Kota is well connected by bus to destinations in Rajasthan and across the state border to Bhopal and Indore. Services to Bundi leave more or less every half an hour, taking around one hour.

Travelers heading northeast towards Agra often pass through Kota to pick up the main broad-gauge line, which is also the most straightforward approach to Sawai Madhopur , jumping-off place for Ranthambore National Park. The recommended service here is the Paschim Express #2955, which leaves at 8.50am and arrives one-and-a-half hours later. There are also six daily trains to Delhi (most of them via Jaipur and Bharatpur).

The easiest one to get a seat on at short notice is the Golden Temple Mail #2903, leaving daily at 11.30am, but the Rajdhani Express services #2951/2953/2431 are more punctual and quicker.

To Mumbai (via Ujjain and Indore), the fastest trains are again the Rajdhani Expresses #2432/2952/2954, but for Jaipur you'll probably find it easier to book a seat on the Mumbai-Jaipur Superfast #2955, which departs at 8.50am and takes only two hours.
