Andaman and Nicobar Islands to Kashmir is a flight-first journey, and there is no nonstop flight from IXZ yet, so most travellers connect through Delhi for a total of about 12-16h. Port Blair's coral reefs and turquoise water are about as different a landscape from Kashmir's mountain-ringed, snowmelt-fed valleys as India offers - which is exactly why island-hopping Andaman travellers find a Kashmir trip genuinely novel.
From Andaman and Nicobar Islands the journey starts with a flight to the mainland, then a connection to Srinagar - so plan an overnight buffer on the way in rather than a same-day dash. Once you land, Via Kashmir packages with hotels, a private cab and sightseeing start from ₹8,999 per person.
How to reach Kashmir from Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Every way in, compared. Times are typical; road times are planning estimates that include the hill section from Jammu.
| Mode | Route | Time | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flight with one stop | IXZ to Delhi, then Delhi to Srinagar (SXR) | 12-16h | IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet. Book both legs on one ticket so a delay is the airline's problem, not yours. |

- 1
Fly from Andaman and Nicobar Islands to the mainland and on to Delhi, then connect to Srinagar (SXR) - book the legs on one ticket where you can.

What Andaman and Nicobar Islands travellers come to Kashmir for
Dal Lake, Srinagar
A sunrise shikara past the floating vegetable market, a night on a carved-wood houseboat, and the Mughal Gardens on the shore.
Local tip: Take the 6-7am shikara - the lake is stillest and the market is only real before 8am.
Gulmarg
One of the highest cable cars in the world lifts you to Apharwat Peak; snow from December, wildflower meadows from May.
Local tip: Book the first gondola slot - queues build fast and weather can close it by afternoon.
Pahalgam
The shepherds’ valley on the Lidder river, base for Betaab Valley, Aru Valley and Chandanwari.
Local tip: Aru Valley is 12 km further and far quieter than Betaab - worth the extra half-hour.
Sonamarg
The "meadow of gold" on the road to Ladakh, with Thajiwas Glacier a short walk or pony ride away.
Local tip: Go early - 80 km from Srinagar, and the glacier trail is best before noon.
