Kashmir Tour Package from Delhi — Flights, Cost & a Day-Wise Plan
Delhi is the easiest launchpad for Kashmir — the morning flight gets you on a Shikara by afternoon. Planned and run on the ground by a local Srinagar team since 2010.
Booking a Kashmir tour package from Delhi 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 Delhi, the food details that matter for Delhi families, our live packages, and a sample itinerary. Your flight is easy to book yourself; everything after Srinagar airport is what we handle.
How to reach Kashmir from Delhi
By air (recommended): About 1 hr 20 min nonstop — Delhi has the most direct flights to Srinagar of any Indian city, with several departures every morning. Not usually needed; nonstops run all day.
Typical return airfare: ₹4,000–₹9,000 return in economy, depending on season and how early you book.
By road / rail: Delhi–Srinagar by road is ~800 km (via Jammu, 18–20 hrs) — most travellers fly, but overland via Patnitop is scenic if you have time.
| From Delhi | Route | Approx. time | Typical return fare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fastest | Delhi (DEL) → Srinagar (SXR) | See above | ₹4,000–₹9,000 |
Food for Delhi travellers — sorted in advance
North Indian food is everywhere in Kashmir, so Delhi travellers feel right at home. Pure-veg and Jain meals are easily arranged on request.
🍽️ 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 Delhi
- 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.
