Direct answer: from Gujarat the quickest way to Kashmir is the Ahmedabad–Srinagar nonstop flight, about 2 hours 10 minutes, which runs on most days in winter. From Vadodara, Surat and other Gujarat airports you fly with one stop, usually Delhi or Mumbai. By rail, trains run from Ahmedabad to Jammu Tawi in about 24 to 32 hours, and the Vande Bharat continues to Srinagar. Plan six days in Kashmir after you land. Our 2026 packages start at Srinagar 4 days ₹12,999, Gulmarg 4 days ₹16,999 and Pahalgam 5 days ₹19,999 per person on 2 sharing, flights or train extra.
Flights, trains and winter notes last checked 14 Nov 2026.
Ahmedabad (AMD). When we checked on 14 November 2026, December listings showed an IndiGo nonstop leaving Ahmedabad at 12:35 and landing in Srinagar at 14:45 on most days, and a SpiceJet nonstop at 08:55 on some days. On a day without a nonstop, connect via Delhi. Our Ahmedabad page has the Ahmedabad plan.
Vadodara (BDQ). One stop, usually Delhi. A 07:10 IndiGo departure connected in Delhi and landed in Srinagar at 14:00, and a 07:35 Air India departure landed at 13:35 with Air India Express. Some families drive to Ahmedabad for the nonstop instead.
Surat (STV), Rajkot and the rest of Gujarat. One stop via Mumbai or Delhi; see Kashmir tour package from Surat. Whichever airport you use, avoid the last flight of the day into Srinagar in winter, because it is the one fog and snow hold first. Check the airline for current timings before you book.
The daily 19223 Ahmedabad–Jammu Tawi Express leaves Ahmedabad at 11:05 and reaches Jammu Tawi at about 18:40 the next day, around 31 hours. A few weekly superfast trains from Saurashtra stop at Ahmedabad in the afternoon and reach Jammu Tawi and Katra in about 24 to 25 hours. The Swaraj Express does not stop in Ahmedabad; it runs from Mumbai through Surat and Vadodara. Check current timings on NTES or IRCTC before you book, because railway timetables change.
From Jammu Tawi the Vande Bharat runs to Srinagar twice on most days: 06:20 (not Tuesdays) and 13:20, arriving 18:00 (not Wednesdays), the Ministry of Railways said (PIB). If your train reaches Jammu in the evening, sleep in Jammu and take the morning train, or come up NH44 with our Jammu to Srinagar taxi. By road the whole way, Ahmedabad is about 1,520 km from Srinagar, so most families fly or take the train.
Tell us how many guests need Jain food (no onion, no garlic, and whether root vegetables are allowed) and how many need plain vegetarian. We check each hotel and houseboat kitchen on the route for your dates and name on the quote the ones that can do it. If a property cannot, we change the hotel before you pay, not after you arrive. Valley-day lunches are the hard meal, so many families carry thepla and khakhra. Full detail: Kashmir tour with Jain food.
Kashmir in December and January is far colder than anything in Gujarat. On 14 November 2026 Gulmarg recorded minus 1.6°C after a day of rain and snow on the higher reaches, the Meteorological Centre Srinagar said, as Kashmir Reader reported, and it gets colder through Chillai Kalan, which starts on 21 December. Pack proper layers, gloves and shoes with grip; see what to wear in Kashmir in winter. We confirm room heating before we book.
Heavy snow can stop flights for a day: all Srinagar flights were cancelled on 27 January 2026, PTI reported, while on 23 January 2026 the Vande Bharat kept running through the snow, The Indian Express reported. Keep one spare day at the end. See Srinagar airport in winter and the winter road guide.
Day 1. Arrive in Srinagar. Airport or station pickup, a heated hotel or houseboat with a kitchen we have checked, and nothing else.
Day 2. Gulmarg. The snow day. A same-day return car is ₹2,500 in a Toyota Etios or Swift Dzire and ₹3,500 in an Innova Crysta. Gondola tickets are bought on the official site; see Gulmarg Gondola booking.
Day 3 and 4. Pahalgam. By the Lidder, with Betaab and Aru by union taxi when the road is clear; see Pahalgam in winter. Baisaran and Chandanwari are on the official closed list until at least 31 December 2026, so we do not plan them.
Day 5. Srinagar. A shikara at midday and the gardens, or Sonamarg if the road is open.
Day 6. Fly or take the train home. A morning departure so a delay does not cost the onward connection.
Large joint family? Seven or more guests usually travel in a Force Urbania instead of two cars.
