Getting to Bhuj

6/16/2015

As the hot summer starts turning sultry here in Bhuj, it's a reminder that foriegners will once again be arriving and seen on the streets soon...
Getting to Bhuj requires a little planning because, well it's quite remote and only serviced by 2 flights a day, in and out via Mumbai.
However as an Australian, I am usually coming home from Sydney. The Singapore Airlines flight from Sydney to Ahmedabad via Singapore is easy as, and Bhuj is about 7 -8  hours by road from Ahmedabad.
My favourite way to return home to Bhuj is on the Swaminaryan overnight sleeper bus!

The 905 or 904 Sleeper bus leaves from Ahmedabad around 10pm, and arrives in Bhuj at about 6am the following morning.
It does not have lay back seats tho like buses most would be familar with,  instead it has curtained off cubicles/ bunks where you can lie completely flat! I always get a single, but there are larger 'family' size ones for couples or tall or big people.  
I always sleep extreemely well on this bus! It stops twice during the night, and if I wake up the lively atmostphere of the road house, with it's cheap spicy food, an interesting mix of fellow travellers and hot steeming chai is most enjoyable.
As it's just starting to get light, the familiar villages close to Bhuj are a welcome sight, Ajrakhpur, Bhujodi and Madapur before seeing the crumbling old fort wall entering Bhuj.....Finally getting off in bus stand, where the early morning vegetable market is in full swing

This journey is really enjoyable, and being overnight you don't miss a day.....
At around Rs 500, it's a bargin in my opinion....but also great fun!

It's a great way to travel, the newer buses are so much more comfortable. But I also love the overnight train trips - best night's sleep, being gently rocked to dreamland.

One thing is for sure that getting to Bhuj requires a little planning which I have been able to make already. It sure was a good idea to get to know about the planning that I have made.
