Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) to Kashmir: Complete 2026 Tour Package Guide

Aurangabad’s identity is carved in stone, literally, this is the gateway city for the Ajanta and Ellora cave complexes and the Bibi Ka Maqbara, a place where tourism already means centuries-old craftsmanship. Kashmir offers a different kind of heritage trip from the same city, Mughal-era gardens and centuries-old khatamband ceilings instead of rock-cut caves, and a much cooler climate to go with it.

How to Reach Kashmir from Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar)

Aurangabad’s own airport has flights to Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore, so you have a genuine choice of connecting hub.

The Delhi routing tends to have more onward Srinagar options through the day, while Mumbai works if your flight times line up. Either way, budget roughly 6-8 hours of total travel including the layover. There is no direct Aurangabad-Srinagar flight, the connection through Delhi or Mumbai is unavoidable.

FAQs
