Getting to Patiala

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

Chandigarh → Patiala

cab · 1.5h

₹2,000

1 way / person

Delhi → Patiala

train · 5h

₹500

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Delhi → Patiala by train. Return for two works out to about ₹2,000 — so a whole trip lands near ₹5,770 for two, travel included.

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