Ahmedabad's textile hubs and stepwells lie a long way from Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal. The journey carries you from the dry west of India to the historic plains of Uttar Pradesh, with a cross-section of Indian landscapes on the way.
The distance is long, so your choice of transport decides how much energy you have left for the Red Fort and the gardens of Mehtab Bagh. You can fly, take a train or a bus, or hire a private transfer. Compare options and book on GoAsia.cc.
Ahmedabad to Agra by Flight
The flight saves nearly a day compared with the road or rail options. IndiGo flies direct from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) to Agra Airport (AGR), and the flight takes about 2 hours 10 minutes. Agra Airport is a public airport that also serves as a military airbase, so security can differ from other commercial airports.[1]
Ahmedabad to Agra by Train
Indian Railways offers a slow, classic way to cross the country. A budget route runs from Ahmedabad Junction to Tundla Junction, the railway hub east of Agra, and the Sleeper Class (SL) is the cheapest class on it. SL gives you a basic bunk in a carriage without air conditioning, which suits backpackers. From Tundla you continue to Agra by taxi, auto-rickshaw or a local train.
Ahmedabad to Agra by Bus
Long-distance coaches with AC and Non-AC sleeper berths run on this route. It is a long trip, and the time depends on the operator and on traffic on the national highways. AC sleepers are the better choice in the hot months, and most buses stop at roadside dhabas for meals.
Ahmedabad to Agra by Private Transfer
If you travel as a group or want door-to-door service, a private transfer is the most expensive option. You choose the vehicle, from a hatchback or sedan to an SUV or a van, set your own schedule and get dropped at your hotel. It suits travelers with heavy luggage.
