Favorite thing: Rajasthan Government run very comfortable Volvo buses from Bikaner House, Pandara Road, New Delhi to Jaipur and from Sindhi Camp, Main Bus Stand, Jaipur to Bikaner House, Pandara Road, New Delhi.
These ply every 30 mins-1 hr during the day.
They take about 5 hours to complete the journey.
Tickets cost INR 700/- (2011 prices) per passenger.
The Volvo buses, with bathroom attached, are the newer buses which have no stops along the journey.
They sell tea, cold drinks, sandwiches and chips inside the buses.
At the end ofthe journey, you do not feel tired at all.
