A realistic, honestly-routed Kashmir tour package guide for travellers from Junagadh, covering flight connections, real 2026 price bands, and a sample 5N/6D itinerary.
In This Article
Junagadh sits at the foot of Girnar hill and serves as the gateway to Gir, the only place in the world with wild Asiatic lions still roaming free. Travellers who come to Junagadh for wildlife often ask about Kashmir’s own nature draw next, less about spotting animals and more about the landscape itself, valleys, glaciers and alpine lakes.
Quick Answer: A Kashmir package from Junagadh 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 Junagadh route via Delhi or a connecting metro to reach Srinagar.
How to Reach Kashmir from Junagadh
Junagadh has no commercial airport, the roughly 1.5-2 hour drive to Rajkot is the standard first leg.

Best Time to Visit Kashmir from Junagadh
If your Junagadh trip already revolves around Gir’s wildlife season (winter, when sightings are easier), consider pairing it with Kashmir’s own December-February snow season for two very different nature experiences in one trip.
Kashmir has its own rare wildlife, the hangul deer, found almost nowhere else, worth asking your guide about sighting spots if wildlife is already a travel interest from your Gir visits.
