Getting to Patna

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

Delhi → Patna

flight · 1.5h

₹4,500

1 way / person

Delhi → Patna

train · 12h

₹600

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Delhi → Patna by train. Return for two works out to about ₹2,400 — so a whole trip lands near ₹5,450 for two, travel included.

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