Kolkata to Kashmir Tour Packages

CCU flights or the long train north, then houseboats, old Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg over six days.

Kolkata to Kashmir: heritage, food and slow evenings

For travellers from Bengal who want old Srinagar, the Mughal gardens and a proper Wazwan as much as the gondola photo. Our Srinagar team starts the trip at the airport with a private car and plans each day around how you actually arrive.

Couples and honeymooners get the same route at a slower pace: a houseboat night, a Shikara at dusk and a night by the river in Pahalgam. Families can use it too. Other themes are on our Kashmir tour packages hub.

Getting from Kolkata to Srinagar

As of October 2026, IndiGo lists a nonstop Kolkata–Srinagar flight in some schedules, but the operating days and timings differ between sources. Check the live schedule on the airline site when you book. If there is no nonstop on your date, the usual plan is a morning flight to Delhi and a connection to Srinagar, which adds a few hours.

Some guests prefer the train to Jammu Tawi, a long journey of well over a day, and then the road or train up to Srinagar. If you come this way, add a day at each end. We do not include air or rail tickets unless you ask us to; the package starts at Srinagar. For the full set of routes, see how to reach Kashmir.

For couples and honeymooners from Kolkata

For a honeymoon from Kolkata we change three things: the first night is on a houseboat with a Shikara at sunset, Pahalgam becomes an overnight stay by the Lidder instead of a day trip, and the Gulmarg day starts early to get ahead of the gondola queue. The Kashmir honeymoon package starts from ₹33,000 per person, twin share, and the Pahalgam couples package is the quieter option if you want more time by the river. Our honeymoon by season guide explains which months suit which kind of trip.

When to travel from Bengal

October, around Durga Puja, is one of the best times: clear skies, cool nights and the chinars turning red and gold. It is also a busy holiday window, so book early. Spring brings the gardens and the tulips, and winter brings snow in Gulmarg. Our best time to visit Kashmir guide goes month by month.

The 6-day heritage route

Day 1: Arrival and a Shikara at sunset

Arrive by air or after the train and road journey. Check into a heritage houseboat and take a Shikara on Dal Lake in the evening light.

Day 2: The heart of Shehr-e-Khaas

A walking day in downtown Srinagar: the wooden pillars of Jamia Masjid and the papier-mâché of Khanqah-e-Moula (Shah-e-Hamdan).

Day 3: The Mughal gardens

Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh, with their terraced charbagh layout and fountains. See our Mughal gardens guide.

Day 4: Pahalgam

Drive to Pahalgam, stopping at the Awantipora temple ruins on the way. Evening by the Lidder. Couples usually stay the night here.

Day 5: Gulmarg

Drive to Gulmarg and take the gondola if the weather allows. Our gondola booking guide explains tickets and phases.

Day 6: Wazwan and departure

A last Kashmiri Wazwan lunch, with rogan josh and gushtaba, before the transfer to the airport.

Questions from Kolkata travellers

As of October 2026, IndiGo lists a nonstop CCU–SXR flight in some schedules, but the days and timings differ between sources. Check the current schedule when you book. Many travellers still connect via Delhi, which adds a few hours.

Six days is comfortable. The flight day takes most of a morning, so a five-day trip only works with an early arrival and a late departure.

Yes. October brings clear days, cool nights and the chinar trees turning colour. It is also a busy holiday window from Bengal, so book flights and houseboats early.

We would add a houseboat night, a sunset Shikara and a night in Pahalgam by the Lidder instead of a day trip. Our Kashmir honeymoon package starts from ₹33,000 per person, twin share.

Not really. Wazwan uses less mustard oil and heat and leans on fennel, dried ginger and mild Kashmiri chilli. Trout from the Lidder is the local fish in Pahalgam.

We take guests to GI-tagged weavers in downtown Srinagar rather than tourist-market shops.

The main ones are Shankaracharya, on the hill above Dal Lake, and Kheer Bhawani at Tulmulla, dedicated to Ragnya Devi.

Light woollens for the day and a proper jacket for the evenings, when Srinagar can drop to around 5°C.

Flight information checked on 2 October 2026. Airline schedules change; confirm on the airline website before booking.
