How to reach Tadoba from Bangalore?
What is the shortest route and distance?
Road / Rail /Air convenience...
I have tried to address all these below…
From Bangalore to Tadoba
Nearest railhead is Chandrapur (30 kms) or Balharshah (35 kms).
Option 1: If you have sufficient time take the days train so that you don’t miss on the next day morning safari.
1. Sanghamitra Express – 2295 – Dep: 9am Arrival: 5:30am at Chandrapur. From there 30 minutes drive and you are drive straight into the morning safari. Journey time: 20 hours.
Train runs 6 days a week and 2AC fare is about 1200/- per person. This would be fastest of the day trains and would be convenient for people on short trips.
2. Jaipur Express – 2975 – Dep: 1pm Arrival: 8:20am at Chandrapur. Reach Tadoba, rest for couple of hours and start with the afternoon safari. Journey time: 19 hours.
Train runs on Thursday and Saturday.
3. Gorakhpur Express – 5016 – Dep: 7:40am Arrival: 6:30am at Chandrapur. Slightly inconvenient and longer train. Journey time: 23 hours.
Run only on Thursday.Bagmati Express – 2578 – Alternate to Sanghamitra on Fridays. No other changes.
Option 2: Fastest way of reaching Tadoba
1. Rajdhani Express – 2429 – Dep: 8:20pm Arrival: 1:15pm at Balharshah (but ticket needs to booked till Nagpur as there is no official stop at Balharshah only change of guards and division). You will be right in time for the afternoon safari. Journey time: 17 hours.
Train runs on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. 3AC fare is about 1500/- per person.
Option3: Road and Rail
1. Take an overnight Volvo bus to Hyderabad and ensure you reach by 6am. Catch the daily AP Express (2723) to reach Chandrapur by 1pm. Journey time: 17 hours.
Option4: Air
Bangalore – Nagpur flight (4 hrs) and from there by road to Tadoba (3 hrs). Slightly inconvenient and almost the day goes off in travelling to and fro from the airport.
