Planning a Trip

By plane[edit]

  • Bodh Gaya fields international flights to Bangkok (Thailand) and Paro (Bhutan), catering largely to Buddhist pilgrims. Patna is connected to major Indian cities.

Bihar is connected by train to all major cities of India. Some good trains to reach the capital Patna are:

  • From Delhi – Rajendra Nagar Terminal Tejas Rajdhani Express, Patna Rajdhani Express (2309/2310), Sampurna Kranti Express (overnight journey)
  • From Kolkata – Patna Vande Bharat Express, Patna Jan Shatabdi Express (8-9 hr)
  • From Mumbai – Lokmanya Tilak Terminus–Rajendra Nagar Terminal Express
  • From Varanasi – Vibhuti Express (6 hr).

By road[edit]

Major National Highways which connect Bihar with other corners of country are NH 2, 19, 28, 30, 31.

Patna is well connected by road with the rest of the country. Deluxe bus services are available for Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Kolkata, Siliguri & the Nepal border.

Roads around Bihar are largely in poor condition and over-saturated with traffic. It is not advisable to drive on your own unless you are used to driving in India. Some car rental businesses may include a driver at an additional cost.
