How to Get from Delhi to Jodhpur
Contents

Leaving the frantic energy of Delhi for the indigo-hued streets of Jodhpur takes you from India's political heart to its desert soul. The high-rise skyline fades, the landscape turns arid and golden, and the massive Mehrangarh Fort appears above the Blue City.

Tips for Traveling from Delhi to Jodhpur

  • Book trains early: Indian Railways opens reservations 60 days before the journey, and 365 days ahead for foreign tourists.[4] AC classes fill first in the October to March peak season.
  • Choose the right station: Delhi has several major stations. Check whether your train leaves from New Delhi, Old Delhi or Delhi Sarai Rohilla before you head out.
  • Prepare for the desert: Jodhpur is hotter and drier than Delhi, so carry water and a light scarf for sun and dust.
  • Protect your luggage: Keep valuables in a small bag with you, and secure larger suitcases under the seat with a small chain and lock.
