My friend once took a 24-hour bus ride and couldn’t stop talking about the experience. That got me wondering what the longest bus ride you can actually take within India is. Just curious how far one journey on wheels can really go.

One of the longest bus rides you can take within India is from Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) to Goa, which covers around 2,300 kilometers and takes about 60 hours. That’s almost two and a half days on the road! There are also other long routes like Bengaluru to Jaisalmer or Jodhpur, which are nearly 2,000 kilometers and take between 36 to 45 hours. These buses pass through multiple states and offer a real taste of how diverse India is.
If you like mountain adventures, the Delhi to Leh bus ride is another epic journey. It covers over 1,000 kilometers and takes around 35 hours, with breathtaking views of the Himalayas. There’s also the international bus from Delhi to Kathmandu, which is about 1,250 kilometers and takes close to 30 hours. So yes, if you love road travel and have the patience, India has some of the longest and most exciting bus rides to explore!
