Before take-off at Bilasa Devi Kevat Airport
Bilaspur's airport is at Chakarbhatha, roughly 10 km from the city centre and about 20–30 minutes by car from Bilaspur Junction. It is a small terminal with few flights a day, so lines are short, but there is little in the way of food or shops. For a 10 am departure, leaving the city around 8:30 am is comfortable. Book your taxi the night before, as cabs are not always available on demand in Bilaspur. Travellers from Korba, Janjgir-Champa or Mungeli often find this airport more convenient than driving two to three hours to Raipur.
Jabalpur's marble rocks and tiger reserves
For leisure travellers, Jabalpur is a useful gateway. Popular plans include:
- Bhedaghat, about 25 km from the city, for a boat ride through the Narmada's marble gorge and the Dhuandhar falls.
- Kanha Tiger Reserve, whose Khatia and Mukki gates are around four hours by road.
- Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, roughly four to five hours away.
- Madan Mahal fort and the Chausath Yogini temple near Bhedaghat.
A late-morning arrival from Bilaspur gives you time for Bhedaghat the same afternoon, then an early start for a park the following day. Safari permits for Kanha and Bandhavgarh sell out in peak season, so book them before your flight.
Dumna to the city: arriving in Jabalpur
Jabalpur Airport sits at Dumna, about 20 km east of the city, and has a newer, larger terminal. App cabs and taxis are available, though less plentiful than at a metro airport. The drive to Napier Town, Civil Lines, Wright Town or the railway station takes about 35–45 minutes. If you are heading straight to Bhedaghat, it is on the city's south-western side, so allow around an hour from the airport. For Kanha or Bandhavgarh, most lodges arrange airport pick-ups, which is easier than finding an outstation taxi on arrival.
Onward from Jabalpur to Delhi, Mumbai and beyond
Jabalpur has more jet services than Bilaspur, so some passengers use this flight to reach a wider network. IndiGo and Air India connect Jabalpur with major cities including Delhi, with routes varying by season. If you book a connection on a separate ticket, you will need to collect your bags and check in again, so allow at least three hours between the Alliance Air arrival and your next flight. Alternatively, compare a direct trip from Raipur, which has more metro departures and is about 120 km by road from Bilaspur. Search both options on FlightGPT for your date.
Packing for Alliance Air's turboprop
Alliance Air domestic economy fares normally include 15 kg of checked baggage. On the ATR 72, cabin space is tight and the cabin allowance is smaller than on jets; your e-ticket shows the exact limit. Wildlife photographers heading for Kanha or Bandhavgarh should think carefully: long lenses and camera bodies are best carried in a compact padded bag that fits under the seat, with tripods checked in. Large trolley bags may be tagged at the aircraft steps. Excess baggage is charged per kilogram and can be refused on weight-limited flights.
Safari season, court calendars and festival rushes
Demand on Bilaspur–Jabalpur follows a few calendars at once. The tiger reserves open for the main season from mid-October to June, with the core zones closed in the monsoon, so October to March sees more leisure travellers. Court reopening weeks bring lawyers and litigants. Diwali, Chhath and the winter wedding season raise family travel. Jabalpur can see fog on December and January mornings, which may delay arrivals. With only around 70 seats on each of two weekly flights, search early for any fixed date.
Train or road if you cannot fly
If the weekend flights do not suit your plans, daily trains run from Bilaspur to Jabalpur via Shahdol and Katni, usually taking seven hours or more; overnight trains let you arrive in the morning. By road, the route through Mandla takes around six to seven hours and passes close to Kanha, which suits safari-goers who want to visit the park before reaching Jabalpur. For the flight back to Chhattisgarh, see the Jabalpur to Bilaspur page.
