Kashmir Tour Package from Gujarat: Flights, Trains, Groups

Which airport in Gujarat has a direct flight to Srinagar?

Only Ahmedabad does, going by the route pages we read on 6 November 2026. Skyscanner counts 14 flights a week there, averaging 2 h 11 min, with SpiceJet, IndiGo and Hahn Air Systems named as the airlines. Momondo gives Tuesday to Sunday as the direct days and 2 h 10 min as the quickest flight. Skyscanner's pages for Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot (airport name Hirasar) say no airline flies direct.

Every one of the four has a direct flight to Delhi on Skyscanner, averaging 1 h 51 min from Surat, 1 h 49 min from Rajkot, 1 h 39 min from Vadodara and 1 h 41 min from Ahmedabad. Momondo shows Delhi to Srinagar direct every day, quickest 1 h 20 min. Its Surat page gives a fastest flight of 8 h 20 min in the summary and a one-stop sample of 5 h 25 min further down, so ask the airline for the through time on your date. The sites disagree on the cheapest month, so we print no fares.

Travellers from Surat who want the nonstop final leg can weigh a trip to Ahmedabad first; Cleartrip puts the bus at 5 h 16 min. Our ticket booking desk can compare options, and the Srinagar airport taxi can meet whichever landing time you hold. For the change itself, see our Delhi page.

Which trains run from Gujarat to Katra or Jammu Tawi?

ConfirmTkt's pages for the four cities list four trains, only one of them daily. These are the times it printed on 6 November 2026.

Six of these seven departures run once a week, so a missed day costs a week. From Katra, ConfirmTkt shows the Vande Bharat 26401 leaving at 08:10 and reaching Srinagar at 11:10, 3 h 00 min for 191 km. News On AIR reported on 30 April 2026 that this train now starts at Jammu Tawi, with 20 coaches instead of eight. ConfirmTkt lists the 26401 leaving Jammu Tawi at 06:20 (Monday, Wednesday to Sunday) and the 26403 leaving at 13:20 for Srinagar at 18:05 (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday to Sunday).

Pilgrims will find the shrine and the valley joined in the Vaishno Devi Kashmir Tour, and rooms in Katra cover the night before the climb. Anyone who ends at Jammu Tawi can continue by road with the Jammu to Srinagar taxi.

When do Gujarat schools close, and how does the weather compare?

The state board calendar for this school year gives 21 days of Diwali vacation, 5 to 25 November 2026, and a 35-day summer break running 3 May to 6 June 2027. DeshGujarat reported both on 3 May 2026; its second semester runs from 26 November 2026 to 2 May 2027. Other boards and private schools may follow different dates.

These are Wikipedia's monthly averages; its tables also give July rain of 310.1 mm for Ahmedabad and 466.3 mm for Surat against 64.0 mm for Srinagar. The Diwali weeks bring Srinagar nights near 1.2 °C, and the May break swaps Ahmedabad's 27.3 °C nights for 11.2 °C ones. Our guide to the best time to visit Kashmir covers the rest of the year, and Kashmir in winter the snow months.

Which cab or tempo traveller suits a Gujarat group?

Seat count decides it. These are Soun Kashmir's listed rates, each with a driver-cum-guide and with fuel, parking, tolls and driver allowance.

These are cab rates, not package prices; the route, the days and the season set the final amount. Larger parties can read our group tour page and 17-seater tempo traveller page.

Which listed Soun Kashmir trip fits which Gujarat party?

Each amount is a listed price for the land arrangements and leaves out flights and train tickets. Group size and dates move the final figure, and the free written quote shows it before you pay. A late connection eats into a short plan, so the five-day or longer trips leave more slack. Other starting points are in our city-by-city guide. To compare the ways into the valley, read our guide on how to reach Kashmir, and see every listed trip with its price in the Kashmir tour package price list.

Can a Jain or vegetarian family eat well in Kashmir?

Wikipedia says strict Jains avoid root vegetables such as potatoes and onions and observe a fast after sunset called Chauvihar. It calls Kashmiri cuisine generally meat-heavy, and adds that Pandit-style cooking uses asafoetida where Muslim cooking uses onions, garlic and shallots. Our Kashmiri food guide explains the dishes. Ask each hotel or houseboat kitchen whether it can cook to your rule before you pay.

• Put the rule in your first message, with the number of travellers who follow it.
• Say whether you eat only before sunset, since that sets the timing of dinner and of the long drives.
• Ask for each kitchen's answer in the quote, stay by stay.

Can the trip include Vaishno Devi, Amarnath or Ladakh?

Yes, three listed trips join them to the valley. The Vaishno Devi Kashmir Tour runs seven days from Jammu and Katra into Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam at ₹18,350. The Kashmir Ladakh Tour, ten days at ₹21,550, goes on through Kargil to Leh, Pangong and Nubra. More yatra trips are on the Vaishno Devi and Amarnath packages page, and the Ladakh options on the combo page.

What should you send before we quote a trip from Gujarat?

1. 1Your home city and the dates you can travel, with a fallback week.
2. 2The number of adults, children and elders, and how many rooms or families that makes.
3. 3Any food rule, such as Jain, vegetarian or no onion and garlic.
4. 4How you plan to arrive: a flight with a change, the Ahmedabad nonstop or a train to Katra.

Where do the facts on this page come from?

On 6 November 2026 we read Skyscanner's route pages for Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot to Srinagar and to Delhi, Momondo's pages for Ahmedabad, Surat and Delhi to Srinagar, and Cleartrip's four distance pages. Train times come from ConfirmTkt and its schedules for the 26401 and 26403, and the Vande Bharat extension from News On AIR (30 April 2026). School dates come from DeshGujarat (3 May 2026), temperatures and rain from Wikipedia's tables for Ahmedabad, Surat and Srinagar, and the food notes from Wikipedia's pages on Jain vegetarianism and Kashmiri cuisine. Cab rates and trip prices are Soun Kashmir's own listed ones. Timetables change, so confirm with the airline or IRCTC when you book.
