Plan my Bhopal trip

Getting to Bhopal

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Delhi → Bhopal

train · 8h

₹800

1 way / person

Mumbai → Bhopal

flight · 1.5h

₹4,500

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Delhi → Bhopal by train. Return for two works out to about ₹3,200 — so a whole trip lands near ₹14,516 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Bhopal's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
