How to get there by Air

Bhopal, Gwalior, Khajuraho and Indore are connected by air to Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Calcutta. A number of private airlines have commercial services to the state, as does the national domestic carrier. Auto rickshaws, taxis and airport-city buses are available outside the terminus for the ride to the city centre, or you could have a rented car meet you on arrival.

How to get there by Rail

Madhya Pradesh lies on the main rail routes between Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Chennai. Superfast and express trains link the major cities in the state to other important destinations in the country. The Taj Express and the Shatabdi Express are two superfast trains from Delhi to Gwalior (4hrs) and Bhopal (7hrs).

How to get there by Road

Towns and cities in Madhya Pradesh are well connected by inter state buses that ply to Madhya Pradesh from the neighbouring states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Maharashtra. The major highways are well maintained, making for pleasant driving conditions. The distances between Bhopal (the capital of Madhya Pradesh) and Bombay is 789 km, Aurangabad-588 km, Ahmedabad-571 km, Agra-523 km, Delhi-728 km.

Getting around

Bhopal, Gwalior, Khajuraho and Indore have airports and are connected by air to several other Indian cities. A number of private airlines operate commercial services to the state, as does the national domestic carrier.

National and state highways connect the various towns and cities of Madhya Pradesh. Most major roads are well maintained, with gas and service stations dotting the roadside, shops and eating establishments at regular intervals. The distances aren’t very big either; the important centres are Gwalior-422 km, Indore-187 km, Ujjain-189 km, Sanchi-46 km, Khajuraho-387 km, Mandu-290 km and Pachmarhi-210 km from Bhopal.

The immense network of Indian Railways passenger, express and superfast trains connects all the places in Madhya Pradesh to each other and to other parts of the country. Bhopal and Gwalior lie right in the middle of the main line connecting north and south India and north and west India, so all trains to and from there pass through Bhopal and Gwalior.
