Alwar's proximity to Delhi-NCR, about 160 kilometres, makes it one of the more convenient Rajasthan cities for a Kashmir trip, since the entire first leg can be handled by road in under 3 hours. Locals here, many of whom already travel to Delhi regularly for work or Sariska-adjacent tourism, treat the capital as a natural jumping-off point rather than an inconvenience.
Quick Answer: A Kashmir package from Alwar typically runs 6D/5N, starting around ₹9,999 per person for a budget double-sharing trip, up to premium houseboat-and-private-cab packages. Most travellers from Alwar route via Delhi or a connecting metro to reach Srinagar.
How to reach Kashmir from Alwar
The most efficient route from Alwar is a road transfer to Delhi, roughly 3 hours by car or a similar window by train, followed by a Delhi to Srinagar flight of about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Best time to visit
Given the easy Delhi connection, Alwar travellers can afford to be more flexible with dates than origins further away. April to June suits those escaping Alwar's summer heat, while October's chinar season pairs well with cooler, comfortable weather for the road leg to Delhi as well.
Since the Delhi leg is a road journey, check traffic and highway conditions before an early-morning flight, the Alwar-Delhi stretch can add unpredictable time during peak hours or fog season in December.
Is it faster to drive to Delhi or take a train from Alwar?
Both take roughly similar time, around 3 hours. Trains are generally more predictable for tight flight connections since they avoid highway traffic.
Is there a direct flight from Alwar to Srinagar?
No, Alwar has no airport, but the short road transfer to Delhi makes this one of the quicker overall routes in this region.
Can we do a long weekend trip from Alwar?
A 4-day trip is possible given the short Delhi connection, though 5N/6D lets you cover Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg without rushing.
