Both ends of this flight are young. Ayodhya's airport was inaugurated on 30 Dec, 2023, weeks before the Ram Mandir consecration, and Navi Mumbai International Airport took its first commercial flight on 25 Dec, 2025. IndiGo added the Navi Mumbai–Ayodhya non-stop when it launched more than 30 routes from NMI at the end of March 2026. That makes it a convenient alternative to flying from Mumbai's older airport, especially if you live east of the harbour. Because the route is new and run by one airline, there is no long track record of timings to rely on. Confirm the departure time on your date and recheck it a few days before you fly, since IndiGo is reworking its Navi Mumbai schedule from 25 Oct, 2026.
Navi Mumbai airport sits at Ulwe in Raigad district, about 35 km from the older Mumbai airport. Rough guides for planning the ride:
A metro link to the terminal is planned but not yet open, so a cab or private car is the realistic choice. Give yourself a buffer in monsoon months.
IndiGo allows 15 kg of check-in baggage and a 7 kg cabin bag per passenger on domestic economy, plus one small personal item. A two- or three-day temple visit rarely needs more, but families carrying offerings, puja items or gifts for relatives in Uttar Pradesh should weigh bags at home. Coconuts, ghee and liquids above 100 ml must go in checked baggage. Keep medicines, ID and phone chargers in the cabin bag. Infants travelling on a lap get a separate, smaller allowance under IndiGo's rules, so check before packing a second suitcase for the child. If you plan to bring back souvenirs, leave a few kilos spare for the return flight.
Maharshi Valmiki airport is on the south-west side of Ayodhya, and the ride to the Ram Mandir and Hanuman Garhi area usually takes 20–30 minutes in normal traffic. The temple does not allow mobile phones, bags or electronics inside, and there are cloakroom and locker facilities near the entry, so plan to drop luggage at your hotel first. Darshan timings and pass systems change, so check the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust's official announcements before you go. Most visitors combine the Ram Mandir with Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan and the evening aarti on the Saryu ghats. A two-night stay is comfortable; a same-day return is possible only if the flight timings line up on your date.
Fares and availability on this route track Hindu festival dates. Ram Navami (March or April) and Deepotsav on the eve of Diwali, which falls on 8 Nov, 2026, are the sharpest peaks, with the Ayodhya ghats lit with lakhs of diyas. January brings anniversary crowds at the Ram Mandir and frequent fog in Uttar Pradesh, which can delay arrivals. Mumbai-side holidays matter too: Ganesh Chaturthi in late summer and the May–June school break push up demand from Maharashtra families. Since only IndiGo flies non-stop, booking several weeks ahead for these windows is sensible. Outside the peaks, the monsoon months from July to September tend to be quieter.
If the Navi Mumbai non-stop does not suit your date, compare these on FlightGPT. Mumbai's older airport (BOM) offers many one-stop options to Ayodhya via Delhi, Bengaluru or Hyderabad. Lucknow, about 135 km from Ayodhya by road, has far more flights from both Mumbai airports, and taxis cover the drive in roughly three hours on the expressway network. Varanasi is another option for a combined Kashi–Ayodhya trip, around 200 km away. When building your own connection, keep it on one ticket where possible so a delay on the first leg is the airline's problem, not yours.
Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure on IndiGo. NMI is a new terminal, so arrive at least 90 minutes before a domestic departure until you know how long security takes on your day. Carry an original government ID such as Aadhaar, a passport or a driving licence; DigiYatra face boarding can help at airports where it is live. At Ayodhya, the terminal is small and arrivals are quick, but taxis can be scarce when a few flights land together on festival days, so pre-arranging a pickup through your hotel is worth it. For the return trip, see our Ayodhya to Navi Mumbai guide.
Yes. IndiGo flies non-stop from Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI) to Ayodhya's Maharshi Valmiki International Airport (AYJ), a route added in late March 2026. It usually runs about once a day; confirm your date because IndiGo's Navi Mumbai schedule changes from 25 Oct, 2026.
IndiGo's Navi Mumbai to Ayodhya non-stop takes about 2 hours 15 minutes for roughly 1,268 km. Allow another 20–30 minutes from Ayodhya airport to the Ram Mandir area by road.
IndiGo is the only airline flying Navi Mumbai to Ayodhya non-stop. Air India Express and Akasa Air fly from NMI too, but not to Ayodhya, so with them you would need a connection via Delhi or Bengaluru.
Navi Mumbai International Airport is at Ulwe, about 35 km from Mumbai's older Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj airport. From South Mumbai the quickest road route is usually the Atal Setu sea bridge; from Panvel and Kharghar it is a short cab ride.
For lighter crowds, fly Navi Mumbai to Ayodhya between July and September or in February. Avoid Ram Navami, Deepotsav (the eve of Diwali on 8 Nov, 2026) and late January if you want easier seat availability on IndiGo's single non-stop.
Yes, you can search flights from Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj airport (BOM) to Ayodhya on FlightGPT, but many options connect via Delhi or Bengaluru. From NMI, IndiGo's Navi Mumbai to Ayodhya non-stop is usually the simpler choice for travellers living in Navi Mumbai, Thane or Panvel.

Most travellers prefer the Navi Mumbai to Ayodhya non-stop option. The direct Navi Mumbai-Ayodhya flight time is ≈ 2h 15m.

Expect Navi Mumbai–Ayodhya fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service IndiGo ticket once you add a bag and a seat. FlightGPT shows the all-in price for each option, so you're comparing like for like rather than misleading lead-in fares.
