IndiGo is the only airline on this non-stop, typically flying it once a day. The route has run since the early weeks of Navi Mumbai airport, which opened on 25 Dec, 2025. As with other NMI routes, schedules have changed between seasons, so confirm your date before planning onward travel to Udupi or the temple towns. On FlightGPT you can search the flight alongside one-stop options; it compares fares and sends you to IndiGo or a travel partner to book.
NMI is at Ulwe, within easy reach of Panvel, Kharghar, Belapur, Seawoods and Nerul. From South Mumbai use the Atal Setu; from Chembur and Ghatkopar, the Vashi bridge and Sion–Panvel highway. Rail and metro connections are still being built, so plan on a cab or a drop. Get to the terminal about 90 minutes before departure, and if it is your first time at NMI, add a little more time to find the correct entry gate and IndiGo check-in area.
Mangalore International Airport is at Bajpe, about 13 km north-east of Mangaluru. Its two runways are tabletop runways on a plateau, a feature shared in India only with Kozhikode and Lengpui. Approaches are routine, but monsoon rain from June to September can bring delays. Prepaid taxis and app cabs take 30–45 minutes to the city centre; for Udupi and Manipal, allow about 1.5 hours. Book a pickup for late arrivals, as Bajpe is outside the city and quieter at night. Pre-paid taxi counters inside the arrivals hall list fixed fares to the main city areas, which avoids haggling after a late landing.
Many passengers on this flight are visiting temples:
Hire a car for the day; buses run but take longer. Dress conservatively at temples, and men may need to remove shirts at some sanctums.
Mangaluru is worth a stay in its own right. Panambur and Tannirbhavi beaches are close to the city, and St Aloysius Chapel has painted walls and ceilings. The food is the highlight: kori rotti, neer dosa with fish curry, Mangalore buns and the famous ice-cream parlours on the main roads. From about November to March, the Kambala buffalo races take place in paddy fields across Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts; dates are published locally each season. Malpe beach and St Mary's Island near Udupi make an easy day trip.
IndiGo's domestic economy fares include 15 kg check-in and a 7 kg cabin bag with a small personal item. Hand-baggage-only fares drop the check-in allowance. Temple visitors carrying flowers, kumkum or other pooja items should pack them in checked baggage; camphor is not allowed on board. Keep liquids over 100 ml in the hold. If you plan to bring back cashews, spices or fish pickles, leave space or pre-book extra kilos for the return flight.
Southbound demand rises before Mangaluru Dasara and Navratri (September–October), Deepavali, Christmas and the April–May summer holidays, when Mumbai-based families head home. The Kambala and temple-festival season from November to March brings visitors. The monsoon, June to September, is the quietest for tourists but busy for families visiting during school breaks. For the return leg and Bajpe departure tips, see the Mangalore to Navi Mumbai guide.
If the non-stop is full, consider a one-stop via Bengaluru or Hyderabad. Kannur, about 150 km south, has its own IndiGo non-stop from NMI and suits travellers heading to Kasaragod. The Konkan Railway from Panvel to Mangaluru is a dependable overnight choice and stops at Udupi along the way.
Mangaluru's city buses are cheap and frequent, run mostly by private operators, and they cover Hampankatta, Kankanady, Lalbagh and the beaches. App cabs and autos are widely available in the city. For temple circuits or Udupi, hiring a car with a driver for the day is the most practical option, since sites are spread out and rural roads are narrow. Manipal and Udupi have plenty of hotels in every range; Mangaluru's central areas suit business travellers and food lovers. In the monsoon, carry an umbrella and quick-dry footwear: the coast sees some of the heaviest rain in India from June to September.
