Kashmir Tour Package from Raipur: Flights, Trains and Trips

Does Raipur have a nonstop flight to Srinagar?

Not according to Skyscanner. Its page says no airline currently flies Raipur to Srinagar direct and finds flights with one or more changes (read 8 November 2026). The same page says Air India currently offers the cheapest tickets, that flights are currently cheapest in November and that the cheapest time to book looks to be around 40 days ahead. MakeMyTrip's page for 17 December 2026 shows eight itineraries with one stop, all at New Delhi, the longest 19 h 30 min. Four of them are tabled below. We print no fares, because fares change with the date.

On the 5 h 40 min itinerary you land at Terminal T2 in New Delhi at 09:55, and the second flight departs from Terminal T1 at 12:10 and touches down in Srinagar at 13:35, so look for the terminal change on your ticket. On that pair Raipur to Delhi takes 2 h and Delhi to Srinagar 1 h 25 min.

Which cities does Raipur fly to, and which hub works best?

On Wikipedia's list IndiGo serves 16 destinations from Raipur, including Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai, while Air India serves Delhi. Sample listings on MakeMyTrip and Momondo give these nonstop times.

All four tabled itineraries connect at New Delhi, so start your search there; another hub is worth a look when its fare or day suits you, once you have checked its onward flight to Srinagar. A list of destinations is not a timetable. For the Delhi end of the trip, read our Delhi guide. If you live in Durg or Bhilai, Wikipedia says Raipur's urban transport society runs air-conditioned buses from the airport to Bhilai and Durg via Raipur, and that the airport is 16 km from Raipur Junction station.

What does ConfirmTkt show for trains from Raipur, Durg and Bilaspur?

On ConfirmTkt, both the Raipur and the Bilaspur pages for Katra show a lone train for Tuesday 10 November 2026, the 12549 (labelled DURG MCTM SF), and the schedule page has the run starting at Durg. It ends at Martyr Captain Tushar Mahajan (MCTM), the Udhampur station, at 20:05. Those pages word the arrival as Katra, yet the schedule shows a call at Jammu Tawi (arriving 17:43, leaving 17:50) just before that last stop, and none of its listed stops is Katra.

All three reach Udhampur at 20:05. Check the running days on IRCTC before relying on this train, since ConfirmTkt only shows Tuesday for the date it displays. Fares by class move with the date, so ask IRCTC for yours.

The 12549 does not itself reach Srinagar. ConfirmTkt lists the Vande Bharat 26401 leaving Jammu Tawi at 06:20 and reaching Srinagar at 11:10. Before you build a plan on the 12549, check on IRCTC the leg from Udhampur or Jammu Tawi to Katra and which Vande Bharat runs on your date. Katra doubles as the base for the Vaishno Devi yatra, and our Katra rooms page covers where to stay.

Flight, train or road from Raipur: which suits you?

A flight lands in Srinagar. A train needs an onward leg to Srinagar. If you take one, give us its number and ask whether a pickup at the station can be quoted. Our guide on how to reach Kashmir compares the ways in.

Would Nagpur or Bhopal be a better starting point?

Cleartrip gives Raipur to Nagpur as about 283 km, 4 h 12 min by car and 4 h 45 min by train, and Raipur to Bhopal as about 634 km, 9 h 10 min by car and 13 h 55 min by train. The nonstop from Raipur to Delhi runs 2 h 05 min in the MakeMyTrip sample above, so a detour pays off only when a fare or a weekday is clearly better from the other city. For what leaves from those cities, see our Nagpur guide and Bhopal guide.

How much cooler is Srinagar than Raipur?

These are Wikipedia's 1991 to 2020 average daily highs. Srinagar's average December high sits 18.6 °C under Raipur's, so pack for winter even if Raipur is warm on departure day. Boards and schools differ, so use your children's own calendar. Our guides to the best time to visit Kashmir, Kashmir in winter and the packing list go into more detail.

How many days do you need from Raipur?

Count the journey as part of the trip. A 13:35 arrival saves some of the first afternoon, a night flight leaving at 21:45 lands at 08:10 the following morning, and a train adds the onward leg. We suggest at least five days from Raipur: the Kashmir Family Trip covers Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonmarg in five days, and the four-day Gulmarg Tour Package is the short-leave option.
