Dholavira does not have a train station too. The closest major station is Bhuj, which is 219 kilometres away. There is a small station called Rapar, which is 92 kilometres away, and stations like Samkhiala Junction and Bhachau. All the major trains bound for Bhuj stop here. You can also disembark here and hire a taxi to Dholavira.

The most convenient way to reach Dholavira is by road. Gujarat has an excellent road network and it is very easy to travel by road. Hire a taxi or a self-driven car to Dholavira or take a bus. The Gujarat State transport system operates buses every day at specified times. A bus leaves from Bhuj at 14:00 and arrives at Dholavira at 20:30.
