Thane to Kashmir: Complete 2026 Tour Package Guide

Thane calls itself the City of Lakes, and locals genuinely do spend weekends walking around Masunda and Upvan, but the lakes are small, flat, and surrounded by the same Mumbai Metropolitan Region skyline. Dal Lake works on a completely different scale, a lake you sleep on for a night, ringed by mountains instead of apartment towers.

Mumbai has direct flights to Srinagar on several airlines, so this is actually one of the more straightforward Maharashtra routes, a nonstop flight of roughly 2.5-3 hours once you’re airborne. Yes, Mumbai to Srinagar is a genuine direct route, no Delhi layover required for most departures.
