In short

Does a flight go direct from Pune to Srinagar?

The sources we read on 6 November 2026 do not agree, so we would treat a Pune nonstop as unconfirmed until the airline says otherwise. Skyscanner's Pune page says in its FAQ that currently no airlines fly direct and counts no flights per week, offering journeys with one or more stops, yet deal cards further down the same page label some Akasa Air outbound flights as direct, for example one on Tuesday 8 December. Momondo's summary line lists direct flights from Tuesday to Sunday, but its quickest time of 3 h 40 min matches its own stopover table, where flights connecting via Amritsar have the shortest average one-way travel time, 3 h 40 min, and its sample listing for that time shows one stop at Amritsar. The page does not say whether that is a through flight, so we make no claim either way.

Momondo also reports New Delhi as the busiest stopover, with 94% of its customers on one-stop trips connecting there, and that Amritsar has the shortest average stop at 53 minutes. Its top three airlines on the route are IndiGo, SpiceJet and Akasa Air. On the cheapest month, Momondo says February and Skyscanner says January. We print no fares, because they change daily. Momondo shows a direct flight every day from Mumbai, which some Pune travellers compare; our Mumbai guide has the details.

Send us the flight you choose, and we plan the first and last days around its times. Our ticket booking desk can help with the tickets, and a driver-cum-guide can meet you at the airport.

How long is the Pune to Jammu train?

ConfirmTkt's Pune to Katra page lists the 11077 Jhelum Express, shown as a daily train, which leaves Pune 17:20 and arrives Jammu Tawi 10:00 two days later, for 40 h 40 min in all. Cleartrip's route page puts Pune about 2,203 km from Srinagar, 33 h 20 min by car, and describes a train to New Delhi taking 27 h 40 min or a train-and-bus route of 49 h 17 min. From Katra, ConfirmTkt shows the Vande Bharat 26401 leaving at 08:10 and arriving at 11:10; News On AIR (30 April 2026) said the train, once ending at Katra, now runs on to Jammu Tawi. For a pilgrimage first, see Katra rooms for Vaishno Devi.

How do Pune's mild nights compare with Srinagar's?

Wikipedia's tables of 1991 to 2020 normals show Pune's daily lows staying well above Srinagar's in every month we picked:

MonthPune, high and lowSrinagar, high and low
January29.8 and 11.2 °C7.1 and −1.9 °C
April37.9 and 19.9 °C20.6 and 7.9 °C
May37.3 and 22.9 °C24.7 and 11.2 °C
October31.5 and 19.0 °C23.0 and 6.2 °C
December29.5 and 11.8 °C9.9 and −1.6 °C

So the change to plan for is the cold at night. A Free Press Journal report of 30 March 2026 says Maharashtra's Directorate of Education fixed 2 May as the first day of 2026 summer holidays for state board schools, with everyone back on 15 June. We have not seen the next break's dates, and other boards may differ. For the seasons side by side read best time to visit Kashmir, and Kashmir in winter if snow is the goal.

  • Which flight you are weighing, and whether it connects at Amritsar, New Delhi or elsewhere.
  • Your dates and how many days you can spare, counting the journey.
  • Who is travelling, including children, elders and any mobility limits.
  • Any food rule, so that each kitchen can be asked before you pay.
  • Whether you want the plan to end in Srinagar or continue to Jammu.

Where do the facts on this page come from?

Flight facts come from the Skyscanner and Momondo route pages for Pune to Srinagar, route figures from Cleartrip, and train times from ConfirmTkt's Pune to Katra and Katra to Srinagar pages, all read on 6 November 2026. The Vande Bharat change comes from News On AIR (30 April 2026) and the school dates from Free Press Journal (30 March 2026). Temperatures are Wikipedia's climate tables for Pune and Srinagar. Pages and timetables change, so confirm what decides your booking with the airline or IRCTC.
