Detailed
information here below:
| From
Delhi |
 |
By
train:
Direct daily night
train "Shekhawati Express" (train no 9733). It leaves Delhi
Sarai Rohila at about 11.00 p.m. and reaches Nawalgarh at 7 a.m. the
next morning. Sleepers are available in II class and II AC and can
be booked from any computerized railway reservation centre. Beware
of touts, even at the tourist reservation centre, who will tell you
that the train is fully booked, that you cannot get seats before many
days. They simply want to sell you a package tour with a car.
By
local bus:
Far less practical
than the train. Not really advisable. The buses operate from Inter
State Bus Terminal, Delhi.

6 hour drive (275 Km). First, drive towards Gurgaon, further on to
Rewari, Singhana, Chirawa, Jhunjhunu and Nawalgarh.

3 daily trains,
one in the morning and two in the afternoon. The quickest train (direction
Lahoru) leaves at 12.50 and reaches Nawalgarh at 16.20. No advance
booking necessary and not usually crowded but the train does take
longer than the bus.
By
local bus:
Numerous direct
buses (at least one every hour) taking 3 1/2 hours to reach Nawalgarh.
No advance booking, but very convenient. One simply needs to check
whether the bus is direct, because some others, also going towards
Shekhawati require a change in Sikar.

How
to reach Apani Dhani, once in Nawalgarh
If you come by bus
or by train without too much luggage, you can walk: approximately 1
km from the train station and 500 m from the bus stand. Otherwise, you
can easily find an autoricksaw for Rs.30 or Rs 40.
On request, we can
even come and pick you up (charges: Rs.100)
If you have to ask
for your way, the locals might know this place better under the name
of "Eco Farm" or the farm of Ramesh JANGID.
