How To Reach Kashmir From Delhi

By Air: Airports in Srinagar and Jammu have regular flights from New Delhi. Domestic airlines like Air India, GoAir, IndiGo, and SpiceJet provide nonstop one-hour flights from Delhi to Kashmir. Srinagar International Airport (SXR) is located about 12 kilometres north of Srinagar and Jammu airport (IXJ) lies about 8 km southwest of the city of Jammu. Booking a Delhi to Kashmir flight is a great way to cut down travel time. Taxi and car rentals are available at both airports.

By Rail: Jammu Tawi (JAT) is the busiest train station in Jammu and Kashmir. A major junction for Delhi to Kashmir train, Jammu Tawi is the northern terminal of trains coming from Punjab, Delhi, and other lower Indian states. The Jammu Tawi Express, Jhelum Express, Pooja Express, Malwa Express, and Jammu Mail are some of the daily trains running between New Delhi and Jammu. Katra and Udhampur are other railway stations in Jammu region. The Banihal to Baramulla line passes through Srinagar, Anantnag, and Pampore. Delhi to Kashmir train ticket price is roughly half of the flight tickets.

By Road: Tourists planning to travel from Delhi to Kashmir by road should know that government and several private operators ply buses between Jammu and Delhi. The Srinagar Jammu National Highway, which is a part of NH 44, is the main access road to visit Jammu and Kashmir from Delhi. The distance between Jammu and New Delhi is about 808 km along the NH 44. The highway also connects Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Pathankot with New Delhi. The time taken from Delhi to Jammu by public transport on this route is two days. The north end of 2.5-km-long Jawahar Tunnel leads traffic into the Kashmir Valley. A Delhi to Kashmir bus takes about 20 hours to cover the distance.
