How to Reach Jawai from Delhi by Train
Traveling by train is one of the most popular and affordable ways to reach Jawai from Delhi. Many travelers prefer trains because they are comfortable and you can see the beautiful Indian countryside along the way.
Step-by-Step Train Journey
Step 1: Choose Your Train from Delhi
There is no direct train to Jawai station. You need to take a train from Delhi to one of the nearby railway stations, and then travel to Jawai by road.
The nearest railway stations to Jawai are:
- Falna Railway Station (25 km from Jawai)
- Rani Railway Station (30 km from Jawai)
- Sumerpur Railway Station (50 km from Jawai)
Falna is the most convenient option as it’s closest to Jawai and has good train connections from Delhi.
Step 2: Book Your Train Ticket
You can book train tickets from these Delhi railway stations:
- New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS)
- Delhi Junction (DLI)
- Hazrat Nizamuddin (NZM)
Popular trains from Delhi to Falna:
| Train Name | Train Number | Departure Station | Departure Time | Arrival at Falna | Travel Time |
