We are a local travel agency based in Srinagar, and this page explains the real price, the hotel options, the taxi choices, how to reach Kashmir from Bangalore, and what is and is not included, so you can compare our Bangalore to Kashmir tour package with confidence.

How to Reach Kashmir from Bangalore
Bangalore to Kashmir by Flight
Flying is the fastest and most practical way. Nonstop flights between Bengaluru and Srinagar are operated by IndiGo and Air India Express and take roughly 3.5 hours, and one-stop options via Delhi or other hubs are also available. Schedules change by season, so check the airline websites for your dates.
- Choose a morning departure so you reach Srinagar with daylight left.
- In winter, fog and snow can delay flights, so avoid tight connections.
- Srinagar Airport (SXR) is usually 30–45 minutes from the Dal Lake area, depending on traffic and security checks.
Bangalore to Kashmir by Train
There is no through train from Bangalore to Srinagar. The usual route is a train from Bengaluru to Jammu Tawi or Katra (about two days), followed by a Vande Bharat train into the Valley. A Jammu–Srinagar Vande Bharat began regular service on 2 May 2026 and takes about five hours, and Katra–Srinagar takes about three hours. Check IRCTC for current timings and operating days. We can pick you up from Srinagar railway station. A train trip needs extra days in both directions, so it suits travellers with a longer holiday.
Bangalore to Kashmir by Road
Driving from Bangalore to Kashmir is roughly 2,900–3,000 km via NH44 and takes about 45–60 hours of driving. Jammu to Srinagar alone is around 270 km and 6–9 hours, depending on weather. We do not recommend the full road journey for families or a short holiday.

Kashmir Tour Package from Bangalore Price
The price of a Kashmir tour package from Bangalore depends mainly on your hotel category, travel month, group size and room type. The rates below are starting prices for the 7-day plan on this page. Peak dates such as the summer holidays, Dasara, Diwali and Christmas–New Year cost more, and final rates depend on hotel availability on your dates.

| 4-star package | From ₹38,000 | For 2 people |
| 5-star package | From ₹95,000 | For 2 people |

Hotels we use in this category include Shaf Excellency, Hotel GM Castle, Hotel Golden Sands and Grand Mirage International.
Kashmir Tour Package from Bangalore Price for 4 Star Package
The 4-star Kashmir tour package from Bangalore starts from ₹38,000 for 2 people.

What Is the Total Cost of a Kashmir Trip from Bangalore Including Flights?
Your total cost has four parts: the land package, your flights or train tickets, paid extras and personal spending. A simple example for two people in a 3-star package:
- Land package: ₹28,000 (₹14,000 × 2)
- Gulmarg Gondola for both phases: ₹3,600 (₹1,800 × 2)
- Return flights from Bangalore: fares change by month and how early you book, so check airline websites
- Ponies, local taxis at sightseeing points, lunches and shopping: depends on your choices
Booking flights early and travelling outside school holidays usually lowers the total.
Kashmir Tour Package from Bangalore for Family
A Kashmir tour package from Bangalore for family should be slow enough for children and senior citizens, because the flight alone takes most of the first day. That is why we plan 6 nights / 7 days with only one hotel change between Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam, a day trip to Sonamarg and an easy Doodhpathri excursion.
Here is what we recommend for family groups:
- Choose the right vehicle. Couples are comfortable in a sedan. Families of 4–6 usually prefer a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or an Innova Crysta, and larger groups can take a Tempo Traveller or Urbania.
- Keep the first evening light. After the journey from Bangalore, rest, walk along the Dal Lake Boulevard and take an easy shikara ride instead of rushing sightseeing.
- Plan the Gondola with care. Apharwat (Phase 2) is at nearly 4,000 metres. If anyone has heart, lung or blood-pressure issues, speak to your doctor and tell us in advance.
- Tell us your food needs. Let us know about vegetarian, Jain or children’s food preferences when you book, and we will arrange what is available at your hotels.
- Pack warm layers in every season. Evenings in Gulmarg and Pahalgam are cold even in summer, and Bangalore’s weather is very different.
If you want a different pace or route, we can customise the plan around your dates, number of travellers and budget.
Places Covered in Our Bangalore to Kashmir Tour
Srinagar
Srinagar is the base of your trip. You spend time on Dal Lake, visit the Mughal Gardens (Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh and Chashme Shahi), the Hazratbal Shrine and the old markets for saffron, dry fruits and handicrafts.
Sonamarg
Sonamarg, the Meadow of Gold, is a day trip from Srinagar along the Sindh River. The main stop is the Thajiwas Glacier area, and you can read more in our Thajiwas Glacier guide.
Gulmarg
Gulmarg, the Meadow of Flowers, is known for its golf course, meadows, snow in winter and the Gulmarg Gondola.
Pahalgam
Pahalgam, the Valley of Shepherds, sits on the Lidder River. You visit Betaab Valley and Aru Valley, and Chandanwari when the road allows. Our Pahalgam travel guide lists the places to visit and practical tips.
Good to know: Baisaran meadow is not part of this itinerary. Access to some Pahalgam spots has changed since 2025 and is decided by the local administration, so we confirm what is open before you travel.
Doodhpathri
Doodhpathri, the Valley of Milk, is a quiet meadow with pine forests and the Shaliganga stream, around 42–45 km from Srinagar. It is a calm break from the busier tourist stops.
