₹700

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Indore → Ujjain by train. Return for two works out to about ₹400 — so a whole trip lands near ₹4,137 for two, travel included.

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