Key Tips for Travellers
- This is an overnight journey — the bus departs at 5:45 PM and arrives at Diu at 3:05 AM, so carry a light blanket or jacket as AC buses can get cold at night.
- The bus spends about 1.5 hours navigating Ahmedabad city stops (6:21 PM to 7:15 PM) — if you’re boarding from Ahmedabad, choose the stop closest to you.
- There is a long highway stretch from Ujala Circle (7:15 PM) to Bagodara (8:33 PM) with no stops in between — use this time to settle in.
- The Bagodara to Bhavnagar leg takes approximately 3 hours — the longest single stretch of the journey.
