FAQs
What airport should I fly into?
BOM or PNQ depending on where you’re coming from. See the travel details for more details 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 27-29th. 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?
Check out the travel details page for more info! We’ll provide transport from the Pune hotel block to the venue on 10/27 at approx. 11:00am, and back to Pune & PNQ on 10/29 at approx. 11:00am. If you can’t make the provided transport times/locations, we’ll link some cab driver contacts that you can book yourself. All guests should plan on arranging their own transport between BOM/Pune whether it’s pre or post wedding though. Contacts to come!
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.
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, we’ll have recs. 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. Snacks, chai/refreshments & meals will be available during all organized events. On 10/27, you’ll be “on your own” for breakfast/brunch (no planned events at that time), but breakfast is included in the hotel block price we’ve organized for our guests. All other meals are planned at set times. Plan on eating a heavy breakfast/brunch on the 27th morning because we will be busy traveling to the venue & checking in around lunch time.
