Quick answerFrom Gurugram, Faridabad and Sonipat, fly from Delhi to Srinagar (about 1.5 hours); a 4-night long weekend works well. From Ambala, Kurukshetra, Karnal and Panipat, driving via Pathankot and Jammu is a realistic road trip; plan 6 nights with a stop in Jammu.

Haryana has two kinds of Kashmir travellers: Gurugram professionals who want to leave on a Friday morning and be on a houseboat by lunch, and families from the GT Road belt who load up the SUV and make it a road trip. Both are well served.

Option 1: Fly from Delhi

Delhi has the most Srinagar flights in the country, about 1.5 hours direct. Ideal for Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat and Jhajjar. Our Delhi NCR guide compares airport routes from Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad and Ghaziabad, and the Delhi guide has flight tips.

Option 2: Drive

FromApprox. distance to Srinagar
Ambala600–650 km via Pathankot and Jammu
Karnal, Kurukshetra650–700 km
Panipat700–750 km

Break the drive in Jammu or Patnitop. Outside vehicles stop at Pahalgam and Sonamarg towns, where local union taxis take you to the valleys. Check the J&K traffic advisory in winter.

When to go

  • May–June: escape 45°C summers.
  • October–November: clear skies and golden chinars.
  • Winter: snow in Gulmarg; the drive gets harder, so consider flying.

Costs

A mid-range 4-night land package is about ₹17,000–28,000 per person; road-trippers save on the cab but add fuel, tolls and a Jammu night.

Practical tips

  • Friday morning flights from Delhi sell out fast for long weekends; book ahead.
  • If driving, carry RC, insurance and ID; there are checkpoints on the highway.
  • Fill up fuel in Jammu; stations are fewer on mountain stretches.
  • Book Gulmarg Gondola tickets online in advance. See our Gondola guide.
