How often do direct flights run from Ahmedabad?

On six days of the week, according to Momondo, whose route page we read on 6 November 2026: Tuesday to Sunday, with a quickest time of 2 h 10 min. Skyscanner counted 14 flights a week and an average flight of 2 h 11 min, and named SpiceJet, IndiGo and Hahn Air Systems among the airlines flying direct. On Momondo's booking data IndiGo takes 58% and SpiceJet 31%. Because the pages are aggregators, the airline's timetable is the final word on which days operate.

The sites split on the cheapest month, Momondo choosing August and Skyscanner November, and Skyscanner suggests booking around 40 days ahead. We print no fares, as they change daily. Our ticket booking desk can look at options, and a driver-cum-guide can be arranged through Srinagar airport taxi.

Is there a train from Ahmedabad that goes to Katra?

Yes. ConfirmTkt's Ahmedabad to Katra page lists three trains. The 19223, a Sabarmati to Katra express, is the daily one: it leaves at 10:25 and arrives at 18:55 on the following day, 32 h 30 min later. The other two run on Saturdays only, the 12473 Sarvodaya Express from Ahmedabad Junction at 14:20 (27 h 30 min, the fastest listed) and the 19027, which leaves at 19:00 and reaches Jammu Tawi at 23:25 (28 h 25 min). Cleartrip's route page describes other options: 13 h 50 min on a train to New Delhi, or a train, taxi and bus combination that reaches Srinagar in 41 h 9 min, of which 28 h 35 min is the train to Udhampur. It puts the distance at about 1,783 km.

From Katra, ConfirmTkt shows the Vande Bharat 26401 leaving at 08:10 and arriving in Srinagar at 11:10, 3 h 00 min later. News On AIR reported on 30 April 2026 that the train would now run on to Jammu Tawi, where it once ended at Katra. Pilgrims will find the shrine and the valley joined in our Vaishno Devi Kashmir Tour, and Katra rooms for Vaishno Devi covers the night before the climb.

What should we know about your meals?

Say what you eat and avoid when you enquire. Ask each hotel or houseboat kitchen what it can prepare for that rule before you pay, because no menu can be promised on your behalf. Vegetarian, Jain and other requirements are easier to meet when the kitchen knows in advance, so send them with your dates.
