Agra to Ranthambore by Train
The nearest railhead is Sawai Madhopur, 14 km from the park.[1] Bharatpur, on the Delhi-Mumbai broad gauge line, is well connected to both Agra and Sawai Madhopur.[2] From the station, take a rickshaw or taxi to the hotels near the park.
Agra has several stations, including Agra Cantt, Agra Fort and Tundla Junction. Check the station named on your ticket.
Agra to Ranthambore by Private Transfer
A car leaves when you want and takes you directly to your lodge, so you skip the transfer from the station. Hatchbacks and sedans suit couples, and SUVs or vans suit families and groups with luggage. A driver can also stop at a roadside dhaba for a cup of masala chai on the way.
