Kashmir Trip Cost from Delhi 2026: Real Prices ₹12,000–₹45,000 (Budget Breakdown)

How Much Does a Kashmir Trip from Delhi Cost?

A Kashmir trip from Delhi typically costs between ₹12,000 and ₹45,000 per person for a 5-7 day trip, depending on your travel style. This includes flights, accommodation, meals, local transport, and sightseeing. Budget travellers can manage in ₹12,000-15,000, mid-range travellers spend ₹18,000-25,000, and luxury seekers should budget ₹30,000-45,000. Our packages from Delhi start at ₹14,999 all-inclusive — saving you 20-30% compared to booking everything separately.

Delhi to Srinagar Flights – ₹3,500 to ₹8,000

Direct flights from Delhi to Srinagar take 1 hour 30 minutes. Airlines like IndiGo, SpiceJet, Air India, and GoFirst operate 10+ daily flights. One-way fares range from ₹3,500 (off-season, advance booking) to ₹8,000 (peak season). Book 30-45 days in advance for the best fares. Tuesday and Wednesday flights are usually cheapest. Round-trip tickets average ₹7,000-14,000. Pro tip: fly into Srinagar and consider a Jammu return (or vice versa) if combining with Vaishno Devi — these routes are often cheaper.
