Kashmir tours from Mumbai
Kashmir tours built around how Mumbai travels
Mumbai to Srinagar is a nonstop flight of about two and a half hours, which is shorter than most people expect and the reason a weekend in the valley is realistic from here. We plan Mumbai trips around the morning departure so the first afternoon is on the lake rather than in a taxi. Couples booking from Mumbai usually want two Srinagar nights on a houseboat, one night in Gulmarg and a Shikara ride at sunset, which is the shape of every plan on this page.
Nonstop BOM–SXR flights run through the day, so a same-day arrival on Dal Lake is normal rather than lucky. If the Mumbai flight lands late, we keep the first night in Srinagar and start the sightseeing after breakfast rather than in the dark. Couples on the honeymoon route usually take the earliest Srinagar landing they can find, because the first evening on Dal Lake is the whole point of the trip.
Mumbai humidity peaks from May to June, exactly when Srinagar is dry and cool, so the summer escape is the busiest booking we take from the city. Nothing on this Mumbai page is a fixed departure. Give us your dates and the group size and we return a written honeymoon plan with the hotel names, the vehicle and the inclusions, so you can compare before you commit.

Travel guide
Getting from Mumbai to Kashmir
Two ways to make the journey from Mumbai, and when the valley is at its best.
How to reach Kashmir from Mumbai
AirFly Mumbai to Srinagar
Nonstop BOM–SXR flights run through the day, so a same-day arrival on Dal Lake is normal rather than lucky.
- Journey
- about 2h 30m nonstop
- Best for
- Trips of 3 to 8 days
Send us your dates and we will tell you what is flying that week, because schedules on this route change with the season.
TrainTrain to Jammu Tawi, then the valley road
Trains from Mumbai reach Jammu Tawi, the railhead for the valley. From Jammu the road climbs through Udhampur and the Banihal tunnel into Srinagar.
- Journey
- About 30 hours, then a 270 km drive
- Best for
- Travellers who would rather not fly
We can pick you up at Jammu Tawi and break the drive at Patnitop if you want a softer first day.
RoadDrive from Mumbai
A private car from Mumbai 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 Mumbai
- March – MayBlossom and tulips
Almond blossom opens in early March and the tulip garden runs through April. For travellers from Mumbai 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 Mumbai 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. Mumbai 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 Mumbai group chasing snow should keep one flexible day in the plan.
FAQs
Kashmir tours from Mumbai: questions travellers ask
How do I get from Mumbai to Srinagar?
Fly from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) to Srinagar (SXR): nonstop BOM–SXR flights through the day. The flight itself is about 2h 30m nonstop. If you would rather not fly, trains reach Jammu Tawi in about 30 hours, then a 270 km road transfer follows. For a honeymoon we also hold the houseboat night and the private Shikara hour on the dates you pick.
Is 3 days enough for Kashmir from Mumbai?
Plan on 2 to 8 days from Mumbai. 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 3 to 8 days. Couples booking from Mumbai usually take the lake-view room, and upgrading it does not change the itinerary.
What is the starting price of a Kashmir package from Mumbai?
The packages on this page start at ₹6,000 per person and run to ₹25,000 for the longer circuits, on twin sharing in a standard hotel. Airfare from Mumbai is quoted separately unless your confirmation says otherwise, and the written quote fixes the hotel category, vehicle and inclusions. Say it is a honeymoon when you enquire and we arrange the shikara timing and the room together.
How long is the flight from Mumbai to Srinagar?
About two and a half hours nonstop, with several departures a day in summer. Door to door from a Mumbai suburb to a Srinagar hotel is usually five to six hours. For a honeymoon we also hold the houseboat night and the private Shikara hour on the dates you pick.
Can children travel on a Kashmir package from Mumbai?
Family trips are the most common request we get from Mumbai. 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. Couples booking from Mumbai usually take the lake-view room, and upgrading it does not change the itinerary.
When is the best time to visit Kashmir from Mumbai?
It depends what you want to see. Blossom and tulips run March to May, the meadows are green and cool from June to August, the chinars turn in September and October, and Gulmarg holds snow from late December into February. From Mumbai the flight routing does not change with the season — only the packing does. Say it is a honeymoon when you enquire and we arrange the shikara timing and the room together.
Can we do a three-night Kashmir trip from Mumbai?
Yes. Fly out on the morning flight, take a Shikara ride that afternoon, give the next day to Gulmarg and fly back on the third morning. It is the shortest version we recommend. For a honeymoon we also hold the houseboat night and the private Shikara hour on the dates you pick.
Are flights from Mumbai included in the package price?
Each package page lists its own hotels, vehicle, meals and sightseeing. Air or rail tickets from Mumbai, entry tickets, gondola rides, pony hire and anything marked optional are quoted separately, and all of it is confirmed in writing before you pay. Couples booking from Mumbai usually take the lake-view room, and upgrading it does not change the itinerary.
