Delhi to Kashmir is one of the shortest escapes from a metro city in India — a 1.5-hour direct flight and you are standing in the arrivals hall at Srinagar airport, with the Zabarwan mountains already visible through the terminal windows. Our Kashmir tour packages from Delhi are built around that simplicity. No stopovers, no overnight trains, no complicated logistics. You fly in, we take over from there — private cab waiting at the gate, local guide, houseboat on Dal Lake or Nigeen, and a planned route through Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Sonamarg at whatever pace works for you.
Thrill Top Journeys is based in Kashmir, not Delhi. When you book with us, you are booking directly with the team that runs your trip on the ground — the same people who check the houseboat before your arrival, know which road to Pahalgam is faster on a Friday, and answer their phones at 8pm when your flight lands late.
Delhi to Srinagar Flights — What to Know Before You Book
All major airlines operate direct flights from Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) to Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport (SXR) in Srinagar. Flight time is approximately 1 hour 25 minutes.
| Airline | Type | Approx. One-Way Fare | Best Booking Window |
|---|---|---|---|
| IndiGo | Direct | ₹3,000 – ₹7,000 | 6–8 weeks ahead |
| Air India | Direct | ₹4,000 – ₹9,000 | 6–8 weeks ahead |

Fares above are indicative for economy class one-way. Peak season (April–June and December–January) fares can be significantly higher — book 8–10 weeks ahead during these windows. Our packages are quoted as land packages; we advise you on the best flight options for your dates and can recommend specific departure times that work best with our pickup schedule in Srinagar.
Which Package Duration is Right for a Delhi Traveller?
Delhi travellers have an advantage — the short flight means no travel day is wasted. You can take a morning flight and be on a shikara on Dal Lake by afternoon. Here is a clear guide to choosing your duration:
| Duration | What You Cover | Best For | Land Cost (per person) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4N / 5D | Srinagar (2 days) + Gulmarg + Pahalgam | Short leave, first-time visitors, weekend extenders | ₹13,499 – ₹32,000 |
| 5N / 6D | Srinagar + Gulmarg + Pahalgam + Sonamarg | Most popular — covers all major destinations comfortably | ₹16,149 – ₹40,000 |
| 6N / 7D | All above + offbeat day (Yusmarg or Doodhpathri) | Couples, families wanting a relaxed pace | ₹18,000 – ₹48,000 |
| 7N / 8D | Full Kashmir circuit + Gurez Valley or Bangus Valley | Repeat visitors, serious explorers | ₹20,000 – ₹55,000 |
All costs are land only — flights from Delhi are additional. Per-person costs decrease for groups of 4 or more sharing a vehicle. Contact us for a custom quote.

Why Book a Kashmir Package with Thrillop Instead of a Delhi Travel Agent
We are Based in Kashmir, Not Delhi
Most packages sold in Delhi are operated through a chain of sub-agents, each adding their margin. Thrillop is based in Srinagar. You book directly with the team that runs your trip — one less layer means lower prices and direct accountability.
Same Driver, Airport to Airport
Your driver picks you up at Srinagar airport on Day 1 and drops you back for your return flight. No handoffs, no rotating vehicles, no explaining your itinerary to someone new each morning.
No Hidden Charges
Our quotes cover accommodation, private cab, meals (breakfast and dinner), and local sightseeing. What we quote is what you pay. Gondola tickets and personal expenses are the only extras — and we tell you those upfront.
Ground Conditions Updated in Real Time
Road closures, weather changes, local events — our team knows before your Delhi agent does. If the Sonamarg road is blocked on Day 6, we adjust your itinerary the evening before, not when you are already in the car.
Best Time to Visit Kashmir from Delhi
| Season | Months | What You Get | Flight Demand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring ✦ | March – May | Tulip garden in full bloom (April), cherry blossoms, mild weather, all roads open | High — book flights 8–10 weeks ahead |
| Summer | June – August | Green valleys, pleasant 20–25°C days, peak tourist season, Sonamarg and Gulmarg fully accessible | Highest — book early |
| Autumn ✦ | September – November | Chinar trees turn gold and red, cooler evenings, fewer tourists, best photography conditions | Moderate — good availability |
| Winter | December – February | Gulmarg skiing, frozen Dal Lake, very cold nights (−5°C to −15°C in Gulmarg) | Low except December peak — good deals available |
Delhi travellers have an advantage in spring — March and April flights are cheaper than the June peak, and the tulip garden at Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden (the largest in Asia) is only open for 3–4 weeks. Tell us your dates and we will tell you exactly what to expect on the ground.
Frequently Asked Questions — Kashmir Tour Package from Delhi
How long is the flight from Delhi to Srinagar?
Direct flights from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport (Srinagar) take approximately 1 hour 25 minutes. Multiple departures are available daily on IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet, and Vistara. There is no airport in Gulmarg or Pahalgam — all road transfers to these destinations start from Srinagar.
Can I reach Kashmir from Delhi by train?
Yes. The Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramullah Rail Link now connects Srinagar to the national rail network via Banihal. You can take a train from Delhi to Udhampur (approx. 10–12 hours), then continue by train through the Banihal tunnel to Srinagar. The scenic Banihal-to-Srinagar section passes through mountain terrain and tunnels — it is a worthwhile journey for those who prefer not to fly. We arrange pickup from Srinagar railway station just as we do from the airport.
What is the cost of a Kashmir tour package from Delhi?

Do your Kashmir packages from Delhi include flights?
Our packages are quoted as land packages — Srinagar airport to Srinagar airport. Flights from Delhi are not included but we advise you on the best options and timing for your travel dates. We coordinate your land package around your confirmed flight times so there are no timing mismatches.
Is it safe to travel to Kashmir from Delhi in 2026?
Yes. Kashmir's major tourist zones — Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Sonamarg — are safe and actively visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, including large numbers of Delhi travellers. Tourism infrastructure has improved significantly. Our team is based on the ground in Kashmir and monitors local conditions daily. We will never send you somewhere we would not send our own families.
How many days is the ideal Kashmir trip from Delhi?
5 nights and 6 days is our most recommended duration for Delhi travellers — it covers Srinagar (houseboat + Mughal Gardens), Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and a Sonamarg day trip without feeling rushed. If you have more time, a 7-night trip allows you to include an offbeat destination like Gurez Valley or Doodhpathri that most aggregator packages skip entirely.
Can I customise my Kashmir package from Delhi?
Yes — every package we offer is a starting point. Tell us your travel dates, how many people, your budget, and what matters most to you (relaxed pace vs more destinations, adventure vs sightseeing, luxury accommodation vs budget).
