Getting to Bikaner

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

Delhi → Bikaner

train · 8h

₹500

1 way / person

Jaipur → Bikaner

train · 5h

₹300

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Jaipur → Bikaner by train. Return for two works out to about ₹1,200 — so a whole trip lands near ₹4,910 for two, travel included.

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