Kashmir from Pune
Kashmir tour packages from Pune.
Pune has no year-round direct flight to Srinagar, so the trip starts with a choice: connect through Delhi, or drive to Mumbai for the direct flight. Here is how to decide.
Flight
Via Delhi or Mumbai
Door to door
6 to 9 hours
Ideal length
6 nights
By train
Jhelum Express to Jammu
The short answer
Connect through Delhi, and plan at least six nights.
Most Pune travellers fly to Srinagar with one connection, usually through Delhi, which takes six to nine hours door to door. Some prefer the three-hour drive to Mumbai for a direct flight. Either way, the travel days are long, so a six-night trip gives you five real days in Kashmir. We arrange flights on request at the live fare.

Getting from Pune to Kashmir
Check whether any seasonal direct flight is running for your dates; otherwise, a morning connection through Delhi is the most reliable way to reach Srinagar the same afternoon.
We time your first day around your arrival: an afternoon shikara if you land early, straight to the hotel if you land late.
| Option | Route | Door to Srinagar |
|---|---|---|
| Flight via Delhi | Pune (PNQ) to Delhi to Srinagar | 6 to 9 h with the connection |
| Drive + direct flight | Pune to Mumbai airport by road (≈ 3 h), then direct to Srinagar | 7 to 8 h |
| Train | Jhelum Express, Pune to Jammu Tawi, then Vande Bharat to Srinagar | About 2 days |
We book flights on request and quote the live fare alongside the package, so you see the full cost before paying anything. We do not publish a flight-inclusive price because fares change every day.
When to go from Pune
Pune travellers book heavily around the May school holidays and Diwali. October, just before Diwali, is the sweet spot: autumn colour, clear skies and lower rates. For snow, choose January or February and allow a buffer day before your flight home.
Planning tips for Pune travellers
- Book a later return flight from Srinagar so a connection in Delhi has room to spare.
- Spend the last night in Srinagar, not Pahalgam, so the airport is 30 minutes away.
- Vegetarian and Maharashtrian-style requests: tell us, and we brief hotels before you arrive.
Compare your starting options
Catalogue starting prices for land arrangements on twin-sharing, excluding flights. The two-adult figure is twice the per-person baseline, not a confirmed quote. Dates, room category and availability can change the total. Ask for named hotels, taxes, child charges and local sightseeing extras in writing.
| Itinerary | Duration | Route | Per adult from | Two adults from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kashmir Grand Tour | 6 nights / 7 days | Srinagar → Sonamarg → Gulmarg → Pahalgam → Doodhpathri | ₹18,500 | ₹37,000 |
| Kashmir with Family | 6 nights / 7 days | Srinagar → Doodhpathri → Gulmarg → Pahalgam | ₹17,500 | ₹35,000 |
| Kashmir Honeymoon | 5 nights / 6 days | Srinagar → Gulmarg → Pahalgam | ₹16,500 | ₹33,000 |
