Quick answerAhmedabad has direct flights to Srinagar of about 2–2.5 hours. Families usually travel in May–June or the Diwali break. Vegetarian food is easy to find; for Jain meals, tell your hotel in advance. A mid-range 5-night land package costs about ₹20,000–35,000 per person, plus flights.
Gujarati families travel in style: large groups, plenty of snacks from home and a firm opinion about where dinner should be. Kashmir handles all three well. The flight is short, the valley is easy for grandparents and children, and vegetarian meals are part of everyday Kashmiri cooking.
Getting there
- Direct flights: nonstop services from Ahmedabad take about 2–2.5 hours; check current timings.
- From Surat, Vadodara or Rajkot: connect via Ahmedabad, Mumbai or Delhi. Our Gujarat guide compares the options.
Vegetarian and Jain food in Kashmir
- Vegetarian: easy. Rajma, dum aloo, chaman (paneer), haak and nadru (lotus stem) are everyday Kashmiri dishes, and hotels serve North Indian vegetarian meals.
- Jain: possible with notice. Ask the hotel to cook without onion, garlic and root vegetables before you arrive; many family hotels in Srinagar are used to the request.
- Snacks: carrying familiar snacks is normal and welcome, especially for long drive days.
