Kashmir tours from Vadodara
The Vadodara to Kashmir trip, planned around your dates
Vadodara has good connections to both Delhi and Mumbai, so the valley is one change away rather than an expedition. Baroda families usually travel in the May holidays and often ask about a Katra stop, which is why the Vaishno Devi extension is the question we get most here.
Fly BDQ with one change in Delhi or Mumbai, or drive to Ahmedabad for a wider choice of departures. If the Vadodara flight lands late, we keep the first night in Srinagar and start the sightseeing after breakfast rather than in the dark.
May and June are the popular months from Vadodara, with the Diwali break in October the second for clear skies and softer rates.

Travel guide
Getting from Vadodara to Kashmir
Two ways to make the journey from Vadodara, and when the valley is at its best.
How to reach Kashmir from Vadodara
AirFly Vadodara to Srinagar
Fly BDQ with one change in Delhi or Mumbai, or drive to Ahmedabad for a wider choice of departures.
- Journey
- about 4 to 5 hours with one stop
- Best for
- Trips of 2 to 8 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 Vadodara reach Jammu Tawi, the railhead for the valley. From Jammu the road climbs through Udhampur and the Banihal tunnel into Srinagar.
- Journey
- About about 30 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 Vadodara
A private car from Vadodara 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
Plan at least one full driving day each way and ask us to check tunnel and Mughal Road conditions closer to departure.
Best time to visit Kashmir from Vadodara
- March – MayBlossom and tulips
Almond blossom opens in early March and the tulip garden runs through April. For travellers from Vadodara this is the window with the mildest days at both ends of the journey — no heat on the plains, no snow on the pass.
- June – AugustSummer escape
June to August is why most Vadodara families book: the plains are at their hottest while Srinagar sits in the high twenties, so a houseboat night and a Gulmarg meadow day do the work of an air conditioner.
- September – OctoberAutumn colour
The chinars turn copper, the summer rush thins and hotel rates soften. Vadodara travellers who can move their dates usually get the best value of the year in this window.
- December – FebruarySnow in Gulmarg
Gulmarg holds snow from late December into February and the gondola runs over it. Srinagar is cold but usually clear, and a Vadodara group chasing snow should keep one flexible day in the plan.

How many days do I need for a Kashmir trip from Vadodara?
