How to Reach Sultanganj from Patna

As Bihar's capital and a major transport hub, Patna is a common starting point for pilgrims heading to Sultanganj and onward to Deoghar for the Kanwar Yatra.

Approximately 195-210 km, taking around 3-4 hours by private car or taxi. Buses also cover this route, typically taking a bit longer.

Direct trains run from Patna (Patna Junction or Rajendra Nagar Terminal) to Sultanganj, with journeys taking roughly 3 to 5 hours depending on the specific train - services run fairly frequently throughout the day, including some overnight options.

Patna has the nearest major airport with wide domestic connectivity - if you're flying in from further away, Patna is usually the better-connected option before continuing to Sultanganj by train or road.
