Agra to Sawai Madhopur by Train

The railway links Sawai Madhopur with Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur.[1] On the way from Agra the line passes Bharatpur, on the Delhi-Mumbai broad gauge line, which is well connected to both Agra and Sawai Madhopur.[2]

Agra has several stations, including Agra Cantt, Agra Fort and nearby Tundla Junction. Check which one your ticket names before you leave your hotel, and allow extra time if it is Tundla.

Agra to Sawai Madhopur by Private Transfer

A private car takes you from your Agra hotel straight to a lodge in Sawai Madhopur or on the edge of the park, so you skip the rickshaw ride from the station. Hatchbacks and sedans suit couples, and SUVs or vans suit families with safari gear.

Tips for Traveling from Agra to Sawai Madhopur

  • Plan around the safari: Safaris run in the morning and the afternoon, in jeeps for 6 people or canters for 20, across 10 zones. Book them in advance on the official booking site.[3]
  • Pack water: The ride is dry and dusty, so carry bottled water and snacks.
  • Arrive in daylight if you can: It is easier to find your lodge and to settle in before an early morning safari.
