How To Reach Old Badshahi Bridge

Karnal, Haryana, India
Historical Significance of the Crossing: The Old Badshahi Bridge, locally known as Badshahi Pul or the Mughal Bridge, is a monumental stone structure in Karnal that holds immense historical value, dating back to the period between 1540 and 1544 AD. It is prominently associated with Emperor Sher Shah Suri, who is credited with building and improving the famous Grand Trunk Road (NH-44) and ensuring safe passage for travelers, although some accounts also mention its use or renovation during the reign of Shah Jahan in the 17th Century. The bridge was a critical component of the arterial road that connected the eastern and western parts of the vast Mughal Empire. It facilitated trade, military movement, and the flow of pilgrims, making Karnal an important stopover on the route. It is one of the few surviving historical bridges of its kind that is structurally sound despite centuries of use and neglect. The bridge’s existence is a tangible link to the golden age of the Mughal Empire and the strategic importance of the Karnal region. (W.C. met)

How to Reach

By Air: Fly to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), Delhi (approx. 150 KMS). From the airport, hire a cab via NH-44 toward Karnal.

By Train: Arrive at Karnal Railway Station (KUN). The bridge is a short drive of about 10 KMS. Take a pre-paid taxi or auto-rickshaw.

By Road: Karnal is perfectly located on NH-44. The bridge is situated on the older section of the highway near the city. Road travel is the most convenient option, especially driving your own vehicle from nearby cities like Delhi, Panipat, or Kurukshetra.
