Tips for Traveling from Mumbai to Jodhpur

Book trains early: Reserve your berth as soon as your dates are fixed, especially in the AC classes.
Check the departure station: The Suryanagari Express leaves from Bandra Terminus, not from Mumbai Central. Look at your ticket before you set off.
Pack a layer: Jodhpur sits at the edge of the desert, and winter nights can be chilly even when the days are warm.
Allow time at the airport: Mumbai's airport is busy, so arrive early for domestic departures.
