A small airport at Keshod, around 40 km from Junagadh, exists but flights there are limited, so confirm schedules before relying on it. From any airport the easiest plan is a taxi or bus to Junagadh, then a short auto or taxi ride to Bhavnath Taleti.
Getting from Junagadh to Bhavnath Taleti
Auto-rickshaws, taxis, local buses and shared jeeps run between Junagadh city and Girnar Taleti, and the road passes Ashoka’s rock edict on the way. During big events — the Girnar Lili Parikrama in November and the Bhavnath Mela around Maha Shivratri — roads around the temple area are crowded and local traffic arrangements may apply, so allow extra time and consider arriving a day early.
