Kashmir Tour Package from Guwahati: Flights, Trains and Trips

Can you fly from Guwahati to Srinagar without a change?

Neither Kayak nor Skyscanner shows one. Kayak's route page says nothing flies direct at the moment, and Skyscanner says the same. There is one exception to check: Kayak's recent one-way deals include a SpiceJet flight on 2 December, out at 08:55 and in at 14:15 (5 h 20 min), tagged as direct. Confirm it on the airline's site for your date. Kayak says most connecting itineraries pass through New Delhi.

Treat those as five samples from Kayak's list (read 8 November 2026); your dates will give other times, and the list also holds slower itineraries, 20 h 25 min (two stops) and 23 h 55 min (one stop). Kayak found New Delhi had the shortest average layover of the past three months on this route, 5 h 27 min. The airport lies at Borjhar, 28 km out of Guwahati on Wikipedia's account, so allow for the transfer.

We print no fares here, because they change. Skyscanner advises booking about 40 days ahead and, when read, named Air India Express as the cheapest airline. Kayak's twelve-month averages for this route put Thursday departures well below Friday ones, so shifting a day can change the fare. Our ticket booking service can book tickets with your trip: tell us your city and dates and we send the options and the fares.

Which train runs from Guwahati towards Kashmir?

One service appears on ConfirmTkt's Guwahati to Katra page: the Lohit Express (15651), a Monday train out of Kamakhya at 14:20. Its table takes it to Jammu Tawi, arriving at 13:00 on Wednesday after 46 h 40 min. Cleartrip estimates 47 h 25 min for Guwahati (GHY) to Jammu Tawi, so the pages differ and IRCTC holds the live timetable and seats.

From Jammu Tawi the Vande Bharat to Srinagar takes about 4 h 50 min for its whole run and calls at Katra on the way. Each Vande Bharat train skips one day: the 26401 and 26402 do not run on Tuesday, and the 26403 and 26404 not on Wednesday. A Lohit Express passenger reaches Jammu Tawi on Wednesday at 13:00, when the 26403 does not run and the 26401 has gone at 06:20, so budget a night in Jammu and verify the dates on IRCTC before booking either. If you want the shrine on the way, our Vaishno Devi Kashmir Tour shows one order. For every other route in, read how to reach Kashmir.

How far is Srinagar from Guwahati?

Cleartrip's road figure is roughly 2,585.59 km, or 38 h 32 min at the wheel. ConfirmTkt measures about 2,340 km by rail as far as Katra. In the air, time matters more than distance: the sample flights span 5 h 20 min up to 11 h 00 min, and Kayak also lists itineraries of 20 h 25 min (two stops) and 23 h 55 min (one stop). Most connections run through New Delhi.

Which is better from Guwahati, the plane or the train?

All times are one way and come from the sources already cited. Kayak's flight totals include the connection, whereas the train figures exclude any wait between legs.

How does a Guwahati start compare with Kolkata's?

Cleartrip and Kayak give the same measures for both cities. Their sample dates differ, so take the flight row as a guide only.

Road distance and Cleartrip's train time both make Guwahati the longer start, and Kayak's typical returns from there sit higher. If Kolkata is within easy reach, our Kolkata departure guide covers that start, and the Delhi guide covers the Delhi route. Our valley trips begin in Srinagar, so listed prices cover the land part from there.

When are fares high, and where do Bihu and Puja fall?

The fare sites disagree on the cheapest month. Skyscanner names February, and its FAQ adds that December is usually cheapest, while Kayak names July, with January as its low season and October its high season. Skyscanner's lowest listed fares, all one-way flights with a stop, are lower for November to March than for April, May, July and October, and it lists nothing for June, August or September. Skyscanner offers no reason for the gap, so do not assume the festivals explain it. Wikipedia places these festivals:

• Bhogali (Magh) Bihu: mid-January.
• Bohag (Rongali) Bihu: around 14 to 15 April.
• Kati (Kongali) Bihu: mid-October.
• Durga Puja: 16 to 21 October in 2026, and the dates move each year with the Hindu lunisolar calendar.

In festival weeks look at the days on either side of your dates and reserve early; Skyscanner itself suggests about 40 days ahead. Your school's circular is the guide for holiday dates.

How far apart are Guwahati and Srinagar in weather?

At Guwahati's airport the daily high averages 31.3 °C in October and 23.9 °C in January (Wikipedia, 1991 to 2020); Srinagar's figures sit alongside:

In December the average daily high is 25.4 °C at Guwahati and 9.9 °C in Srinagar, so pack for Srinagar and not for home; our packing list helps. The seasonal guide goes month by month, so you can read up on April and October, the months of Bohag and Kati Bihu, and the winter guide covers snow.

Which Soun Kashmir trip suits a party from Assam and the North-East?

Each listed price covers sightseeing, hotel, meals and cab, and tickets are extra; the written quote names the hotels, the meal plan and the cab. The journey from Guwahati fills much of the first and last days, so we would start at five days, and the four-day trip suits only a couple who cannot spare longer. If you arrive by Vande Bharat, give us the train number and ask if a station pickup can be quoted.

What do we need from you?

1. 1Dates, and whether Bihu, Puja or school terms fix them.
2. 2A flight, the Lohit Express to Jammu, or a Rajdhani to Delhi followed by a flight.
3. 3Everyone's ages and any need for a slower pace.
4. 4Any food preferences or restrictions.
5. 5Your tickets as soon as you have them.

Every other city is in the city-by-city guide. When you are ready, contact Soun Kashmir with your dates and party size, and our tour planners give free quotes.

Where do the facts on this page come from?

For the same trip from other angles: the price list shows what the listed trips cost.

Kayak's and Skyscanner's Guwahati to Srinagar pages, Kayak's Kolkata page, ConfirmTkt's Guwahati to Katra and Guwahati to New Delhi pages, Cleartrip's route pages and a Momondo sample were read on 8 November 2026, with climate normals and festival dates from Wikipedia. Aggregators are not timetables, so ask the operator to confirm before you travel.
