Travel Details

We understand traveling across the world can be a difficult thing to organize! On this page you’ll find all the information you need to plan your trip to India and our wedding. If you’d like to sign up for Whatsapp reminders from us regarding planning and booking timelines, sign up below (recommended).

Flights

  • BOM (Mumbai airport) is the closest, largest international airport relative to the wedding. It is a 3-4 hour drive from Pune/the wedding by car.

  • Pune has an airport (PNQ), but it only connects through other Asian countries or Delhi’s Air India flight from the East Coast. It is a ~1 hour drive from Pune/the wedding. PNQ is only recommended if you’re traveling from elsewhere in Asia.

  • Qatar Airways Friday 8:00pm EST —> Sunday 3:00am EST (times approx.) flight is a decent and frequently used option from the East Coast that’s a good way to not take time off on Friday.

  • We recommend aiming to land on Sunday October 26th (or prior) in Mumbai if you’re coming from the US.

  • We understand it’s tough to schedule travel with work and life schedules, so if a 27th arrival makes the most sense, you’ll want to head directly to the resort venue. We will link cab driver contacts for BOM & Pune transfers soon.

  • The only direct flight from the East Coast to India (Mumbai or Delhi) is offered from Air India, which tends to use older planes. We fly Air India often due to convenience, but it may not be the most comfortable option. We don’t recommend this for a variety of reasons, especially if this is your first long trip to Asia.

  • We recommend booking your flights now to around 6 months in advance! The pricing will be best.

  • Feel free to directly message Apurva, or Nick for advice before booking, especially if you’re thinking of flying Air India from the US!

Transportation

  • We do not recommend taking public transport in most places in India.

  • Up in the Himalayas, the trains can be less chaotic and a fun experience, but besides that, plan on hiring private drivers your entire trip.

  • Uber rickshaw or Uber is a reliable option for local transport within most cities. In Pune specifically, the metro is safe and user friendly if you want to get around the city.

  • If you are practiced at driving in India, and would like to drive yourself, there is parking at the resort. Road’s a little bumpy though, so make sure your tires can handle it.

  • We’ll provide transport from Pune to/from the wedding on 10/27 and 10/29. We’ll also provide transport to Mumbai after the wedding on 10/29.

  • If you have intricate travel plans within India and Pune area, we recommend booking your own transport. For details on provided transport, and drivers to hire in Bombay and Pune, check out the Cab & Airport Transfer page.
