Planning a Kashmir holiday from Mysore is different from planning one from Delhi or Mumbai. The airport you leave from, the afternoon landing in Srinagar and the cold you walk into all change how the days should be paced. This guide gives you real prices by hotel star rating, the cab options for your group size, 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-day itineraries, and what is open in Kashmir right now. Not sure when to go?

Before you book anywhere: Baisaran and Chandanwari in Pahalgam are on official closed lists as of this update, yet many package pages still sell them. We show you what is open further down.
How to reach Kashmir from Mysore: the Mysore to Srinagar trip
Mysuru has no scheduled flight to Srinagar, so almost every traveller goes through Bengaluru.
| Route | Total time | Best for | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mysuru → Bengaluru airport → nonstop to Srinagar | About 10–12 hours door to door | Almost everyone | The Bengaluru–Srinagar nonstop takes about 3 h 35 min. Trackers showed Air India Express operating it about 7 times a week in October 2026; confirm before booking. |
| Mysuru → Bengaluru → one-stop via Delhi or Chandigarh | About 12–14 hours | When the nonstop is full | More fare choice, more connection risk. |
| Train via Delhi or Jammu, then Vande Bharat to Srinagar | Two days or more each way | Travellers with 10+ days | No through train from the south. Katra–Srinagar Vande Bharat runs since June 2025; a Jammu–Srinagar service began in May 2026. |
| Road | About 3,000 km | Not recommended | Several days each way. |
A typical flight day: leave Mysuru around 4:30–5:00 AM (3–4 hours to the airport), fly the late-morning nonstop, land in Srinagar mid-afternoon and reach your hotel around 3:30–4:00 PM. Day 1 is an arrival day, so a Dal Lake shikara ride at sunset is the right plan, not a full sightseeing circuit. Starting from Bengaluru instead? See our Kashmir packages for Bengaluru departures.
Kashmir tour package from Mysore by bus
There is no practical bus route from Mysuru to Kashmir; the road distance is about 3,000 km. We do not recommend it. The bus legs that do make sense are:
- Mysuru → Bengaluru airport: KSRTC Flybus, about ₹960 (Aug 2026 listing), 3–4 hours.
- Inside Kashmir: for large groups we arrange a bus after you land in Srinagar (see the vehicle table below).
Kashmir tour package from Mysore itinerary: 7 days / 6 nights
This is our full plan for first-time visitors. Every night includes breakfast and dinner.
Day 1: Arrive in Srinagar, airport pickup and hotel stay
Our representative meets you at Srinagar airport and takes you to your hotel. Check in and rest after the journey from Mysore. If time permits, take a shikara ride on Dal Lake or visit nearby markets. Stay: Srinagar.
Day 2: Srinagar to Sonamarg, the Meadow of Gold
Drive about 80 km (2.5–3 hours) past Kashmiri villages to Sonamarg, with the Sindh River beside you. Optionally head towards Thajiwas Glacier, depending on season and snow; see our guide to Thajiwas Glacier at Sonamarg. Ponies and local activities cost extra. Return to Srinagar for dinner. Stay: Srinagar.
Day 3: Srinagar to Gulmarg, the Meadow of Flowers
Drive about 52 km (1.5–2 hours) to Gulmarg through pine-lined roads. Check in, then explore the meadows. The optional Gulmarg Gondola takes you towards Kongdori and Apharwat; tickets are separate and weather-dependent. Stay: Gulmarg.
Day 4: Gulmarg to Pahalgam
A 4–5 hour scenic drive with short stops for refreshments and photos, depending on road conditions. Check in, then walk beside the Lidder River or rest. Stay: Pahalgam.
Day 5: Pahalgam sightseeing
- Betaab Valley: a green valley of streams and mountain views, ideal for photographs.
- Aru Valley: open meadows, pine forests and quiet Himalayan views.
- Lidder River and Pahalgam town: an easy riverside walk and local market.
Some points need local union taxis or ponies at extra cost. Chandanwari and Baisaran Valley (‘Mini Switzerland’) are on official closure lists as of November 2026, so we do not schedule them. If they reopen, we add them back. Stay: Pahalgam.
Day 6: Pahalgam to Srinagar, gardens and shopping
Drive back to Srinagar (about 2.5 hours). In the afternoon visit Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh and Chashme Shahi, then shop for handicrafts and dry fruits. An optional evening shikara ride is a good way to end the trip. Stay: Srinagar.
Day 7: Departure
After breakfast, our driver takes you to Srinagar airport for your flight. Allow about three hours before departure.

Is Kashmir safe for Mysuru families right now?
The main circuit of Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam town and Sonamarg has stayed open through 2026, with more checkpoints and registered service providers since the 22 April 2025 attack at Baisaran. Visitor numbers fell sharply afterwards and have recovered gradually. Travel with a registered operator, drive in daylight, carry photo ID, visit Betaab and Aru Valley in the morning and check J&K Tourism advisories before you fly.
Why choose Marahib Travels for a Kashmir tour package from Mysore?
Travellers rate Marahib Travels 4.9 because we build a Mysuru trip backwards from the Bengaluru flight instead of copying a Delhi template: we plan a realistic arrival-day evening, one long drive a day and a cab sized to your group. We tell you in writing which places are open on your dates, which is why Baisaran is not on our itinerary, and we state up front what the Gondola, local taxis and ponies will cost on top. Our Kashmir-based team stays on call through the trip, from the airport pickup to your drop on departure day.
