Airport Road
By train
By bus
Jamnagar has a well-established road link to various cities of Gujarat like Rajkot (4 lane), Porbandar, Bhuj, Bhavnagar, Ahmedabad, Baroda and Sura.
By auto-rickshaw
Auto rickshaw is the preferred transport, locally. Fix the fare before getting on an auto rickshaw. Prices vary by distance but start from ₹7 up to ₹15 within the town.
By taxi
Taxis are hired to travel longer distance. Everything within the town is covered by auto rickshaw. Again, fix the price and try to bargain a bit!
By bicycle
Almost all areas of Jamnagar can be reached on a bicycle. Wearing a facemask helps - especially if you want to avoid dust/vehicle pollution. This is next best of course to a scooter/mobike.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
