Saifai Voyage Tips and guide

Contents

Saifai is in Etawah district at the border with Mainpuri district. It is a university town, and a big part of the economy is based around the university and hospitals.

The nearest international airport is Lucknow International Airport. The nearest domestic airport is Agra Airport. Saifai also has an airstrip which is used only by unscheduled chartered flights.

There are two stations; Etawah Junction Railway station is the major railway station. Saifai Railway Station doesn't has any proper railway service. Please avoid it at any cost (as of 2024). Saifai Railway station is an abandoned type place, used by alcoholic persons.

There are several buses that go to Saifai which start from Etawah, Delhi and other cities.

It is connected from Delhi, Lucknow, and Agra from the 6-lane Agra Lucknow Expressway. Another 4-lane road connects Saifai to nearby towns.

Auto-rickshaws are available at most of the points, remember to agree on fares clearly in advance. Auto-rickshaws are operated on sharing basis.

Much of Saifai is pedestrian-friendly. Distances are not so long, although road signage is poor, and in the more tourist oriented areas, you'll be constantly accosted by beggars and touts. Try your best to move in a predictable straight line, so vehicles can weave around you. Better yet, latch onto a group of locals and cross in their shadow.
