Transport between Patan and Bhuj / Mandvi and Okha in Gujarat
1. How to get from PATAN to BHUJ by train or bus? Do you know if there are daytime buses from Patan or Palanpur?
A. By train, it's quite complicated. That said, from Ahmedabad, there's train number 22903 (6:35 AM–12:45 PM), but you need to pay close attention to travel dates, as the train leaves Mumbai at 11:45 PM the night before. B. State buses from Patan and Palanpur to Bhuj do exist and leave in the morning.
* Palanpur - Bhuj leaves at 5:30 AM and arrives at 2:25 PM, passing through Disa, Radhanpur, Bhachau, and Gandhidham. It costs 280 rupees. * Patan - Bhuj: the Unjha-Nakhatrana bus leaves Unjha at 7:00 AM, arrives in Patan at 7:40 AM, and drops you in Bhuj at 4:20 PM before continuing to Nakhatrana. It costs 270 rupees.
2. Is there a ferry service between Mandvi and Okha?
In my opinion, no.

Hello everyone.
It's to greet all the old-timers here with whom I had so many interactions when I used to visit this platform regularly and eagerly before it was shut down, much to our dismay.
I was a member under the name "Jaydev," but it seems I can't log in with that name anymore. Maybe I deleted the username, thinking VoyageForum wouldn't come back.
I'm so happy to be able to log in here again. Talking about Indian things—and in the language I love—lets me practice and chat with people who love the land where I was born.
From a visitor's perspective, I find it really interesting to interact with the local population. That's what gives meaning to the word "travel." Without it, traveling is essentially just "getting from one place to another."
Thanks, and see you soon.

3-Week North India Itinerary
Hi there,
This itinerary isn’t bad at all. It’ll keep you on the move a bit, but the in-country travel costs will be pretty reasonable.
My tips:
1. Previously, Indian Railways only allowed booking tickets up to 60 days in advance starting November 1st. 2. Make sure to buy/reserve your train tickets as soon as your travel dates are within that 60-day window. Don’t wait too long. 3. Even if you’re not 100% sure about your dates, go ahead and buy the tickets anyway. You can always cancel them for a small fee. 4. Choose the Vande Bharat train between Varanasi and Delhi—it’s the best class of train in India right now. It’ll be way more comfortable and a great new experience.
