ROHILLA 18:00 JODHPUR JN 06:00

Its better to do:

1. Delhi-Udaipur by a direct train, Chetak Express
2. Udaipur-Jodhpur with a change of trains at Marwar
3. Jodhpur-Agra by a direct train, Marudhar Express

Then to Varanasi, Darjeeling, etc.

Thanks for the quick replies you 2!!! Much appreciated. Can t wait to get going on this trip!!!

SHIMLA's information is always reliable, but whilst he's been enjoying his last visit to India there has been a big change to trains in the Udaipur region.

Trains to Udaipur (WARNING)

The only trains from Udaipur at the moment (until May) are going south to Ahmedabad.

Whatever direction you travel, you will have to take a bus (or a plane) between Jodhpur and Udaipur.

You can get trains between Delhi & Chittaurgarh, and Chittaurgarh & Agra, all timings on the 'WARNING' thread.

The direction you travel could depend on what class of accommodation you prefer on the trains, the train from Chittaurgarh to Agra (16.5 hours) only has Sleeper class (cheap, no air con. Rs 143).

The overnight train from Jodhpur to Agra (train 2308) has 2 tier as well as 3 tier air con + sleeper class (departs 17:15, arrives 05:35)

2A = Rs 1172
3A = Rs 763
SL = Rs 291


Agra to Varanasi.

Train 4864 departs Agra Fort (Tue, Wed, Fri & Sat.) at 21:15 and gets to Varanasi at 08:20

2A = Rs 1073
3A = Rs 690
SL = Rs 256

Train 4854 departs Agra Fort (Mon, Thu & Sun.) at 21:15 and gets to Varanasi at 09:30

2A = Rs 1119
3A = Rs 719
SL = Rs 266



Mughal Sarai (12 kms from Varanasi) to New Jalpaiguri (for Darjeeling/Sikkim)

Train 5622 departs Mughal Sarai daily at 18:35 and gets to New Jalpaiguri at 09:35.

2A = Rs 1223
3A = Rs 784
SL = Rs 289

Thanks Steven, for the correction.

However, you are wrong on one count!! I DID NOT enjoy my last visit to India !! On the contrary, I had a torrid time, both on the work and personal fronts!!
