Jaipur, the Pink City of Rajasthan, is the best-known stop on the Golden Triangle with Delhi and Agra. The distance is short, so you can go by train or by air depending on how much time you want to spend on the way.
Delhi to Jaipur by Train
Trains connect several Delhi stations (New Delhi, Old Delhi, Delhi Sarai Rohilla and Delhi Cantt) with Jaipur Junction, the main station in the city centre. Departure stations differ by train, so check the station name on your ticket. Journey times, fares and availability depend on the service, so look at the current schedule and book on the IRCTC website or app.
Daytime trains offer AC Chair Car (CC) and Executive Chair Car (EC) seats. Overnight and long-distance services have AC sleeper classes (1A, 2A, 3A) and the non-AC Sleeper class (SL), which is the cheapest and can be hot and dusty in summer.
