Tips for Traveling from Mumbai to Ahmedabad

  • Book in advance: Trains and flights fill up around festivals such as Diwali and Navratri, and train tickets can sell out weeks ahead.
  • Check the station: Trains leave from Mumbai Central or Bandra Terminus, so confirm which one your ticket names before you head out.
  • Airport traffic: Mumbai's roads are unpredictable. Leave early for the airport, even for a short flight.
  • Bring food and water: Carry a bottle of water and a few snacks for the longer train rides.
  • Expect the heat: Ahmedabad can be hotter and drier than Mumbai, so an air-conditioned train or a flight is the comfortable choice in summer.
