The much-awaited Jaipur-Agra Shatabdi Express is all set to boost tourism on the most popular tourism circuit - the Golden Triangle. The train that would take its inaugural run between the two major tourist destinations on November 30, would virtually make Agra a day return destination from here.
Set to cover a distance of over 230-kilometre in little than three hours, the train will stop only at Bharatpur for two minutes. Shatabdi Express from Jaipur will leave daily at 7.30 am and reach Agra by 10.30 am. It will leave the Taj city at 4.20 pm and reach Jaipur at 7.50 pm. The train will be taking half-an-hour more on its return journey for Jaipur, according to the time-table.
Since there is no air connectivity between the two destinations, a convenient Shatabdi would make more and more people look at visiting the Taj and returning back the same day to Jaipur as there is not much that they can do in Agra. Besides a days’ trip to Keoladeo National Park from Jaipur also could get more convenient, he said.
