How To Reach Patrika Gate

Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The Patrika Gate is a majestic and relatively modern architectural marvel in Jaipur, serving as the ninth gate of the Walled City and the grand entrance to the Jawahar Circle Garden, one of Asia's largest circular parks. It was built by the Patrika Group of publications and was inaugurated in 2020.

How to Reach

Patrika Gate is located in a highly accessible area of Jaipur, close to the airport and on a major arterial road, Jawaharlal Nehru Marg (JLN Marg).

By Air: The nearest airport is Jaipur International Airport (JAI), also known as Sanganer Airport.

Distance: The airport is exceptionally close to Patrika Gate, approximately 1. 5 to 2. 5 KMS.

From Airport: Upon arrival at the airport, you can easily hire a pre-paid taxi, use a ride-sharing app (like Ola or Uber), or take a local auto-rickshaw. The short distance means the ride will take only about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on traffic, and will be relatively inexpensive. It is often the first or last stop for tourists flying into or out of Jaipur.

By Train: The main railway station is Jaipur Junction (JP).

Distance: The railway station is approximately 10 to 11 KMS from Patrika Gate.

From Railway Station:

You have multiple options:

Taxi/App-Cab: This is the most comfortable and quickest option, taking around 30-40 minutes depending on the time of day and traffic.

Auto-Rickshaw: A more economical and local option. Ensure you agree on a fare or confirm the meter usage before starting the journey.

Local Bus: Public buses are available from near the railway station heading towards JLN Marg or Malviya Nagar. This is the cheapest option but requires some local knowledge and can be crowded.

By Road: Jaipur is well-connected by National Highways to major Indian cities.

From Delhi/Agra/Other Cities: If traveling by intercity bus or private car, the Patrika Gate is easily reached as it is on a prominent road, JLN Marg.

Nearest Bus Stand: The main intercity bus terminal, Sindhi Camp Bus Stand, is about 13 KMS away. From there, you can hire a taxi, app-cab, or auto-rickshaw directly to the gate. Since it is a well-known landmark, local drivers will easily know the location.

Private Vehicle: There is ample parking available at the adjacent Jawahar Circle Garden.

By Local Transport: Within Jaipur, reaching the gate is very straightforward:

Auto-Rickshaws: Widely available across the city. Always negotiate the price or insist on the meter before the ride.

Cycle-Rickshaws (near the Old City): Not practical for the 10+ KM distance but an option for very short distances nearby.

Local Buses: City buses run frequently on JLN Marg. Look for routes that go towards Malviya Nagar or the airport.

Ride-Sharing Apps (Ola/Uber): The most reliable and transparent method of local transport, offering both car and auto options.
