The fastest way to reach Jaipur from Delhi would be by flight, the cost of a return flight can be anything from Rs2300 and up.

2. What is the cheapest way to get from Delhi to Jaipur?

The cheapest way of traveling from Delhi to Jaipur is by bus or train depending on which class or type of bus you choose. Both have a difference of about Rs100 with being the cheapest.

3. What is the safest way to travel and at what time of the day?

You can choose any mode of transport to travel as all ways of traveling are safe and I would suggest traveling during the day.

4. Which mode of transport would be the best to experience India?

To be honest, if you want to experience then I would suggest public transport so either going by train or bus. It's the best way to see India and experience a different way of getting to your destination. If it's comfort which you want then I would suggest going by car or flight.

Traveling from Delhi to Jaipur – Best Options

That sounds like an amazing trip! Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur together form the Golden Triangle, and adding Jaipur is definitely worth it. Here’s a breakdown of the best travel options from Delhi to Jaipur, based on your questions:

1. Fastest Way to Get from Delhi to Jaipur?
By Flight – The quickest way is to take a flight from Delhi (DEL) to Jaipur (JAI), which takes about 1 hour. However, when you factor in airport check-ins and travel time to/from the airport, it might not save much time compared to the train or road options.

By Train (Vande Bharat Express) – If you prefer not to fly, the Vande Bharat Express (high-speed train) is the next fastest option, covering the distance in 4 hours.

2. Cheapest Way to Get from Delhi to Jaipur?
By Bus – Buses are the most budget-friendly option. You can get a state-run RSRTC bus or a private Volvo AC bus, costing between ₹300-₹1000 ($4-$12). Non-AC sleeper and semi-sleeper buses are even cheaper. The journey takes around 5-6 hours.

By Train – Regular express trains (like Shatabdi Express or Double Decker Express) also offer a good balance between cost and comfort, with prices starting at ₹200-₹1500 ($3-$18) depending on the class.

3. Safest Way to Travel & Best Time?
Train (Rajdhani, Shatabdi, or Vande Bharat Express) – Trains are generally safe and comfortable, especially if you book AC classes (1A, 2A, or 3A). They have proper security, clean washrooms, and food service.

Private Cab – If traveling with family, a private cab or self-drive rental is a safe and convenient choice, as you control the schedule. Try to travel during the day (6 AM - 6 PM) to avoid highway fog (in winter) or nighttime driving risks.

4. Best Mode to Experience India?
By Train – If you want the classic Indian travel experience, go for a train ride. You’ll see the countryside, interact with locals, and enjoy chai vendors walking down the aisles!
By Road (Car/Bus) – A road trip lets you stop at interesting places like Neemrana Fort or Dausa along the way.

My Recommendation

• If you want speed + comfort: Vande Bharat Express (Train)
• If you’re on a budget: Bus or regular train
• If you want flexibility: Hire a cab
• If you love adventure: Take a local train and experience Indian rail travel!

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need specific train or bus recommendations.
