Kashmir Tour Package from Bengaluru — Flights, Cost & a Day-Wise Plan
From Bengaluru, catch the seasonal direct or an early Delhi connection and land in a completely different climate the same day. Planned and run on the ground by a local Srinagar team since 2010.
Booking a Kashmir tour package from Bengaluru comes down to two things: getting the flights right, and having a genuine local team waiting when you land. This page covers both — real 2026 travel times and costs from Bengaluru, the food details that matter for Bengaluru families, our live packages, and a sample itinerary. Your flight is easy to book yourself; everything after Srinagar airport is what we handle.

🍽️ Tell us your food needs when you book
Because we brief every hotel and houseboat kitchen ourselves, dietary requests actually get honoured. Mention pure-veg, Jain, no-onion-no-garlic, halal or any allergy when you message us, and we build it into the trip — not something a distant call centre can promise.

Planning tips for travellers from Bengaluru
- Land before 2pm. Arrival-day sightseeing is tight otherwise, and winter light goes early.
- Keep a buffer on the way home. Winter fog and snow delay Srinagar flights, so avoid booking a tight onward connection in December and January.
- The rail route pairs well with Vaishno Devi. The Srinagar train calls at Katra, so you can do darshan first and continue to the valley the next morning.
- We handle everything after you arrive — airport or station pickup, hotels, private cab and all sightseeing. You only book the inbound travel.
- Prepaid SIMs from outside Jammu and Kashmir do not work in the valley. Postpaid connections do.
