That same sense of order shows up in how Gandhinagar travellers approach a Kashmir trip, they want a clear plan, and the good news is this is one of the better-connected routes in this batch.
Quick Answer: A Kashmir package from Gandhinagar 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 Gandhinagar route via Delhi or a connecting metro to reach Srinagar.
How to Reach Kashmir from Gandhinagar
Gandhinagar sits practically next door to Ahmedabad, roughly 30-40 minutes by road, and Ahmedabad runs a direct Srinagar flight.
The short hop to Ahmedabad’s airport followed by its direct Srinagar sector is the simplest route here, roughly 5-6 hours total including the drive and flight. Ahmedabad’s direct Srinagar flight, combined with its short distance from Gandhinagar, makes this one of the most efficient routes in the entire batch.

Best Time to Visit Kashmir from Gandhinagar
Gandhinagar’s planned, unhurried civic pace suits Kashmir’s quieter chinar autumn (late September-October) just as well as the busier April-June bloom season, pick whichever matches the mood you’re after.
