Lucknow, the city of the Nawabs, and Jaipur, the Pink City, sit about 514 km apart as the crow flies.[1] Between them lie the plains of Uttar Pradesh and the edge of Rajasthan, so the choice is simple: a long day-and-night rail ride through the countryside, or a short flight over it.

Lucknow to Jaipur by Train

Train 19716 runs from Lucknow to Jaipur and train 19715 returns, and the ride takes more than 13 hours.[2] It is the slow, scenic option: you watch farmland, small stations and tea stalls roll past while chai sellers walk the carriages. Book a berth in an AC class if you want to sleep, and reserve early on IRCTC, because seats fill quickly around holidays.

Lucknow to Jaipur by Flight

IndiGo flies between the two cities. Fares start at about ₹5,561 and often land between ₹7,000 and ₹10,000. Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (LKO) is about 14 km outside Lucknow, so allow time to reach it from the centre. On most domestic IndiGo flights you can check in up to 15 kg of luggage.[1]

Tips for Traveling from Lucknow to Jaipur

  • Book the train early: Reserve on IRCTC as soon as your dates are fixed, especially in the cooler months when Jaipur is busiest.
  • Time your trip: The best time to visit Jaipur is from early November to February.[1]
  • Flights: IndiGo advises booking about two months ahead for better fares.[1]
  • Sleep on the way: The long train ride saves you a night in a hotel and puts you in Jaipur ready for Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal and the City Palace.
  • Check the timetable: Train departure times are revised from time to time, so confirm yours on IRCTC or NTES before you leave for the station.
