Nainital Tour Package with Flight
Nainital Tour Package with Flight
Which is the best Nainital Tour Package with Flight?
A flight-inclusive Nainital Tour Package usually combines a Delhi–Pantnagar air connection with a short road transfer of about 65–72 km to Nainital, cutting a typical 7–8 hour road journey down to roughly an hour in the air plus a 2 to 2.5-hour drive. These packages generally run 3 Days / 2 Nights to 5 Days / 4 Nights and start around ₹14,999 per person on twin sharing, including return flights, stay, breakfast, and airport transfers. Because Pantnagar has limited daily flight frequency, this option suits travellers with fixed leave dates more than those chasing the cheapest fare.
Flight seats to Pantnagar are limited compared to road transport, so availability and pricing can shift depending on how far in advance you book and which season you're travelling in.
Prices are approximate and may vary depending on hotel category, transportation, itinerary, season, availability, and traveller preferences.
Introduction
Not every traveller has two full days to spare just getting to and from a hill station. For working professionals with a long weekend, senior citizens who'd rather avoid an 8-hour mountain drive, or families with young kids who don't travel well on winding roads, a flight-inclusive Nainital package solves a real problem: it buys back time.
As a Leading Uttarakhand DMC , SnazzyTrips builds these itineraries around the actual Pantnagar flight schedule rather than bolting a flight onto a standard road-trip plan. This helps align transfer timings, hotel check-ins, and sightseeing days properly with when you actually land.
Tour Highlights
Save valuable travel time with a flight-inclusive Nainital itinerary designed around Pantnagar arrivals and departures.
✈️ Delhi–Pantnagar Return Flights
Return flight connectivity between Delhi and Pantnagar, significantly reducing travel time compared with an all-road journey.
🚘 Pre-Arranged Airport Transfers
Airport pickup and drop at Pantnagar, planned around your scheduled flight arrival and departure times.
🏔️ Complete Nainital Sightseeing
Cover key attractions including Naini Lake, Mall Road, and the ropeway to Snow View Point.
⏱️ More Sightseeing Time
Use the time saved on transit to free up an additional sightseeing day during your Nainital holiday.
🌊 Optional Lake Excursions
Add optional day trips to Bhimtal or Sattal, making use of the travel time reclaimed by flying.
🗓️ Ideal for Short Breaks
Particularly suitable for short weekend breaks that may be difficult to fit comfortably into an all-road Nainital trip.
Who This Package Is For
This package is built for time-constrained travellers — a 3-day weekend for working couples, senior citizens who find long drives tiring, or families who'd rather spend an extra sightseeing day in Nainital than two days on the highway.
💡 Best for Time Savings, Not Lowest Cost: This option is less economical for large groups or budget travellers, since road transport for bigger parties usually works out cheaper than purchasing multiple flight seats.
SnazzyTrips Recommendation
✈️ Book Early for Better Flight Options. Because Pantnagar flight frequency is limited, we recommend booking this package at least 3–4 weeks ahead so both onward and return flights fall on workable days.
🚘 Consider a Hybrid Return. If your travel dates are flexible, a hybrid plan — flying in and taking a scenic road return via Kathgodam — often gives the best balance between time saved and overall cost.

How to Reach Nainital
Nainital can be reached by air, rail, or road. This package is specifically designed around the faster flight connection from Delhi to Pantnagar.
✈️ By Air — This Package's Route
Fly from Delhi (DEL) to Pantnagar (PGH), with limited daily flight frequency and a flight time of around 1 hour. From Pantnagar, Nainital is roughly 65–72 km away, requiring about a 2 to 2.5-hour road transfer, which SnazzyTrips arranges as part of this package.
🚆 By Rail — Alternative
Kathgodam, about 34–41 km from Nainital, is the nearest railway station if you prefer a train-plus-road combination instead.
🚘 By Road — Alternative
Nainital is roughly 300–320 km from Delhi via NH87, typically taking around 7–8 hours by road. This is precisely the long journey that the flight-inclusive package is designed to shorten.
About Nainital
Built around the pear-shaped Naini Lake at about 2,084 metres, Nainital remains Kumaon's most visited hill station. For travellers flying in, the shorter journey means more actual time in the hills instead of on the highway.
The extra day a flight-inclusive itinerary frees up is usually enough for a proper half-day trip to Bhimtal or Sattal, something road-only 3-day itineraries often have to skip. For other durations and travel styles, you can browse all Nainital holiday packages in our collection.
Top Places to Visit in Nainital
A flight-inclusive itinerary gives you more time to explore Nainital's key attractions, from lakeside walks and shopping streets to viewpoints and family-friendly experiences.

The centre of Nainital, ideal for a boat ride and a relaxed evening walk along the lakeside.
🛍️ Mall Road
A popular area for shopping, cafés, and local food, best explored comfortably on foot.

🛕 Naina Devi Temple
Located a short walk from Mall Road, this remains an active pilgrimage site and an easy addition to a local sightseeing route.

Best Time to Visit
Nainital is a year-round destination, but the experience changes considerably with the seasons.
☀️ Summer
Summer brings pleasant daytime weather but also the year's biggest tourist crowds.
🌧️ Monsoon
Monsoon brings lush greenery, although occasional landslide-related road delays can affect journeys. This is one area where flying in can have an advantage over a road-only trip.
❄️ Winter
Winter brings crisp cold weather and the possibility of snowfall, particularly at higher points around Nainital.
🗓️ Weekdays vs Weekends
Weekdays are consistently quieter than weekends throughout the year, regardless of the season.
Accommodation Options
Since this package is designed around saving travel time, accommodation should ideally keep you close to Nainital's main sightseeing areas.
🏨 Standard
Comfortable rooms with basic amenities, generally offering the best value for a short flight-inclusive Nainital trip.
🌄 Deluxe
Lake-view or better-located rooms, particularly useful when your itinerary is compressed and you want to minimise local transit time.
⭐ Premium
Full-service hotels with in-house dining, making them a good fit for senior travellers who would rather not step out for every meal.
💙 SnazzyTrips Recommendation: Because this package is aimed at travellers optimising for time, we generally recommend hotels closer to Mall Road and Naini Lake. This keeps sightseeing transfers short and helps you make the most of the days saved by flying.

SnazzyTrips Insights
A few practical tips can help you get the most out of a flight-inclusive Nainital trip, particularly when your itinerary is built around limited flight availability and a shorter stay.
✈️ Book Flights Early: Pantnagar has limited daily flights, so lock in your dates early rather than relying on last-minute availability.
🌧️ Monsoon Flight Buffer: Flight delays at Pantnagar can be more common during monsoon weather. If travelling then, build some extra flexibility into Day 1.
🚘 Confirm Your Flight Number: Airport pickup at Pantnagar is straightforward, but share your flight number in advance so the driver can track the actual landing time.
🌊 Lake-View Hotels: Lake-view hotels generally cost more but can save walking time to Naini Lake, which is useful when your itinerary is already time-compressed.
🚶 Mall Road Timing: Mall Road can become congested on weekend evenings. Consider planning your walk for late morning instead.
🚕 Local Day Trips: Local taxis for trips to Bhimtal or Sattal are easy to arrange directly from Nainital.
👴 Senior Travellers: The Pantnagar–Nainital road has continuous curves, so a mid-route break is worth planning for a more comfortable transfer.
💵 Carry Cash: ATMs are concentrated around Mall Road and Tallital. Withdraw cash before heading out for day trips.
❤️ Honeymooners: For couples with limited leave, the time saved by flying can make the difference between fitting in a basic 3-day trip and having enough time for a more complete 5-day holiday.
