How to Travel from Chandigarh to Rajasthan by Road

• Jaipur (555 km, 8 to 9 hours via NH44 & NE4): Leave Chandigarh by 6 AM and reach Jaipur by late afternoon. The route uses the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway (NE 4) section after NH44, which reduces traffic and improves average speeds. Factor in 30 to 45 minutes for the Delhi stretch during peak hours.
• Bikaner (551 km, 9 to 10 hours via NH7 & NH 754A): A similar distance to Jaipur but a slower drive. Bikaner is an underrated entry point; Junagarh Fort, the Karni Mata Temple, and the local cuisine are worth a full day before moving west to Jaisalmer or south to Jodhpur.
