This guide does not give a flight ticket price from Delhi to Dubai, because our sources hold no fares for that route. It covers Delhi to Junagadh instead: about 1,327 km, roughly 22 hours by road via the Udaipur to Ahmedabad highway, with flights to Rajkot, Diu or Ahmedabad as common alternatives.

If you are flying from Delhi to India's west coast for the first time, the question is rarely just the fare. It is how many hours you want in a car after landing, and which gateway city makes sense. This guide sets out what our sources confirm for the Delhi to Gujarat trip, and where they stay silent.

Flight ticket price from Delhi to Dubai: what this guide can and cannot confirm

We have no verified fare for a flight ticket price from Delhi to Dubai, so we are not publishing one. Fares on that route change by season, booking window and airline, and any figure quoted without a current source would be guesswork.

For the Dubai leg, check the airline's own site or a fare comparison tool on the date you plan to travel. For the Gujarat leg described below, the sources give distance and route options only, not airfares, so the cost column in the comparison is marked as not stated.

How far Delhi is from Junagadh by road

Delhi to Junagadh is about 1,327 km, and the drive takes around 22 hours by road via the Udaipur to Ahmedabad highway. That route crosses Rajasthan and then Gujarat, so most of the distance is highway driving through long, flat stretches where progress feels slower than the map suggests.

Twenty-two hours of continuous driving is a full working day behind the wheel, before any stops for food, fuel or rest. Unless you have a driver who can take turns, plan an overnight stop somewhere around the Rajasthan and Gujarat border rather than attempting it in one go. Arriving tired at a temple town late at night is a poor start to a pilgrimage.

If your plans include the mountain, note that Delhi to Girnar is about 1,331 km and also around 22 hours by road via the same highway. For the full road picture to the hill, see Delhi to Girnar Distance: Flight, Train & Road.

Comparing your travel options from Delhi

Our sources confirm three broad ways to reach Junagadh from Delhi. The table below lists them, with times and costs only where a source states them.

The flight and road combination trades hours in a car for a transfer on arrival. You lose the freedom of starting when you like, and you must arrange a cab or hired car from the airport or station. In return, you avoid most of a day's highway driving, which is usually the better deal for anyone with limited leave or a tight itinerary. For the detail of each route, see full route detail for the Junagadh drive.

Gateways and what to do after landing

Most travellers use Rajkot, Diu or Ahmedabad as their air gateway, then continue by road. Ahmedabad is the most common entry point for visitors who want to build a wider Gujarat itinerary, because both flights and trains run there from Delhi.

From Ahmedabad, you can pick up a Gujarat circuit rather than making a single long drive towards the coast. Sources describe this as the usual approach for Delhi travellers, and it suits a trip that includes Junagadh, Diu and the temple towns. If you are continuing west to the Dwarkadhish temple, the road, train and flight options are set out in road, train and flight options to Dwarka.

Reaching Diu and the coast

Delhi to Diu is about 1,361 km, around 22 hours by road via the same Udaipur to Ahmedabad highway. Because the coast is so far, most travellers prefer to fly into Diu, Rajkot or Ahmedabad rather than drive the whole way.

Another option is a train to Veraval, then a drive on to Diu. This splits the journey between rail and road, and it works well if you want to see Somnath on the way. The route details for Diu are on the Somnathdwarkatourpackage guide to Delhi to Diu, which you can use as a planning reference.

Girnar Ropeway and the climb

The Girnar Ropeway carries pilgrims from Bhavnath Taleti to Ambaji Temple in about 7 to 10 minutes, saving around 5,000 steps. For anyone who cannot manage the climb, or who wants to save energy for darshan, it is a practical choice. Sources give the fare as about Rs 700 two-way or Rs 400 one-way for adults, plus GST, but confirm the current rate before you travel.

The ropeway runs daily from about 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Plan to arrive at the lower station well before the last ride, because a late start can leave you with no way up or down before closing. Check timings the same week you travel, since operating windows can change. For tickets, booking and tips, see the Girnar Ropeway ticket price, booking and tips.

Gir safari timing as a stop

The Gir safari season runs from 16 October to 15 June. Safaris run in morning and evening shifts of about 3 hours each. If you plan a stop at the park, time it inside that season and build in a day when you are not also doing a long drive.

Sources put a Sasan Gir jeep at roughly ₹6,000 to ₹7,700 per jeep for Indian citizens and about ₹16,500 to ₹18,700 for foreign nationals, including permit, gypsy, driver and guide. Prices are set by the forest department and change, so confirm the current tariff on the official portal and book early, especially for the morning shift. Follow forest rules during the drive: stay in the vehicle, keep voices low and do not leave the designated route.

Best option for a first-time international visitor

For a first trip, fly into Ahmedabad or Rajkot and arrange a road transfer. This keeps the long driving days to a minimum and lets you start the coast or hill section fresh. It also gives you a clear point to arrange a reliable hired car, which matters more for a foreign visitor who is unfamiliar with local roads.

Allow extra days for the ropeway and temple darshan, because opening hours are fixed and a missed window can cost you half a day. Keep your itinerary loose enough to absorb one delay. If you are weighing a fully arranged trip across Gujarat rather than building the route yourself, the planning resource for road, train and flight routes to Somnath sets out the options in one place.
