What is the best and cheapest way of travelling from delhi to Alwar? I'm planning a weekend trip to the city, mostly to visit the famed Bhangar Fort, besides soaking in the other historical relics and natural beauty. However, I'm on a tight student budget and was wondering what would be my best option? Also, any ideas about hotels, guest houses or dharmshalas there?
catch a train from Delhi to Dausa and use state road transport, or Jeep ride in rural Rajasthan for Bhagarh. 2nd option is pick a private sleeper bus from fateh puri or Dhoula Kuan to Dausa via Alwar bypass.
