FAQs
What airport should I fly into?
BOM or PNQ depending on where you’re coming from. See the travel details for more info on booking flights.
Where will guests be staying throughout the wedding?
All guests will be provided a villa at Malhar Machi (venue) or Jalshrushti (sister resort) from Oct 27th-29th. We would like for most guests to arrive in Pune on October 26th - please reserve a room in our hotel block if you’re not staying with friends or family. See the accommodations page & check out the schedule for more context.
How will we get from Bombay to Pune, or from Pune to the wedding venue and vice versa?
We’ll provide transport from the Sheraton Pune to the venue on 10/27 around 11:00 AM, and back to Pune/PNQ on 10/29 around 11:00 AM. If those times don’t work, book your own cab.
Guests are responsible for their own travel between Mumbai and Pune before/after the wedding. Check out Cab & Airport Transfers for info on booking your own transport & wedding transport in general.
Do I need a visa?
Yes, you’ll need a visa! Scroll to the bottom of Travel Details for more info. We recommend signing up for Whatsapp reminders to stay up to date on these sorts of deadlines.
What should I wear to the wedding? What about traveling through India?
See our outfit guide for advice. Generally speaking, you’ll need 3 outfits (welcome dinner, mehndi/sangeet, & wedding).
What can and can’t I eat? How about drinks? Do I need vaccines?
All general India travel questions are answered on India 101.
Do we need to rent a car?
We absolutely do not recommend renting a car in India. Plan on hiring private drivers throughout your trip. In BOM/Pune area. In other parts of the country, check out well-reviewed travel companies on TripAdvisor or Viator, those are usually our go tos.
Will meals be provided?
Yes! Indian weddings are a big feast. All meals except for breakfast on 10/27 are provided, although if you are staying at our hotel block in Pune on 10/26 or prior, the block reservation includes breakfast.
