About Darbhanga Airport

Darbhanga Airport (IATA: DBR, ICAO: VEDH) is the nearest commercial airport to Simrahi and the Koshi region of Bihar. Located in Darbhanga city, approximately 105 km from Pushkar Guest House, the airport resumed commercial operations and has since become a vital air connectivity hub for northern Bihar, serving passengers from the Mithila, Koshi and Seemanchal regions.

Airlines SpiceJet and IndiGo operate regular flights from Darbhanga Airport to major Indian cities including Delhi (Indira Gandhi International Airport), Mumbai, Bangalore (Bengaluru), Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad. The airport features a modern terminal building equipped with passenger amenities including check-in counters, waiting lounges, and ground transport facilities.

From Darbhanga Airport, travellers can hire a taxi for the approximately 2.5-hour drive to Simrahi via Saharsa. The route passes through well-maintained state highways connecting Darbhanga to the Koshi region. Alternatively, one can take a train from Darbhanga Junction to Saharsa Junction and then continue by road to Simrahi — though the direct taxi option is generally faster and more convenient.

The airport has significantly reduced travel time for residents and visitors of the Koshi region who previously depended entirely on Patna Airport, which is roughly 240 km from Simrahi. With regular daily flights and expanding route connectivity, Darbhanga Airport has become the preferred air travel gateway for this part of Bihar.

Pre-booked taxi services are recommended for the Darbhanga–Simrahi route, especially for late-evening arrivals. Guests at Pushkar Guest House can request assistance with arranging airport pickup and drop-off services in advance.
