Ahmedabad : With summer in full swing and summer break just around the corner, a trip to the mountains is a great way to cool off. A well-connected airport in Ahmedabad would make it easier for citizens to arrange a summer getaway to a cooler climate.

With the support of airlines, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport has been working to expand service to more locations and more frequently provide passengers’ top choices. There is a direct flight to Dehradun from Ahmedabad every day, making it convenient for those planning to visit both the city itself and other mountain towns like Massoorie and Rishikesh in Uttarakhand.

Vaishondevi is more accessible than ever thanks to nonstop flights to Jammu; once there, visitors can easily continue their travels to Himachal Pradesh or Kashmir. Jammu is ideally situated for day trips to Dalhousie, Dharmshala, and the rest of Himachal Pradesh. Ahmedabad airport also has flights to Amritsar and Chandigarh, enhancing connectivity for travellers heading to Himachal Pradesh. Dalhousie, Dharmshala, Solang, Manali, and Shimla are just a few of the popular tourist destinations in Himachal Pradesh. Fly to Amritsar, Jammu, or Chandigarh and then drive or ride a motorbike to Srinagar or Leh via Manali or Jammu for some further exploration. In June, there will likely be direct flights to Srinagar. The city is currently linked to Srinagar, known as “Heaven on earth,” via the city of Chandigarh.

Travelers interested in spending as much time as possible in Jim Corbett National Park can take a direct flight from Jaipur to Pantnagar. It is very easy to get to Nainital and other parts of Uttarakhand from Pantnagar.

Popular mountain resorts in the east of the country are easily accessible from Ahmedabad. With a direct flight to Bagdogra, visiting Darjeeling, Gangtok, or Kalimpong is much more convenient. Assam serves as the entry point to India’s Seven Sister States, and with four weekly flights to Dibrugarh via Delhi and a daily flight to Guwahati via Delhi, it is easily accessible.

The southern wildlife and hill stations are also easily accessible from Ahmedabad. From Coimbatore, you can travel to Ooty, known as the “Queen of Hill Stations,” or to Bandipur National Park, where more than 120 tigers roam over 800 square kilometres. Not far from Chennai is the Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary.

For shorter trips one can plan to visit Lonavala and Khandala by flying to Pune. Belgaum, known as Bamboo Village, is well-connected with daily flight. One can easily visit Pench National Park – one of the premier tiger reserves of India, and Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve – Maharashtra’s oldest and largest national park, by flying down to Nagpur from Ahmedabad.

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is committed to enhancing the city’s air connectivity, currently operating over 240 flights daily and catering to over 31000 passengers on an average daily basis. In continuous efforts to strengthen connectivity from Ahmedabad airport, as per the new summer schedule, the airport will connect Ahmedabad to 39 domestic and 19 international destinations with nine domestic and 17 international airline carriers.
