Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji Toll Tax, State Tax, Route, Distance, Travel Time & Vehicle Charges

Planning a trip to Khatu Shyam Ji Temple from Delhi? This guide covers everything you need before you leave home — the Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji Toll Tax State Tax Route guidework for different vehicles, and what typically goes into your total travel charges. Whether you’re driving a sedan, booking a Tempo Traveller, or organizing a bus for a group pilgrimage, this page will help you plan your Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji road trip with confidence.

The toll and state tax figures below are based on the current NHAI toll schedule and official Rajasthan Transport Department tax notifications (as of September 2026). NHAI revises toll rates roughly once a year (around 1 April), so if you’re travelling close to a revision date, double-check the live rate on your FASTag app or with your operator.

Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji Distance

The Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji distance is approximately 260–290 km by road, depending on the exact route you take. Most travellers cover the journey via NH48, the same highway that connects Delhi to Jaipur, before branching off near Kotputli or Chomu towards Ringas and Khatu Shyam Ji.

Because there are two or three viable road options, your actual distance and toll count will depend on which route your driver or navigation app selects.

Best Route from Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji by Road

The most commonly used and best-maintained route is:

Delhi → Gurgaon → Manesar → Dharuhera → Neemrana → Behror → Kotputli → Shahpura → Chomu → Ringas → Khatu Shyam Ji

A quick tip: start early (ideally before 6 AM) to avoid traffic congestion around Gurgaon and Manesar, and to reach Khatu Shyam Ji comfortably before the temple gets crowded.

This route runs mostly on NH48, a well-maintained, multi-lane highway with regular fuel stations, restaurants, and rest stops. An alternative, slightly shorter road via Rewari–Narnaul–Sikar exists too, but road quality and traffic can vary, so most taxi operators and tourists prefer the NH48 corridor.

Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji Travel Time

Travel time depends on your vehicle, traffic, and number of stops:

Cars generally move faster than larger vehicles on hilly or narrow stretches near Ringas, so buses and Tempo Travellers should budget extra time, especially with washroom or meal breaks for large groups.

Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji Toll Tax State Tax Route guide Charges by Vehicle (Actual Rates)

Toll tax on this route is collected at NHAI toll plazas on NH48 and is charged by vehicle category — Car/Jeep/Van, LCV (which covers Tempo Traveller), and Bus/Truck each pay a different slab. Below are the actual single-journey and return-journey toll rates at the toll plazas on this corridor, as per NHAI’s published toll schedule (effective 31 March 2026 – 30 March 2027).

Kherki Daula Toll Plaza (Delhi–Gurgaon, NH48)

Shahjahanpur Toll Plaza (NH48, Rajasthan border)

Manoharpur Toll Plaza (NH48, further into Rajasthan — applicable if your route continues via Shahpura/Chomu towards Ringas)

Total One-Way Toll Tax Estimate

These are official NHAI toll-plaza rates as published for the current fee cycle. NHAI revises toll rates once every financial year (usually around 1 April), so always confirm the live rate with your FASTag app before a trip planned close to a revision date.

Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji Toll Plaza List

Depending on the exact route selected, travellers typically cross 2 to 3 toll plazas:

• Kherki Daula (Delhi–Gurgaon stretch)
• Shahjahanpur (Rajasthan border, on the Gurgaon–Kotputli–Jaipur stretch)
• Manoharpur (further along NH48 if your route continues via Shahpura and Chomu towards Ringas, rather than cutting off earlier towards Sikar)

Since route planners currently show different toll-plaza combinations for the same origin and destination — some routes cut off before Manoharpur, others don’t — confirm your specific plaza list using Google Maps or your driver’s live navigation before starting the trip.

Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji State Tax Charges for Tourist Vehicles (Actual Rates)

When a Delhi-registered commercial vehicle (taxi, Tempo Traveller, or bus) enters Rajasthan under a Tourist permit (Section 88(9) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988) — which is what almost all outstation taxi and Tempo Traveller operators use — it is liable for Road Tax (R.T.) and Special Road Tax (S.R.T.), as notified by the Rajasthan Transport Department. Here are the official slab-wise rates:

Source: Rajasthan Transport Department, “Tax on Vehicle of Other State” notification for Contract Carriage vehicles under Tourist Permit.

How this applies to a one-day or two-day Khatu Shyam Ji trip:

• The Special Road Tax (S.R.T.) is charged per day, so for a same-day round trip, operators typically pay it for 1 day; for an overnight trip, it’s charged for 2 days.
• The Road Tax (R.T.) is charged per seat for a 7-day block, so even a one-day trip is billed at the full 7-day R.T. rate — this is usually a small amount compared to the S.R.T.
• Almost all Delhi-based Tempo Traveller and bus operators include this state tax in their quoted package price. When comparing quotes, confirm explicitly whether state tax is included or billed as an extra.
• Private (non-commercial), personally owned cars generally do not attract this Tourist Permit tax — this mainly applies to hired/commercial vehicles.

Note: These are the published slab rates for Contract Carriage vehicles under Section 88(9). Rates can be revised by the state government, so confirm the current applicable rate with your operator or at the Rajasthan check-post before travel.

Which Vehicle Should You Choose for Your Khatu Shyam Ji Trip?

A sedan works well for small families wanting a quick darshan trip, while Tempo Travellers are popular for group pilgrimages because of their comfortable seating and luggage space for puja items. Large groups, wedding parties, or corporate/temple trusts organizing bulk travel usually opt for a bus or Volvo for cost efficiency per seat.

Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji Travel Cost — What’s Included

Your total travel charges for this trip usually combine:

1. Base vehicle rental / per-km fare
2. Toll tax (varies by route and vehicle)
3. State tax / permit charges (for commercial vehicles crossing into Rajasthan)
4. Driver allowance (for overnight or early-start trips)
5. Parking charges near the temple, especially during peak season

When comparing quotes from different operators, always ask whether toll and state tax are included or charged separately — this is the most common reason two quotes for the same vehicle can look very different.

Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji Parking Charges

Parking near Khatu Shyam Ji Temple is managed locally (by the temple committee and the Khatu town municipal body), not by NHAI, so rates are lower and more variable than highway tolls, and can rise during peak season (Phalgun Mela, Ekadashi) when temporary parking zones are opened further from the temple. Based on current on-ground rates reported by regular pilgrims and taxi operators:

*These are on-ground, locally collected charges rather than a government-notified toll, so they are not fixed the way NHAI toll rates are — treat the above as a realistic planning range rather than an exact fee, and confirm with your driver or the parking attendant on arrival. During the Lakhi Mela and major festival days, vehicles are often directed to designated parking grounds slightly further from the temple, with shuttle or e-rickshaw connectivity to the main gate.

Best Time to Start Your Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji Trip

Most pilgrims prefer starting between 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM to beat Gurgaon traffic and reach the temple in time for morning darshan or the Mangala Aarti. If you plan a one-day round trip, an early start also gives you a comfortable buffer for meal stops and return travel before nightfall — driving after dark on the Ringas–Khatu stretch is best avoided due to limited lighting.

Best Restaurants and Dhabas on the Delhi to Khatu Shyam Ji Route

The NH48 corridor has several reliable, well-reviewed food stops for breakfast and lunch. Popular options travellers commonly stop at include:

Vegetarian food is widely available all along this route, which is convenient for pilgrims observing fasting or dietary restrictions before Khatu Shyam Ji darshan. It’s advisable to have your main meal before Ringas, since food options thin out on the final stretch closer to the temple town.

Best Hotels Near Khatu Shyam Ji Temple

Khatu town has a large number of hotels and guesthouses within walking distance of the temple, catering to everything from budget pilgrim stays to mid-range family hotels. Some frequently recommended options:

Typical room rates (per night):

• Budget hotels/dharamshalas: ₹700 – ₹1,200
• Mid-range hotels: ₹1,500 – ₹2,500
• Premium stays: ₹3,000 and above

During Phalgun Mela and major Ekadashi dates, rooms fill up quickly and rates can rise — book at least a few days in advance for these periods.

Budget Hotels and Dharamshalas Near Khatu Shyam Ji

For pilgrims looking for simple, low-cost stays, Khatu has several dharamshalas offering basic rooms, often run by temple trusts or community organizations:

• Shyam Dharamshala — one of the most well-known, close to the temple
• Fatehabad Dharamshala — budget rooms, several hotels are clustered around it
• Multiple smaller community dharamshalas around the main temple road, typically charging a nominal amount per night

These are best suited for solo pilgrims or small groups on a tight budget; families and larger groups are usually more comfortable in the budget-to-mid-range hotels listed above, which offer private rooms and attached bathrooms.

Hotels with Parking for Tempo Traveller and Bus

If you’re travelling by Tempo Traveller or bus, look for hotels that explicitly advertise gated or open parking for larger vehicles — several hotels near the temple mention this:

• Hotel Dinanath — gated parking, about a 10-minute walk from the temple
• Hotel Hanuman Palace — gated parking, close to temple
• Hotel Shekhawati Resort — parking available, near Toran Dwar

For a 12-seater or larger Tempo Traveller and especially for full-size buses, it’s best to confirm parking space directly with the hotel before booking, since narrow lanes near the temple core can make bus access difficult — many bus operators prefer to park at a designated public parking ground and use shared autos or e-rickshaws for the last stretch.
