Statue of Unity Package
from Pune
Pune to Kevadia is a genuine long-haul route — around 530 km via NH 48, typically 9 to 10 hours behind the wheel. Given a drive that long, we think it's worth knowing exactly what each part costs: private taxi, your overnight stay tier, and the Classic Day Package, priced individually rather than as a single trip fee.
The Real Distance from Pune
Pune to the Statue of Unity is approximately 530 km by road, taking around 9-10 hours of driving via NH 48, with Surat as a natural stopover roughly midway. Treat this as a researched, cross-checked estimate rather than an official published figure — sources vary between roughly 530 km and 550 km depending on the exact route and starting point within Pune, and traffic near Pune, Surat and Vadodara can add meaningfully to the drive time.
Our honest advice
Don't attempt this as a single-day round trip. At roughly 530 km each way, a there-and-back drive means 18-20 hours of driving alone — more time on the road than at the monument. Plan it as an overnight or two-day trip instead: drive to Kevadia (with an optional break at Surat), stay a night, see the sights properly, and drive back rested. See our full Pune to Statue of Unity route guide for train and flight alternatives.
Choose Your Taxi
Real partner transport, priced per vehicle, not per person. Prices below are one-way, point-to-point fares — message us for round-trip pricing on the Pune route. See the full Private Taxi & Transport page for details.
Sedan
A standard AC sedan — the most economical option for couples and small families.
Ertiga
A roomier MPV for small groups and families travelling with luggage — a popular pick for the longer Pune route.
Innova / Innova Crysta
Our largest tier — best for bigger families and groups covering this distance together in one vehicle.

What a Pune Trip Might Cost
One example, using the real prices above — 2 adults, an Ertiga for the long drive (round trip), one night at the Comfort tier, and the Classic Day Package. Your own total depends on your vehicle, stay tier and group size.
| Item | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Ertiga taxi, Pune ⇄ Kevadia (round trip) | ₹2,590 × 2 one-way legs | ₹5,180 |
| Comfort Overnight Package, 1 room | 1 night | ₹4,900 |
| Classic Day Package, 2 adults | ₹750 × 2 | ₹1,500 |
| Estimated total | ₹11,580 |
This is a worked example, not a fixed quote — no discount is applied. Round-trip taxi pricing is confirmed with you directly since it depends on your exact pickup point in Pune; message us on WhatsApp for an exact fare and combined total.
A Realistic Trip Timeline from Pune
Given the 9-10 hour drive each way, we strongly suggest an overnight stay rather than a single-day round trip — a two-day plan with a stopover at Surat works well.
| Time | Plan |
|---|---|
| Day 1, early AM | Leave Pune, drive towards Surat |
| Day 1, midday | Break at Surat, refuel and rest |
| Day 1, evening | Arrive Kevadia, check in, catch the Narmada Maha Aarti |
| Day 2, morning | Viewing Gallery, Jungle Safari, Valley of Flowers |
| Day 2, afternoon | Begin the drive back, or stay a second night |

Approximately 530 km by road via NH 48, taking around 9-10 hours of driving. This is a researched estimate cross-checked across route sources, not an official published figure, and sources vary between roughly 530 km and 550 km depending on the exact starting point within Pune and the route taken.
We don't recommend it. At roughly 530 km each way, a same-day round trip means 18-20 hours of driving alone. We strongly suggest an overnight stay, or a two-day plan with a stopover at Surat, so you arrive rested and have real time at the monument.
Your total is three transparent parts added together: the private taxi fare for the vehicle you choose, your chosen overnight stay tier (Budget, Comfort or Premium), and the Classic Day Package sightseeing (₹750/adult, ₹350/child). We don't blend these into one fixed number because taxi cost depends on your exact pickup point and vehicle.
For a drive this long, most families prefer the Ertiga (up to 6 passengers, ₹2,590/vehicle one-way) or Innova / Innova Crysta (6-7 passengers, ₹5,610/vehicle one-way) for the extra legroom and boot space. The Sedan (up to 4 passengers, ₹2,200/vehicle one-way) works well for couples or smaller groups.
