Travel notes: Delhi to Patna
Delhi to Patna is about 1000 km, or roughly 17 hours of driving. Many drivers would split that over two days, so ask about a night stop. Most drivers use the Yamuna Expressway to Agra, then the Agra–Lucknow and Purvanchal expressways towards eastern Uttar Pradesh, entering Bihar near Buxar. Trips to north Bihar often branch off towards Gorakhpur instead.
Patna is Bihar's capital, on the south bank of the Ganga. The Mahatma Gandhi Setu and JP Setu link it to north Bihar, so it also works as a change point for onward travel to Hajipur, Muzaffarpur and beyond.
Demand on these routes rises around Chhath, Diwali and Holi, when trains fill up quickly, so look early for those dates. On a trip this long, agree on breaks, night stops and luggage with the driver before you book.
