Getting to Raipur

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

Delhi → Raipur

flight · 2h

₹5,000

1 way / person

Mumbai → Raipur

train · 15h

₹700

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Mumbai → Raipur by train. Return for two works out to about ₹2,800 — so a whole trip lands near ₹7,112 for two, travel included.

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