Jaisalmer-Bikaner train introduced

E-mail Print PDF

A new train started service yesterday between Bikaner and Jaisalmer.

Train 4704 departs Bikaner daily at 06:40, then Gajner at 07:26 and gets to Jaisalmer at 13:45

Train 4703 departs Jaisalmer daily at 09:35, gets to Gajner at 15:03 and gets to Bikaner at 17:25

3-tier air con = Rs 429
Sleeper Class = Rs 163 (not air con)

The times for 4703 didn't seem right so I checked, the train gets to Lalgarh Jn at 15:55 and departs at 17:15 for the final 3 kms to Bikaner, so it may be better to get off the train at Lalgarh and get a rickshaw (and I bet the rickshaw drivers take advantage), I will investigate the reason for this delay.

I mention Gajner (34kms from Bikaner) because I saw Gajner on a TV programme a few days ago and it looks like a place worth visiting, has anyone been to Gajner?

Overnight trains will also be introduced shortly, their times are as follows.

Train 4702 departs Bikaner daily at 23:25 and gets to Jaisalmer at 06:10

Train 4701 departs Jaisalmer daily at 22:45 and gets to Bikaner at 04:40
