Question 1

What is the price of an Umrah package from Vijayawada?

Accepted Answer

Umrah packages from Vijayawada start from approximately ₹88,000 per person for economy options (3-star hotels, shared transfers, connecting flight via Hyderabad) and reach ₹2,55,000+ for premium packages. Since VGA does not have direct Jeddah flights, packages include a short hop to Hyderabad for the international connection. All prices include visa processing, Makkah and Madinah hotels, and Saudi transfers.

Question 2

What is the best way to fly from Vijayawada to Jeddah for Umrah?

Accepted Answer

The most efficient option for Vijayawada pilgrims is to fly from VGA to Hyderabad (HYD) on IndiGo or Air India — a 1-hour flight — and then connect directly to Jeddah. Alternatively, many pilgrims take an overnight train from Vijayawada to Hyderabad (5–6 hours) and fly from HYD, which can be more economical. We present both options with pricing to help you choose what works best.

Question 3

How far is Vijayawada Airport from the city centre?

Accepted Answer

Vijayawada Airport (VGA) is located in Gannavaram, approximately 20 km from Vijayawada city centre. The drive from Benz Circle or One Town typically takes 30–40 minutes by taxi or auto-rickshaw. City bus services and Ola are available. Pilgrims from Guntur (35 km) can reach the airport directly, while those from Eluru and Rajahmundry typically drive or take connecting transport to Vijayawada before flying.

Question 4

Do you serve pilgrims from Guntur, Krishna, and Godavari districts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our Vijayawada packages are designed for pilgrims across coastal Andhra Pradesh, including Krishna, Guntur, West Godavari, East Godavari, and Bapatla districts. Pilgrims from Eluru and Rajahmundry may prefer to use VGA or connect via a short road transfer to Hyderabad; we advise based on your specific location and travel dates to find the most convenient and cost-effective departure option.

Question 5

What is the best time for Umrah from Vijayawada?

Accepted Answer

November through March is the ideal period for Umrah from Vijayawada — temperatures in Makkah are mild (18–28°C) and flight-hotel pricing is at its most competitive. Ramadan Umrah (typically late March–April) is spiritually rewarding but requires 4–5 months advance booking, particularly for the Hyderabad connecting flight and popular Haram-adjacent hotels. Avoid the summer peak (May–August) when Makkah can reach 46°C.
