Reaching Haridwar by air can be a bit indirect, as the city itself does not have a major commercial airport. Travelers often find it most convenient to fly into nearby airports and then travel overland. From experience, planning ahead for ground transportation ensures a smoother journey to this spiritual city nestled along the Ganges River.

Direct Flights

Currently, there are no direct commercial flights to Haridwar. The nearest major airports serve as gateways, with subsequent overland travel being the most practical option.
