By Train

Since February 2006, a train travels between the Indian city of Jodhpur in Rajasthan and Karachi. It's the first international train travelling directly between the two countries since 1965.
The Thar Express leaves Karachi at 11pm on Fridays, taking almost 24 hours before arriving in Jodhpur on Saturday evening. In the opposite direction, trains leave and arrive on approximately the same time on the same days taking 24 hours as well.
