Leaving the rugged jungles of Ranthambore National Park for the railway junctions of Uttar Pradesh is a switch from the wild heart of Rajasthan to the busy plains of the north. Sawai Madhopur is famous for its tigers, and Tundla is the junction you pass through on the way to Agra and the rest of the country.
The journey crosses a landscape of mustard fields and rural villages. Most travelers take it after a safari, looking for a reliable way to the next stop.
Sawai Madhopur to Tundla by Train
Tundla is one of the main railway junctions on the Delhi-Howrah route.[1] Trains are the traditional, budget-friendly way to get there, and the ride is a half-day trip that lets you watch the Indian countryside through the window.
Classes and comfort
1A (AC First Class) is the premium choice, with lockable compartments and bedding. 3A (AC 3-Tier) and 3E (AC 3-Tier Economy) give you cool air-conditioned berths for escaping the dusty heat of the plains. Sleeper Class (SL) has no air conditioning, but open windows bring a constant breeze and good photo opportunities.

A private car lets you leave on your own schedule, perhaps straight after a final morning safari. It also saves the extra taxis at each end of a train journey. Hatchbacks and sedans suit solo travelers and couples, while an SUV works for families and groups with luggage.
