Quick answerFrom Bihar, fly from Patna, Gaya or Darbhanga via Delhi to Srinagar (Delhi–Srinagar is about 1.5 hours). On a budget, take a train towards Jammu Tawi or Katra and continue by Vande Bharat. Plan 6 nights. Summer and the Chhath–Diwali break are popular.
From the banks of the Ganga to the shores of Dal Lake: Bihari families increasingly choose Kashmir for their big holiday, and the improved rail link to Srinagar has made the budget option much easier.
Getting there
| From | Option |
|---|---|
| Patna | Fly via Delhi; or train towards Jammu or Katra (check IRCTC) |
| Gaya, Darbhanga | Fly via Delhi |

By train, the long journey to Jammu or Katra is followed by the Vande Bharat to Srinagar, which runs through tunnels and over the Chenab bridge. See how to reach Kashmir.
When to go

Train or flight: which suits your family?
Flying via Delhi gets you from Patna to Dal Lake in a day. The train is slower but cheaper, and many Bihari families like the journey itself: you can carry home food, and the final Katra–Srinagar stretch through the mountains is spectacular. If you take the train, book the Vande Bharat leg separately and keep a few hours of buffer at Katra in case the long-distance train runs late.
