Travel tips

  • Book pre-paid taxis from the authorised counter inside the terminal to avoid overcharging, especially during peak Kumbh Mela periods.
  • The airport is located within an Indian Air Force base; carry a valid government-issued photo ID at all times, as security checks at the entry gate are mandatory.
  • During the Nashik Kumbh Mela (Simhastha), flights and hotels book up months in advance — plan and reserve early.
  • The nearest wine country (Sula Vineyards) is just 15 km away and makes for an excellent short detour if you have a few hours before your flight.
  • Nashik's climate is mild year-round, but carry a light jacket if travelling between November and January as evenings can be cool at this elevation.
  • Check your airline's baggage allowance carefully; smaller aircraft operating UDAN routes may have stricter weight restrictions than mainline carriers.

Development: Nashik Airport is earmarked for significant expansion under the AAI's modernisation programme, including a new integrated terminal building with enhanced capacity to handle rising passenger volumes and potential international charter operations. The airport has also benefited from UDAN regional connectivity scheme routes, with plans to add further Tier-2 and Tier-3 city connections in the coming years.
