Best Kashmir Tour Packages 2026

Kashmir Tour Packages From Your City Getting There, Sorted by Origin

The first real question isn’t which package it’s how you’re even getting there. Delhi and Mumbai have daily direct flights, so the trip starts the moment you land. Bengaluru and Hyderabad also have direct flights, just longer ones — Bengaluru–Srinagar is the longest non-stop domestic route into the valley, at roughly 3 hours 40 minutes. Chennai, Kolkata, and Kerala more often mean a layover via Delhi or Mumbai, which changes how tight your itinerary should be on arrival day. And since 2025, there’s a genuinely new option: a direct Vande Bharat train now runs Jammu–Srinagar, crossing the Chenab Bridge the world’s highest railway arch for travellers who’d rather see the Kashmir approach by rail than fly straight in.
Find your city below for the specific route, not a generic “well-connected” line.

Explore Ways to Reach Kashmir

Flying Direct — Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad

Land and go — no layover to plan around
These five cities can treat "day 1" as an actual sightseeing day, not a travel day. Delhi is the busiest route into Srinagar by a wide margin — three flights a day on most schedules — which also makes it the easiest to rebook if plans shift. Bengaluru and Hyderabad are direct too, just longer flights — worth booking an earlier departure so you land with daylight left for a Dal Lake Shikara ride on arrival evening.
Practical note for the Delhi page specifically: Delhi is also the realistic starting point for the rail route below, since Jammu (the train's origin) is an easy onward hop or overnight train from Delhi — worth cross-linking that option here rather than only on a generic "how to reach Kashmir" page.

Flying via Layover — Chennai, Kolkata, Kerala

Budget an extra buffer hour, and don't book a same-day onward drive.
Chennai, Kolkata, and Kerala don't currently have reliable direct services into Srinagar, so the trip usually means a change at Delhi or Mumbai. This changes two things worth calling out explicitly:
Build a buffer day, not a same-day itinerary. A missed connection on a direct-flight city costs you an hour. On a layover route, it can cost you the whole first day of the package — worth building light arrival-day plans (houseboat check-in, not a packed sightseeing day) for anyone booking from these three.
South Indian travellers are often planning around escaping the heat, which makes May and June a natural pairing — worth linking directly to the May Month Page and Kashmir Summer Tour Package from the Chennai, Kolkata, and Kerala city pages specifically, since that's a genuinely different seasonal motivation than a Delhi traveller escaping winter fog.

The New Way In — By Train

Across the world's highest railway arch bridge
This is worth its own section because almost no competitor site in this space has caught up to it yet. Since 2025, a Vande Bharat Express runs directly between Jammu and Srinagar a route that didn't exist at all before, completed as part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link. The journey crosses the Chenab Bridge, the world's highest railway arch bridge, and the Anji Bridge, India's first cable-stayed rail bridge — genuinely striking engineering, not just a functional transfer.
For travellers coming from Delhi or North India, this opens a real alternative to flying: take an overnight train or short flight to Jammu, then the Vande Bharat on to Srinagar, arriving having actually seen the mountains rather than just landing above them. It's also a natural fit for anyone combining Kashmir with a Vaishno Devi leg, since the train currently starts from the Katra/Jammu side — worth a direct link to the Kashmir + Vaishno Devi combination here.
Note: confirm current departure point (Jammu Tawi vs. Katra), schedule, and journey time before publishing this route has changed more than once since launch and is worth verifying close to go-live rather than relying on older reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not currently a reliable non-stop most routes connect through Delhi or Mumbai. Direct services open and close seasonally, so check closer to your travel date.
Yes the Vande Bharat Express runs directly to Srinagar from the Jammu side, part of a rail line completed in 2025 that includes the Chenab Bridge, the world’s highest railway arch.
Delhi, by a clear margin the most daily flights and the easiest to rebook if your travel date shifts.
Yes at around 3 hours 40 minutes non-stop, it’s the longest direct domestic route into Srinagar, though still faster than any layover option from South India.
Not strictly required, but many South Indian travellers time their trip around escaping pre-monsoon heat, which points naturally toward May–June rather than winter.
