Kashmir Tour Package from Nepal: Flights, Entry, Advice

How do Nepali travellers reach Srinagar by air?

There is no direct service. When we read Skyscanner's Kathmandu to Srinagar page on 6 November 2026 it listed no airline on the route and no flights running this month, only journeys with one or more stops, which start at £219 (the lowest fare in its information box was £136). The box names January as the cheapest month and the question section names November. Returns for next month began at £252, and the page again suggests booking about 40 days ahead. Fares are in pounds, not Nepali rupees.

Kathmandu to India is a short hop, and two direct routes matter to a Kashmir trip.

Momondo shows a flight from Delhi to Srinagar every day, 1 h 20 min at best, so Delhi is the easier link; our Delhi page covers it. From Kolkata, Momondo lists a direct flight on Wednesday and Saturday, quickest 4 h 30 min, while Skyscanner says nobody flies Kolkata to Srinagar nonstop, so check the airline; the Kolkata page explains the dispute. We can help with two separate bookings through our ticket booking service.

Does a Nepali citizen need an Indian visa?

This is the one country in the group where the answer is different, and the source is an official one. The visa page of the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu, opened on 6 November 2026, begins its introductory information with this sentence: "Except Bhutan & Nepal Nationals all foreign nationals including children MUST obtain a visa to travel to India". The country list on the Indian e-Visa portal, read the same day, runs from Nauru to the Netherlands with no entry for Nepal. We take no further step from either page, and the embassy's wording is the one to rely on.

Wikipedia's page on the border adds that it is open, and that Nepali and Indian nationals do not need passports or visas to enter each other's countries. The embassy's separate page on valid travel documents covers Indian nationals flying between the two countries and lists only a passport or an original voter ID card. We found no official page on what a Nepali citizen should carry on a flight, so ask your airline which identity document it will accept before you buy, and carry it.

What are Britain and Canada telling travellers about Jammu and Kashmir?

Below is how two governments word their advice, as read on 6 November 2026; we dispute neither. On the FCDO India page, which was marked current that day and had been revised on 7 October 2026, the advice is against all travel to Jammu and Kashmir, which it calls a Union Territory. Srinagar city, Pahalgam, Gulmarg, Sonamarg and the highway from Jammu appear in brackets, and the only exceptions are travel by air to and from Jammu city and travel within it. A separate line says your insurance could be invalidated when a trip goes against the advice.

The Canadian page, dated 2 November 2026, labels the Union Territory avoid all travel. The reason given is an unpredictable security situation, with terrorism, militancy, civil unrest and kidnapping listed among the threats, and Ladakh is stated to be outside the advisory. We read no advice from the Government of Nepal, and the US State Department page was not opened. Ask your insurer for written confirmation.

How does Kathmandu's weather compare with Kashmir's?

These are Wikipedia's 1991 to 2020 normals. Kathmandu and Srinagar are close in July, while in October Srinagar's average low is 6.2 °C against 13.9 °C, and in December it sinks below freezing where Kathmandu stays above 4 °C. Wikipedia describes Dashain as a 15-day festival in September or October, with the 2026 observance beginning on 11 October. We found no school calendar we could quote. For clothing, the packing list and the winter guide help.

Which of our trips would suit a family from Kathmandu?

We list the ground part of each trip: stays, driver and the sightseeing in the route. Flights and insurance are your own purchases. Ask for the quote in writing; it should show the total for your party and dates. Because the flight from Kathmandu is short, a four-day trip is possible, though we would still keep a spare day for weather.

What should you send first?

• The dates and whether you travel via Delhi or Kolkata.
• Everyone's age and relationship to you.
• Which identity document each traveller will carry.
• Diet needs, so the kitchens along the route can plan.
• The time you will land in Srinagar.

Where do the facts on this page come from?

Behind the facts above sit pages that were read on 6 November 2026. Skyscanner supplies fares and flight counts through its Kathmandu pages to Srinagar, Delhi and Kolkata, and Momondo supplies the onward flights from Delhi and Kolkata. Entry: the visa page and the valid travel documents page of the Embassy of India in Kathmandu, the Indian e-Visa portal, and Wikipedia's page on the border. Advice: the British and Canadian governments. Weather and Dashain: Wikipedia. Aggregators gather offers, so confirm each flight with the airline.
