Bhubaneswar to Kashmir: Complete 2026 Tour Package Guide

Bhubaneswar carries the title of India's temple city for good reason, with more than a thousand years of stone architecture scattered across it, and Odisha travellers tend to value that sense of layered history wherever they go. Srinagar's old city has its own dense architectural story, wooden mosques and heritage houses built with techniques found nowhere else in India, a natural point of interest for Bhubaneswar visitors beyond the usual scenic photo stops.

How to Reach Kashmir from Bhubaneswar

Biju Patnaik International Airport (BBI) in Bhubaneswar has no direct flight to Srinagar, so the honest route is a connection through Delhi. Expect roughly 2.5 hours to Delhi, then 1.5 to 2 hours onward to Srinagar. Including the layover, total travel time runs about 8 to 10 hours.

• ✓Bhubaneswar (BBI) to Delhi: approximately 2.5 hours
