Rao Jodha Airport (JDH) in Jodhpur handles domestic IndiGo and Air India routes; there are no international departures. The most common path to Tehran is flying JDH–DEL (≈ 1h 30m), then connecting at Indira Gandhi International to a Delhi–Tehran (IKA) service. Mahan Air and Iran Air both operate on this route, typically with 2–4 weekly flights. An alternative via Muscat exists — Oman Air flies Jodhpur-adjacent origin points, though JDH itself may require connecting to Mumbai or Delhi first. Plan for a minimum 3-hour connection at DEL between the domestic arrival and the international Tehran departure.
Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) is the city's main international gateway, located about 35–40 km south of central Tehran. Arriving passengers clear Iranian immigration here; the process can be thorough and sometimes takes 30–60 minutes. Keep your hotel booking confirmation and itinerary printed or easily accessible. A second airport, Mehrabad (THR), handles domestic Iranian flights and some international charters — confirm which airport your flight uses when booking. From IKA, taxis and pre-booked transfers to central Tehran take ≈ 45–60 minutes (≈ IRR 2,000,000–3,000,000 or approximately USD 5–8 at unofficial rates).
Breaking down the sectors: JDH–DEL is ≈ 1h 30m. IndiGo typically runs the morning departure from Jodhpur, landing at DEL's T1 (domestic). You then need to transit to T3 (international) — budget at least 60–90 minutes for this transfer by shuttle bus or the AeroCity connector. The DEL–IKA direct segment is ≈ 3h 30m flying time on Iran Air or Mahan Air. Add the DEL layover (3+ hours recommended) and total elapsed time runs 9–11 hours. If the transit goes smoothly, you can be in Tehran in under 10 hours from Jodhpur, but do not plan tight connections at Delhi.
As of June 2026, the JDH–DEL domestic leg on IndiGo costs roughly ₹1,500–₹3,500 one way depending on booking lead time. The DEL–IKA–DEL international return on Mahan Air or Iran Air averages ₹20,000–₹35,000 in economy. Combined, a Jodhpur–Tehran return trip typically falls in the ₹25,000–₹42,000 range. Note that international financial sanctions on Iran mean that card payments may not work for booking Iranian airlines directly — use a consolidator or travel agent familiar with Iran ticketing. Mahan Air sometimes sells via agents in India more readily than online.
Indian passport holders require a visa to enter Iran — there is no visa-on-arrival for Indian nationals at IKA under standard circumstances (this differs from some EU nationals). You must apply for an Iranian tourist visa in advance, either through the Iranian embassy in New Delhi or via an authorisation code from an Iranian travel agency, which is then used to collect the visa on arrival. The process typically takes 2–4 weeks. A tourist visa is generally issued for 30 days, single entry. Religious pilgrims visiting Mashhad or Qom sometimes enter via group pilgrimage visas. Confirm current requirements at /visas and with the Iranian Embassy before booking, as rules and processing times can shift.
IndiGo's JDH–DEL domestic sector in standard economy includes 15 kg check-in; larger allowances (20–30 kg) are available at booking for ₹500–₹1,500 extra. Iran Air economy on DEL–IKA typically allows 20–23 kg. If you are on separate tickets (which is usually the case on this route given the lack of code-shares), you must collect and re-check luggage at Delhi — ensure both tickets' allowances are compatible with what you are carrying. As of June 2026, it is cheaper to purchase extra IndiGo baggage at booking time rather than paying at the airport. Keep originals of all travel documents accessible throughout the journey.
Tehran is a sprawling metropolis at the foot of the Alborz Mountains, with peak elevations visible from the city over 4,000 m. Spring (March–May, Nowruz and after) and autumn (September–October) are the most pleasant times to visit — temperatures are mild (15–25°C) and the mountain air is clear. Summers can be hot (35°C+) and polluted in the city centre. Tehran's highlights include the Grand Bazaar, the National Museum of Iran, the opulent Golestan Palace, and the ski resorts of Tochal and Dizin within 60–90 minutes of the city. The cuisine — particularly Dizi (lamb stew) and Ghormeh Sabzi — is exceptional. Iran uses the Rial (IRR); carry USD or EUR to exchange locally.
No. Rao Jodha Airport (JDH) is a domestic airport. You must connect via Delhi (DEL) — IndiGo flies JDH–DEL in ≈ 1h 30m — and then take an international flight to Tehran (IKA) on Iran Air or Mahan Air.
Mahan Air and Iran Air both operate the Delhi–Tehran (IKA) route, typically 2–4 flights per week. Flight time is ≈ 3h 30m non-stop. Check current schedules with a travel agent as availability fluctuates.
As of June 2026, the full round-trip including the JDH–DEL domestic leg (≈ ₹3,000–₹7,000 return) and the DEL–IKA–DEL international segment (≈ ₹20,000–₹35,000 return) typically comes to ₹25,000–₹42,000 total.
Yes. Indian passport holders must obtain an Iranian tourist visa in advance. Apply at the Iranian embassy in New Delhi or via an authorisation code from an Iranian agency (used to collect on arrival). The process takes 2–4 weeks; visit /visas for current details.
IKA is Tehran's main international airport, located ≈ 35–40 km south of the city. Most international flights including those from India land here. A taxi to central Tehran from IKA takes ≈ 45–60 minutes.
Tehran is 2 hours behind India — when it is noon IST in Jodhpur, it is 10:00 AM in Tehran (Iran Standard Time UTC+3:30). In Iran's daylight saving period (March–September), the difference narrows to 1h 30m.
