Kashmir Trip from Mumbai: Planning Guide

Short answer

Fly from Mumbai to Srinagar (non-stop flights take about 3 hours; connections via Delhi take longer) and plan 5 or 6 nights for Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam. Budget roughly ₹35,000 to ₹55,000 per person including flights, depending on the season and hotels.

Getting there

Return fares Mumbai–Srinagar are often about ₹12,000 to ₹25,000 per person when booked early; May–June and the Christmas week cost more. Reach Srinagar airport early on the way back, since security checks take longer than at most airports.

A 6-day plan

Day 1: Srinagar, Mughal gardens, houseboat night and shikara ride. Day 2: Gulmarg and the gondola. Days 3–4: Pahalgam, with Betaab and Aru valleys by local taxi. Day 5: Sonmarg day trip or Srinagar shopping. Day 6: fly back to Mumbai.

Approximate costs

A 5-night package with hotels, a houseboat night, breakfast and dinner and a private cab is approx. from ₹15,999 per person before flights. Gondola tickets, pony rides and Pahalgam's local taxis are paid locally unless included.

Best time from Mumbai

April to June is ideal for Mumbai travellers escaping the heat; September and October have clear skies and autumn colours; December to February is for snow, with proper winter wear.

Practical tips

Prepaid SIM cards from Maharashtra don't work in Kashmir; carry a postpaid connection. Pack warm layers in every season, and keep cash for local taxis and small shops.
