How to Reach Kedarnath from Pune — Complete Travel Guide

Option 1: By Flight (Fastest)

Your journey starts at Pune Airport (PNQ)

Which Airport Should You Choose?

Our Recommendation — Dehradun Airport is better. You land closer to Haridwar, less road travel, and you reach fresher and earlier. Worth the slightly higher ticket price.

Tips for Booking Your Flight

• Book at least 3–4 weeks in advance — prices go up fast closer to the date
• Tuesday is typically the cheapest day to depart
