Bus fare from Delhi to Jaipur

I need to get to Jaipur from Delhi and can not afford too much on the travel, so the only option I have is to travel by bus. I would like to know how much I would have to spend on a bus fare from Delhi to Jaipur.

Although I need the cheapest ticket, I would still like to know all the options I have, as if there is not much of a difference in the cost for the different tickets I might consider getting the higher range one.

 

Hello, @Bunty, welcome to the forum!

Overview

The distance between Delhi and Jaipur is about 326 kilometres. It can take you around 5 to 6 hours to cover this distance by driving. On the other hand, taking public transport can mean a longer journey duration. At the most, journey duration can be around 7 hours and 30 minutes, especially with a bus. But if you want a cheap option, of course, nothing beats travelling by bus. Some buses are more luxurious though so you can opt for these ones if you want a comfortable journey. Luckily, plenty of buses are available for this route, operated by both the government and private companies.
