Kashmir Tour Package from Haryana: Weekend Flights or a Road Trip
Gurugram and Faridabad sit next to Delhi's airport; Ambala, Panipat and Hisar are a day's drive from Jammu. How to choose, plus 4- and 6-night plans.
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
| From | Approx. distance to Srinagar |
|---|---|
| Ambala | 600–650 km via Pathankot and Jammu |
| Karnal, Kurukshetra | 650–700 km |
| Panipat | 700–750 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.
4-night long weekend (flying)
| Night | Stay |
|---|---|
| 1 | Srinagar houseboat |
| 2 | Srinagar (Gulmarg day trip) |
| 3–4 | Pahalgam, then fly home from Srinagar |

When to go
- May–June: escape 45°C summers.

- 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.
