Kashmir tours from Bangalore
The Bangalore to Kashmir trip, planned around your dates
Bangalore has had direct flights to Srinagar on and off for years, so the first question for a city family is what is actually operating on their dates rather than what is theoretically possible. Where the direct is not running, Hyderabad and Delhi both connect in a single hop and still land you on Dal Lake before dark.
Take the direct BLR–SXR when it operates, otherwise Hyderabad or Delhi connects in one hop. An afternoon landing from Bangalore is better spent settling into Srinagar, with the drive into the valley pushed to the next morning.
Bangalore rain is a drizzle next to a Kashmir winter; the useful comparison is heat, and June to August in the valley is dry and cool, which is why so many city families use the school break for this trip. Nothing on this Bangalore page is a fixed departure. Give us your dates and the group size and we return a written tour plan with the hotel names, the vehicle and the inclusions, so you can compare before you commit.

Travel guide
Getting from Bangalore to Kashmir
Two ways to make the journey from Bangalore, and when the valley is at its best.
How to reach Kashmir from Bangalore
AirFly Bangalore to Srinagar
Take the direct BLR–SXR when it operates, otherwise Hyderabad or Delhi connects in one hop.
- Journey
- about 3h 15m direct
- Best for
- Trips of 2 to 7 days
We plan the first night around your landing time, so nobody is driving to Gulmarg after a long flight.
TrainTrain to Jammu Tawi, then the valley road
Trains from Bangalore reach Jammu Tawi, the railhead for the valley. From Jammu the road climbs through Udhampur and the Banihal tunnel into Srinagar.
- Journey
- About about 44 hours, then a 270 km drive
- Best for
- Travellers who would rather not fly
Book the train leg early in the summer and snow season; the Jammu-bound sleeper classes fill first.
RoadDrive from Bangalore
A private car from Bangalore runs north before the final climb through Udhampur and the Banihal tunnel into the valley.
- Journey
- Three driving days each way
- Best for
- Long holidays with stops on the way
If you drive, we can book the overnight stops and keep the Srinagar hotel flexible for a late arrival.
Best time to visit Kashmir from Bangalore
- March – MayBlossom and tulips
March to May gives Bangalore travellers the clearest valley light of the year, with almond blossom early and the tulip garden through April, before the plains heat arrives.
- June – AugustSummer escape
The monsoon months back home are the dry, cool months in Kashmir. Families from Bangalore often use the school holidays for a five- or six-night trip in this window.
- September – OctoberAutumn colour
September and October are the walking months: the chinars turn, the orchards are picked and the valley empties out. It is the quietest good-weather window for a Bangalore holiday.
- December – FebruarySnow in Gulmarg
Snow settles on Gulmarg from late December and skiing starts in January. The trade-off for Bangalore travellers is a longer journey for short daylight, so keep the plan to Srinagar and Gulmarg.
FAQs
Bangalore to Kashmir: practical questions, answered
How do I get from Bangalore to Srinagar?
Fly from Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) to Srinagar (SXR): the direct BLR–SXR service when it runs, otherwise one hop through Hyderabad or Delhi. The flight itself is about 3h 15m direct. If you would rather not fly, trains reach Jammu Tawi in about about 44 hours, then a 270 km road transfer follows.
How long should a Kashmir holiday from Bangalore be?
Plan on 4 to 8 days from Bangalore. A short break covers Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam; a full week adds Sonamarg or a second night on Dal Lake. The packages on this page run from 2 to 7 days.
How much does a Kashmir trip from Bangalore cost?
Published starting rates here run ₹2,500 to ₹21,000 per person on twin sharing. Flights from Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) are quoted separately unless the confirmation includes them, and the total becomes final once the hotels and the vehicle are named in writing.
How long is the flight from Bangalore to Srinagar?
About three and a quarter hours direct. With one stop in Hyderabad or Delhi, count five to seven hours door to door once the connection and the airport transfer are included.
Is Kashmir safe for families travelling from Bangalore?
Family trips are the most common request we get from Bangalore. The five- and six-night versions keep drive days short, add a houseboat night and put the Gulmarg gondola and a Pahalgam pony ride in the plan. Tell us the ages of the children and we hold every road leg in daylight.
What is the best season for a Kashmir tour from Bangalore?
The valley has four usable seasons: blossom and tulips in March to May, summer from June to August, autumn colour in September and October, and snow from December to February. Bangalore travellers usually pick summer for family holidays and January for snow.
Can we combine Kashmir with a south India trip?
You can, but they work better back to back than interleaved. Send us the full plan and we will slot the valley block where the flights line up and the altitude change is easiest.
Are flights from Bangalore included in the package price?
Each package page lists its own hotels, vehicle, meals and sightseeing. Air or rail tickets from Bangalore, entry tickets, gondola rides, pony hire and anything marked optional are quoted separately, and all of it is confirmed in writing before you pay.
