To get from Russia to a distant and excellent Agro, you first need to be reached by somehow to the capital of India. Well, from there, you can already choose transport on my understanding - either the plane, or a train or a taxi or bus.
Unfortunately, direct flights from Moscow or from St. Petersburg to Agra does not exist, however, you can use a docking flight through New Delhi. And then, to fly from New Delhi to Agra, you will have to make a transfer to Varanasi. Just keep in mind that only a few flights a week fly from the capital in Agroup, so if you will get in this way, then you will need to focus on the current schedule.
The easiest and most convenient option to get from Moscow to New Delhi is to use the services of the popular Aeroflot. Literally after 6 hours on the direct flight you will find yourself in the capital of India. However, it is worth considering that this is not the cheapest option, as tickets are expensive. Therefore, in order to save must be carefully followed by the company's shares. A more fiscal option will be reached by the services of Gulf Air airline with a transfer to Bahrain. Also, there are also many good options from Emirates and Qatari airlines with various combinations of transfers.
If you fly from the capital of India by plane in Agra, you will arrive at the airport, located just 6 kilometers from the city. There directly at the airport you will find a taxi rack with prepayment. You will be taken to the city center for 320 Indian rupees. Also near the airport there are stops of public transport, but it is not known what schedule it runs, and it's not the best idea with a luggage.
Very convenient to get from New Delhi in Agra by train. The distance between the two these cities is 200 kilometers and it can be overcome in about 2-3 hours, and the trains run every day. Of course, it is best to go in the first class, a ticket to which costs about 263 Indian rupees, but the second class is less comfortable, because there is no air conditioner, but it costs it, respectively, 70 Indian rupees.
Tickets are better to buy in advance, because on the day of departure they can simply be. In principle, not to stand in line at the station, you can buy a ticket to the tourist bureau, even there and take a percentage of the provision of services, but there are no queues there. By the way, the train is issued during the way of lunch, so you will not stay hungry. If you come to the city only for one day, in principle, in the same evening you can return and back.
Right at the railway station you can easily hire a taxi, or Motoricks right on the prepayment rack - you will see it right away, how to arrive. All prices are fixed there, and the cost will depend on the area in which you will go. If you need to be in the center, then it will cost about 200 Indian rupees for a taxi, but Motoriksha will cost 2 times cheaper. If you want to take a private tracer, then definitely trample, because they overestimate the initial cost at least several times.
Indian buses have no clear schedules and they usually go very overloaded, because people drive with a lot of things. So, if you want to avoid such a torture, you can take a ticket for a bus with high comfort. Buses to New Delhi are departed from Sarai Kale Bus Stand after they are filled, travel time is approximately about 4 hours, if not to get into a serious traffic jam. In Agra, buses arrive at the IDGAH Bus Station station.
Some experienced travelers immediately after arrival in India are renting a car to watch along the way to Agru and other cities. However, it is necessary to be a very experienced driver and rely well their skills, because in India almost no one keeps the rules of the road. In many cars there are no side mirrors in general, well, instead of turn signals, drivers often use car beep.
New Delhi and Agra are connected by a very fast quality automotive expensive, but it is paid. If you do not want to risk and drive yourself in person, you can order a taxi or at the airport, or at the railway station. It will cost you about four to five thousand Indian rupees.
