The drive
Leave Delhi west through Bahadurgarh to Rohtak and Hisar. This is the fastest part of the trip, on wide highway. From Hisar the road crosses into Rajasthan to Rajgarh (Sadulpur). There you join SH-6, which runs west through Taranagar to Sardarshahar.
Some travellers go on from Rajgarh to Churu instead and come into Sardarshahar from Churu, about 55 km. Your navigation app will pick between the two based on traffic.
By train
There is no direct train from Delhi to Sardarshahar. Trains from Delhi run to Churu and to Ratangarh Junction. From Churu it is about 55 km by road, and from Ratangarh about 48 km. Sardarshahar's own station is on the Ratangarh line, with local DEMU trains. Book on IRCTC, and check running status on NTES.
By bus
RSRTC runs services between Delhi and Churu district. Some go to Sardarshahar directly, others to Churu or Ratangarh with connections. The bus takes much longer than driving. Check current departures on the RSRTC website.
