 Indian Airlines and Jet Airways
provide regular flights to Pune from Delhi, four flights a week to Chennai and
Bangalore and two to three flights daily from Mumbai. Pune city is 12 kms from
the Pune Airport. |
The easiest way to travel from Mumbai to Pune is by train. Regular trains -
Deccan Queen, Deccan Express, Indrayani, Pragati and Shatabdi all ply to Pune
from Mumbai everyday. Bookings are possible two weeks in advance. Train travel
is around 4-5 hours. On the way, the trains climb the Western Ghats and afford
a splendid view of this green mountainous region. During the monsoon, one can
enjoy the sight of huge waterfalls. Most of the trains have a small halt
at monkey hill - where both children and adults can feed friendly monkeys. The
trains also halt at Lonavala, Khandala and Karjat (known for its delicious
fried potato wadas). |
Pune is easily accessible by bus from any of the major cities of Maharashtra.
From Mumbai, regular MSRTC buses and private buses ply to Pune. The bus route
also flows through the Western Ghats. Long distance share taxis ply from Mumbai
(Dadar) regularly. There is a fixed rate of charge. |
