Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Nashik?

There is no scheduled non-stop flight between Mumbai and Nashik, and that is unlikely to change — the two cities are only about 165 km apart by road. At that distance a flight makes no sense: by the time you account for reaching Mumbai airport, security, boarding and the drive from Nashik's Ozar airport into town, you would be slower than simply driving. The practical options are road or rail, both of which deliver you closer to the centre of Nashik than the airport does.
Nashik is served by Ozar Airport (ISK), around 20 km from the city. In 2026 it carries a thin schedule — a handful of non-stops to cities such as Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Goa, operated mainly by IndiGo, and even those have come and gone over the years. Crucially, there is no Mumbai service, because the short hop is uneconomic for airlines to fly. Ozar is therefore relevant only if you are coming to Nashik from a distant city, not from Mumbai.
Since this is a road or rail journey rather than a flight, "booking" is about timing your travel and reserving a train seat. Weekends and the Sula Fest / harvest season (around the cooler months) see heavier traffic and fuller trains, so plan ahead for those.
| Period | Demand | Travel tendency |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb | High (wine season, pleasant weather) | Book trains early; expect weekend road traffic |
| Mar–May | Moderate | Hot but quieter; easy seats |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Moderate | Green ghats but slower, slippery driving |
| Long weekends & festivals | Very high | Reserve rail well ahead |
Train fares are fixed by class; road cost depends on fuel and tolls. There are no air fares to quote on this sector.
For the cheapest trip, the train usually wins — a reserved seat from Mumbai to Nashik Road costs a fraction of a private taxi. Sharing a cab or self-driving spreads the cost over a group. If you are set on flying into Nashik from a distant city, book Ozar's limited flights early, as low capacity means fares climb fast once seats fill.
By road, leave Mumbai before 6 am or after the morning rush to clear Thane and the Kasara Ghat without crawling traffic — the ghat section slows everyone down. By train, several daily services run from Mumbai CSMT and Dadar to Nashik Road; early-morning and overnight departures are popular and worth reserving in advance. Avoid Friday evenings outbound and Sunday evenings inbound, when the highway is busiest.
Business travellers: a chauffeured cab door-to-door is the most reliable for meetings; budget around 4 hours plus traffic. Families & wine-country visitors: self-drive or a hired car gives you the freedom to stop at the Sula and York vineyards and Trimbakeshwar. Students & budget travellers: the reserved train is the cheapest and most predictable, dropping you at Nashik Road with onward autos into the city.
If your wider trip involves flying, note Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM) splits across two terminals: T1 handles low-cost domestic carriers, while T2 handles full-service domestic and all international flights. Nashik's Ozar (ISK) is a small single-terminal airport with no Mumbai link. For a Mumbai–Nashik leg specifically, neither airport is the right tool — go by surface transport.
In Mumbai, Mumbai CSMT and Dadar are the main boarding points for Nashik trains, both well served by suburban rail, metro and app cabs. In Nashik, trains arrive at Nashik Road station, about 8 km from the city centre and the Panchavati area; autos and app cabs cover the last stretch. If driving, the Mumbai–Nashik Highway (NH160) is the direct route via Thane and the Kasara Ghat.
By road or rail you are not bound by airline baggage limits, which is a genuine advantage if you are bringing back wine, produce or festival shopping from Nashik. If any leg of your wider trip is by air, remember that alcohol carriage has limits — check the airline's rules before packing bottles in checked or cabin bags. For reference on a typical carrier, see IndiGo baggage.
Nashik sits on a plateau and is noticeably cooler than Mumbai, especially in winter evenings — carry a light layer. The monsoon (June–September) turns the Kasara Ghat lush but slows driving and can trigger landslip closures, so check road conditions before setting out. The cooler October–February window is the best time for the vineyards, Trimbakeshwar and Panchavati.
Do not waste time hunting for a Mumbai–Nashik flight — there isn't one worth taking. Use FlightGPT to plan air travel for the longer legs of your trip (say flying into Mumbai from elsewhere), then cover the Mumbai–Nashik hop by train or car. It is faster, cheaper and drops you closer to where you actually want to be.
No. There is no scheduled non-stop flight between Mumbai and Nashik. At about 165 km apart, the route is too short to fly economically, so travellers go by road or rail.
Roughly 165 km by road via the Mumbai–Nashik Highway (NH160), typically about 4 hours of driving depending on traffic at Thane and the Kasara Ghat.
Yes, Ozar Airport (ISK), about 20 km from the city. It carries a thin schedule to distant cities like Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Goa, but has no Mumbai service.
IndiGo is the main scheduled operator at Ozar in 2026, on a small number of long-haul domestic routes. The schedule has fluctuated over the years and does not include Mumbai.
Road or rail. A reserved train from Mumbai CSMT or Dadar to Nashik Road is the cheapest and most predictable; a private cab is the most flexible, taking around 4 hours.
Most services cover Mumbai to Nashik Road in roughly 4 to 5 hours. Several run daily, and it is worth reserving a seat in advance, especially on weekends.
Yes. If you are coming from a city Ozar serves, such as Delhi or Hyderabad, you can fly into ISK directly. Book early, as capacity is low and fares rise quickly once seats fill.
The route is driveable in the monsoon, but the Kasara Ghat gets slippery and visibility drops. Drive cautiously, allow extra time, and check for any ghat closures after heavy rain.
None special for road or rail travel within India, though carrying a government photo ID is sensible. If any leg of your trip is by air, you will need a valid photo ID matching your ticket.
Nashik is famous for its vineyards and wine country (Sula, York), the temple town of Trimbakeshwar, the Panchavati pilgrimage area, and as a host city for the Kumbh Mela.
For any air leg of your wider trip, yes — DGCA rules entitle you to a full refund or free re-booking if the airline cancels. This applies to flights into Ozar, not to the road or rail Mumbai–Nashik hop.
By road or rail there is no airline limit, which is a plus. If you fly on a later leg, alcohol carriage in checked and cabin baggage is restricted, so check the airline's rules before packing bottles.
Yes, the Mumbai–Nashik Highway has toll plazas. Keep FASTag active to pass through quickly, and factor toll cost into the road option versus a fixed-price train ticket.
