Kashmir tours from Delhi
The Delhi to Kashmir trip, planned around your dates
Delhi is the easiest departure point in the country for Kashmir: nonstop flights run through the day, the train reaches Jammu overnight, and the road is a single long day if you would rather drive. That makes a two-night valley break realistic, and a lot of Delhi travellers build exactly that. Couples booking from Delhi 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 DEL–SXR flights run morning to evening, so landing on Dal Lake the same day is routine rather than lucky. If the Delhi 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.
The Delhi summer is the loudest reason to go north: from May to July the plains sit above 40°C while Srinagar stays in the twenties, and the nonstop makes a short escape practical. The honeymoon itineraries below are starting structures, not fixed departures: tell us your dates, your group and whether you want a houseboat night, a lake-view room or a Katra stop, and we rebuild the Delhi plan and send a written quote before you pay.

How to reach Kashmir from Delhi
AirFly Delhi to Srinagar
Nonstop DEL–SXR flights run morning to evening, so landing on Dal Lake the same day is routine rather than lucky.
- Journey
- about 1h 25m nonstop
- Best for
- Trips of 3 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 Delhi reach Jammu Tawi, the railhead for the valley. From Jammu the road climbs through Udhampur and the Banihal tunnel into Srinagar.
- Journey
- About 9 hours, then a 270 km drive
- Best for
- Travellers who would rather not fly
The road leg takes most of a day, so we schedule it in daylight and hold the Srinagar night for the arrival.
RoadDrive from Delhi
A private car from Delhi runs north before the final climb through Udhampur and the Banihal tunnel into the valley.
- Journey
- One long driving day 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 Delhi
- March – MayBlossom and tulips
The blossom and tulip weeks in March and April are the easiest months to slot into a Delhi calendar, and the journey up is at its most comfortable.
- June – AugustSummer escape
June to August is the escape from the Delhi heat. Everything is open, the houseboats are busy, and a long weekend stretches into a full valley circuit.
- September – OctoberAutumn colour
Late September and October bring colour and lower rates. With a short journey from Delhi, a three- or four-night trip in this window is realistic.
- December – FebruarySnow in Gulmarg
December to February is snow season in Gulmarg and the coldest stretch in Srinagar. Delhi travellers used to a north-Indian winter will find the cold familiar, though the nights still drop below freezing.
