Getting to Delhi

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

Mumbai → Delhi

flight · 2h

₹4,500

1 way / person

Mumbai → New Delhi

train · 16h

₹1,000

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Mumbai → New Delhi by train. Return for two works out to about ₹4,000 — so a whole trip lands near ₹14,478 for two, travel included.

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