33 buses run on this route, with the first departure at 02:45 and the last at 22:30. Check the timings above to find a night or early-morning bus that suits your travel plans. An early bus suits passengers who want to reach Junagadh(Gujarat) with most of the day still free, whether that is for a meeting, a connecting journey or simply to settle in before evening. A departure closer to 22:30 suits an overnight trip, where a sleeper or semi-sleeper allows passengers to rest through the journey instead of spending a whole day travelling.

When travelling long distances, a night bus is often the better choice, as the time spent sleeping on the bus is time that is otherwise lost to daytime travel. Many of the sleeper buses on this route are AC sleeper or Volvo coaches with reclined berths, curtains for privacy, blankets and reading lights so that passengers can get a true night's sleep before reaching Junagadh(Gujarat). Buses are GPS enabled and the live tracking link is provided shortly before the bus leaves. This is useful for late night or pre-dawn boarding when it helps to know when the bus is approaching the stop.

An early bus avoids the heavy daytime traffic and reaches Junagadh(Gujarat) before the city’s rush hour begins. It is a good choice for short or mid-length trips, where the goal is to arrive early and get a good start to the day.

Bus timings and frequency between 02:45 and 22:30 are subject to the operators operating on the date of travel. Passengers should consult the complete list of night and early buses before booking.

Tickets on this route start at INR 278, which is usually the fare on a non-AC seater bus booked a few days in advance. Fares go up to INR 1850.00 for AC sleeper and Volvo options, and for departures closer to the travel date.

Several factors decide where a fare falls within the INR 278 to INR 1850.00 range on any given day. The biggest factor is the bus type, as a seater will almost always be cheaper than a sleeper or Volvo coach on the same route. The day of the week also matters, as weekday departures may be cheaper than Friday evening or Sunday Volvo buses, when demand for sleeper buses is highest. 

Fares may also vary slightly for seats in the front or lower berth of the bus, and fares are often higher for festival or long weekend dates, generally moving towards the INR 1850.00 end regardless of bus type.

Booking ahead of the travel date and choosing a less popular departure time, both tend to bring the fare closer to INR 278 than INR 1850.00. Passengers looking for the cheapest prices can also use the price filter on the redBus listing to sort departures from lowest to highest and compare early buses against night buses on the same day before deciding.

The table below lists each bus type on this route, which usually goes from INR 278 to INR 1850.00.

Disclaimer: The bus types and fares available depend on the operators running on the route on the date of travel.

The best option depends on your travel time and budget. A non-AC seater suits a short-day trip or an early bus where the trip ends before comfort becomes an issue. 

For longer trips, or if you're taking a sleeper bus, the extra cost of a semi-sleeper or AC sleeper is often worth it, since it is much easier to sleep on a flat or reclined berth. The AC cabin on a sleeper or Volvo coach is an added incentive for passengers to choose these bus types, even for shorter daytime runs in summer.

Before confirming a bus ticket, passengers can check the following details apart from timings, fares and bus type:

• Bus Features: Each listing shows the features available on board, such as CCTV, blankets, pillows and charging points, which are more important on a long Volvo bus ride than on a short early bus hop.

• Seat Layout: Seat selection screen displays the seat layout, available seats and the presence of an onboard toilet (which is helpful when booking a long night bus trip).

• Live Tracking: All buses are equipped with GPS and the live tracking link is sent out approximately 30 minutes before the bus departs, allowing passengers who are boarding early (before sunrise) or late (after dark) to wait inside and time their arrival at the bus stop.

• Cancellation Terms: The operator's cancellation fees are listed on the ticket when it is booked, and it is important to check these before booking the cheapest tickets available as the lowest-priced seats are often non-refundable closer to the departure date.

• Women Travelling Alone: The Booking for Women filter on redBus highlights buses preferred by women travellers. It also shows the number of women already booked on a given sleeper bus or early bus, along with nearby seats booked as well as any offers for women passengers.

Around 11 operators serve this route, including Shree Hari Travels, Neelkanth Madhuram Travels. Both government RTC buses and private operators run on this route, and state corporation buses can be booked online on redBus alongside private buses.

Private operators on this route are more likely to operate with a variety of bus types and departure times, including a greater number of night buses and early buses, and government buses may be cheaper on the same trip.

When travelling overnight, it is useful to compare operator ratings and the bus features listed for each service. Reliability and departure time is more important when the alternative is arriving in Junagadh(Gujarat) either very late at night or very early in the morning.

Passengers can choose a dropping point closest to their destination. Some major dropping points on this route are Gandhi Square, Geeta Mandir Bus Stand, Madhuram Gate, Majevdi Gate, Motibag, Others, Railway Station, Sardarbag.

The drop time is worth planning around too. An early bus usually arrives while the city is still waking up, while a Volvo bus can land in the very early hours of the morning, so it helps to arrange onward transport or accommodation in Junagadh(Gujarat) before boarding.

Both options run on this route, and the better choice depends on how the passenger wants to use their travel time. The table below compares a sleeper bus with an early bus on the factors that matter most.

Passengers who value an extra free day at Junagadh(Gujarat) often prefer a Volvo bus, while those making a shorter trip, or who would rather not travel after dark, tend to pick an early bus. Both options, along with their cheapest bus fares and available bus types, can be compared on the redBus listing for Gandhinagar (Gujarat) to Junagadh(Gujarat) before booking
