Still, its India and honestly, you really cannot plan.
Flights to the US normally depart around midnight or later. I'd say, if this is the case, you are comfortable. But check a couple of things in advance
- does the train originate at Sawai Madhopur?
- can you keep a back up rental car ready, to drop you to Delhi IGI airport?
Ah, thanks. I should have mentioned that my flight is 0015 on 10 March. A friend tells me that fog isn't a concern that time of the year, so I should be all right.
The train originates in Mumbai, I believe. It's #2903, the Golden Temple Mail.
