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.
