Mumbai to Kashmir

Srinagar is about 2,100 km from Mumbai by road via Jammu (NH44) - roughly 36-44 hours of driving - or 2h 45m on a nonstop flight.

Yes. IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air fly nonstop from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) to Srinagar (SXR) in about 2h 45m.

Take a long-distance train from Mumbai to Jammu Tawi or SMVD Katra (book on IRCTC). The Jammu Tawi-Srinagar Vande Bharat takes 4h 50m (departs Jammu 06:20, reaches Srinagar 11:10, six days a week). There is no single through train to Srinagar yet, so you change at Jammu Tawi or Katra.

Plan 4 days for the 2,100 km drive, with night halts on the way and a last one in Jammu or Katra so you drive the hill section (Udhampur-Ramban-Banihal-Srinagar) in daylight. The NH44 can close for a day after heavy snow or landslides, so keep a buffer day in winter.

Both are reached through Srinagar: Gulmarg is 50 km (about 1h 30m) beyond Srinagar and Pahalgam about 90 km (2h 30m), so roughly 2,150 km and 2,190 km by road from Mumbai. Most visitors base in Srinagar and do Gulmarg as a day trip.

On Via Kashmir, a 5-day package with hotels, a private cab and sightseeing starts at ₹18,500 per person, so a couple pays from ₹37,000 for the Kashmir part of the trip. If you book stays separately, hotels start at ₹1,259 in Srinagar, ₹2,495 in Gulmarg, ₹1,512 in Pahalgam per night, and Dal Lake houseboats from ₹3,150. Add return BOM-SXR flights from Mumbai, which vary with dates - booking 4-6 weeks ahead usually gets the better fares.

Packages listed on Via Kashmir currently start from ₹8,999 per person (Kashmir Weekend Escape - Srinagar & Gulmarg in 3 Days, 3 days). The lowest-priced 5-day package is ₹18,500 per person (Winter Special Kashmir Package - 4N5D). A first trip usually covers Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam in 5-6 days; the final price depends on your dates and hotel category.

The lowest-priced package two people can book on their own is Winter Special Kashmir Package - 4N5D at ₹18,500 per person (5 days), so ₹37,000 for a couple - hotels, private cab and sightseeing from Srinagar included. Some cheaper group packages need at least 4 travellers. Flights from Mumbai are not included - book them separately for the best fare.

A 5-day package starts at ₹18,500 per person (Winter Special Kashmir Package - 4N5D), about ₹74,000 for 4 travellers sharing, with hotels, a private cab and sightseeing included. Children's rates and an extra bed are quoted on request; add return travel from Mumbai.

With a 2h 45m nonstop flight, 4 days covers Srinagar and Gulmarg; 6 days adds Pahalgam, and 8 days covers Sonamarg and Doodhpathri too.

April-June is the classic escape from West India's hottest months - Kashmir is green and mild then. Book flights 4-6 weeks ahead for May-June, the busiest weeks of the year. March-April brings the Tulip Garden; December-February is snow season.

Yes. Honeymoon packages on Via Kashmir start at ₹22,599 per person (Kashmir Honeymoon Special - Romance in the Valley, 5 days), with a Dal Lake houseboat night, private cab and couple-friendly stays; flights from Mumbai are booked separately.

No permit is needed for Indian citizens to visit Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam or Sonamarg - carry a government photo ID for hotel check-in and the airport. Prepaid SIM cards from outside Jammu & Kashmir generally do not work there, so use a postpaid connection or buy a local SIM.

Yes. Thousands of Mumbai tourists visit Kashmir every year. Popular destinations like Srinagar, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam are safe and heavily visited by domestic tourists.

Even in summer, Kashmir evenings are cool (10-15°C), so pack a light jacket or shawl along with regular summer wear. For a winter trip (Dec-Feb), heavy woollens, thermal wear, and waterproof snow boots are essential - Mumbai's humid climate means most travellers under-pack for the cold.

For peak season (April-June and December-January), book at least 4-6 weeks in advance as flights and premium houseboats fill up fast from Mumbai. For off-peak months, 2 weeks is usually enough.

Mumbai (BOM) has nonstop flights to Srinagar, about 2h 45m on IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air. From Pune, Nagpur and the rest of Maharashtra, connect via Mumbai or Delhi on one ticket, or take a long-distance train to Jammu Tawi or Katra and the Vande Bharat on to Srinagar.

Travellers from Daman and Silvassa usually fly from Mumbai, which has nonstop flights to Srinagar (about 2h 45m); Surat is closer but connects via Delhi or Mumbai. From Diu, Ahmedabad has a nonstop flight to Srinagar (about 2h 20m).

Yes. Travellers from across Mumbai and Thane use the same flights from Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) and the Swaraj Express from Bandra Terminus, so the packages and prices on this page apply as they are. Our driver meets you at Srinagar airport or station, and flights or train tickets can be added to the same quote.

Yes. July and August are green and mostly dry in Kashmir compared with Mumbai, and all four main valleys are open. The Amarnath Yatra makes Pahalgam and Sonamarg busier then, so book hotels there early.

You deal directly with the people who plan and run the trip. The hotels in your quote are ones our team has visited, the driver is assigned by us, and if a road closes or the weather turns, the same local team re-plans your day on WhatsApp instead of passing you between call centres.

Yes. The quote names the hotel or houseboat for every night and the room type, with an itemised total including GST. Nothing is "or similar".
