Delhi to Bikaner flights — quick facts

Choosing between IndiGo and Alliance Air to Bikaner

Two airlines connect Delhi and Bikaner non-stop. IndiGo started a daily service on 7 Feb, 2025, using ATR 72 turboprops on its regional 6E 7xxx flight numbers. Alliance Air has flown the route since October 2023, also on ATRs. That gives you up to two departures on most days, though not necessarily every day for Alliance Air. The choice often comes down to timing and terminal: IndiGo uses Delhi's T1 or T2, while Alliance Air has typically used T3. Compare both on FlightGPT before you decide.

Departing Delhi IGI: terminals and transport

Check your boarding pass for the terminal, since Delhi's terminals have no airside link. Terminal 1 has its own station on the Magenta Line metro. Terminal 3 is reached by the Airport Express (Orange Line) from New Delhi station in about 20 minutes, with Terminal 2 next door. By cab, allow 40–60 minutes from central Delhi and longer at rush hour. ATR flights usually board by bus from a remote stand, and gates close about 25 minutes before departure, so do not linger in the shops.

A desert city of forts and havelis

Bikaner was founded in 1488 by Rao Bika and is one of Rajasthan's best-preserved old cities. Highlights include:

The old walled city is best explored on foot or by auto, early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat.

Karni Mata at Deshnoke and Gajner

Many visitors fly to Bikaner for the Karni Mata temple at Deshnoke, about 30 km south of the city, famous for the thousands of rats that live in it and are treated as sacred. The temple draws large crowds during the Navratri festivals in spring and autumn. Gajner Palace and its lake, about 30 km west, are another short trip. Hire a taxi for half a day to cover Deshnoke; from Bikaner Airport at Nal, the drive is a little longer because the airport lies on the opposite side of the city.

Landing at Nal: the Bikaner terminal

Bikaner Airport is a civil enclave at the Nal Air Force station, about 13 km west of the city centre. The terminal is small and bags come out quickly. Security is strict and photography is not allowed. Taxis and some autos wait for arriving flights, but options thin out quickly, so many hotels and heritage properties offer airport transfers on request. The ride into the old city takes 25–30 minutes.

Baggage rules for an ATR flight to Bikaner

IndiGo economy fares include 15 kg check-in and one 7 kg cabin bag; on the ATR, cabin bags must also meet the size limit, as overhead bins are small. Alliance Air economy fares typically include 15 kg checked baggage and one cabin bag. Pack light cotton clothes, a hat and sunscreen for the desert sun, and a warm layer for winter nights, which can fall close to freezing in December and January. Power banks must be in your hand luggage.

When Delhi–Bikaner seats sell out

The Bikaner Camel Festival in January and the October-to-March tourist season are the busiest times for this route. Christmas and New Year weeks, Diwali and Holi also see heavy demand, as do weddings in Bikaner's large trading families. With only two ATRs a day, seats can go quickly on popular dates. Early-morning departures from Delhi between mid-December and January are vulnerable to fog delays, which can cascade through the day's schedule.

A two-day Bikaner plan from Delhi

With a morning flight from Delhi, you can be in Bikaner by midday. Spend the afternoon at Junagarh Fort, which closes in the early evening, and walk the old city lanes at sunset. On day two, drive out early to Deshnoke before the crowds, then visit Lalgarh Palace and the camel farm in the afternoon. Many travellers then fly back to Delhi or continue by road to Jaisalmer, about 5–6 hours west. Taste Bikaneri bhujia at the source and the local kachori breakfast before you leave.

Train or road if the flights are full

Overnight trains from Delhi to Bikaner take around 8–10 hours and remain a popular choice. The drive is about 7–8 hours via Haryana and Churu. Flying to Jodhpur, which has more Delhi flights, and driving about 4 hours to Bikaner is another option.
