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 ₹15,027 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.
