Flying in for Mahakal darshan? These packages start when your flight lands. Ujjain has no commercial airport, so every package is built around Indore’s Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport (IDR), about 55β60 km and 1β1.5 hours by road from Ujjain. You book your flight to Indore; we meet you at arrivals, drive you to Ujjain, handle the stay and darshan, and drop you back in time for your return flight.
How a fly-in package works
