Quick answerFrom Kerala, fly to Srinagar with one connection, usually via Delhi, Bengaluru or Mumbai; total travel time is often 7–10 hours. For snow, go in late December to February. Plan 6 nights. A mid-range land package costs about ₹24,000–42,000 per person, plus flights.
Keralites already know houseboats, so the joke writes itself: you leave a kettuvallam on Vembanad Lake and arrive at a carved cedar houseboat on Dal Lake. The difference? On Dal Lake in January, you might wake up to snow on the roof.
Getting there
| From | Typical route |
|---|---|
| Kochi | Via Delhi, Bengaluru or Mumbai |
| Thiruvananthapuram | Via Delhi or Bengaluru |
| Kozhikode, Kannur | Via Delhi, Bengaluru or Mumbai |
Choose an early first flight so you land in Srinagar by mid-afternoon. A night in Delhi on the way can make the trip less tiring for older parents.
When Keralites go
- December–February: the snow trip, and Christmas holidays help. Heated rooms and proper winter wear are essential.
- April–May: school vacation, flowers and green valleys.
- Onam to October: clear skies and good value after the summer rush.
Honeymoon favourite
Kashmir is one of the most popular honeymoon choices for Kerala couples. A typical plan: two houseboat nights, two in Pahalgam by the river and two in Gulmarg for snow or meadows. Our honeymoon guide has the details.
Food
Rice is a staple in Kashmir, so you will never go without. Fish is less common but appears on some menus. Kerala-style breakfasts such as appam are rare, so try a Kashmiri breakfast instead: salty pink noon chai with fresh bread from the local bakery.

|---|---|
| Budget | ₹14,000–21,000 |
