We are the TDI Holiday Ventures planning desk in Srinagar, and our packages start here. Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur have no listed direct flight to Srinagar, so the question is the first leg: a connecting flight, a train to Jammu Tawi, or the road.
Which way in suits Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Ajmer?
| Starting city | Ways in the sources list | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Jaipur | A flight with a stop, a train to Jammu Tawi, or the road | Kayak lists no direct flight; the Pooja Express and a Barmer to Jammu Tawi train both stop at Jaipur. |
| Ajmer | Pooja Express | The train starts at Ajmer Junction and runs daily. |
| Jodhpur and Udaipur | A flight with a stop, for example via Delhi; from Jodhpur, also the Barmer to Jammu Tawi train | Wikipedia's airport lists for both name Delhi, and neither names Srinagar. ConfirmTkt lists a Barmer to Jammu Tawi train calling at Jodhpur Jn. |
Is there a direct flight from Jaipur to Srinagar?
No. Kayak says there are currently no direct flights between Jaipur and Srinagar (checked 25 October 2026), and Wikipedia's airline list for Srinagar Airport names no city in Rajasthan. In Kayak's data for this route, 63% of the users who booked one-stop return journeys over the past 3 months connected via Delhi.
| Flight option | What Kayak lists (checked 25 October 2026) |
|---|---|
| Jaipur to Srinagar, return, past 12 months | ₹13,301 to ₹17,875, average ₹15,746 |
| Jaipur to Srinagar via Delhi, return, past 3 months | Average ₹14,435; Kayak names Delhi as the cheapest stopover airport |
| Delhi to Srinagar, direct | Every day, average duration 1h 33m; return flights typically range from ₹10,562 to ₹14,537, based on the cheapest return price Kayak found in the last 12 months for flights departing in November |
Kayak's search form shows 1 adult, so we read these as one traveller's fare. Fares change; TDI's packages list airfare as not included.
Which trains run from Jaipur towards Kashmir?
The Pooja Superfast Express (Wikipedia gives its numbers as 12413 / 12414) is one train that runs through Jaipur to Jammu Tawi. Wikipedia describes it as a daily train from Ajmer Junction to Jammu Tawi and lists a ten-minute halt at Jaipur, and Travelkhana lists train 12413 as leaving from Ajmer junction; times differ by source, so read the live schedule on IRCTC. It is not the only one: ConfirmTkt lists 14661 Shalimar Malani, Barmer to Jammu Tawi, calling at Jodhpur Jn from 03:25 to 03:35 and at Jaipur from 09:25 to 09:35, and ending at Jammu Tawi at 05:40.
| Stop on the Pooja Express | Time listed |
|---|---|
| Ajmer Junction | Departs 14:15 |
| Jaipur | Arrives 16:00, departs 16:10 |
| Jammu Tawi, next morning | 7:30 in the article's text, 8:20 in its timetable; Travelkhana lists 08:20 |
That is about 15 to 16 hours from Jaipur (our arithmetic: 16:10 to 07:30, or to 08:20). For the Srinagar leg, our Vaishno Devi and Kashmir page reproduces the Vande Bharat timings IANS announced when the service was extended to Jammu Tawi: two departures from Jammu Tawi, 26401 at 06:20 and 26403 at 13:20. The first leaves before the Pooja Express is listed to arrive; the second is listed to reach Srinagar at 18:00, though IANS lists it as off on Wednesdays and the Kashmir Observer reports no Tuesday service, so confirm your date on IRCTC. The alternative is a Jammu to Srinagar taxi.
Through Delhi by rail, ConfirmTkt lists Vande Bharat 22439 from New Delhi to Katra on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, leaving at 06:00 and calling at Jammu Tawi at 12:43, so (our inference) you would need to be in Delhi before 06:00, which for most travellers means reaching Delhi the evening before.
Can you drive from Rajasthan to Kashmir, and are there buses?
| Route | Distance | Time | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaipur to Srinagar | 1,075 km | 14 hours 22 minutes | Wanderlog (page updated 31 Mar 2023) |
| Jaipur to Srinagar | 1,125 km | 18 hours 50 minutes | Holidify |
| Jaipur to Delhi | 273 km | 4 hours 53 minutes | Holidify |
| Delhi to Srinagar via Jammu on NH-44 | about 800 km | 15 to 18 hours | Srinagar district administration |
| Jammu to Srinagar on NH-44 | 290 km | 6 to 7 hours | Srinagar district administration |
The two Jaipur to Srinagar figures come from different route planners and differ, so read them as a range. The district administration (page updated 16 March 2026) says NH-44 can be affected by landslides or snowfall, particularly in winter, and tells drivers to check Traffic Police J&K advisories before travel. Its bus text says private operators run Volvo and sleeper buses on the Delhi-Jammu-Srinagar route and from other major cities in North India, without naming Jaipur. See Is Kashmir safe to visit? and our how to reach Kashmir guide.
Can you add Vaishno Devi to a Kashmir trip from Rajasthan?
Yes. Katra is the base for the yatra and a halt on some Srinagar Vande Bharat trains, and we suggest Katra first and Kashmir second, as our Kashmir and Vaishno Devi page sets out. The Shrine Board, not TDI, runs yatra registration and helicopter tickets (see our helicopter booking guide); our Katra rooms service covers a room. The Katra half is a custom plan priced on request.
What does a Kashmir package from Rajasthan cost?
TDI's overview page says packages start from ₹8,550 per person for a 3-night trip. The package pages print the tables below, per person on twin sharing with the standard hotel category. Airfare, lunch and Gulmarg gondola tickets are not included.
| Package | Two travellers | Four travellers | Six travellers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3N/4D Quick Getaway | ₹11,950 | ₹9,120 | ₹8,100 |
| 4N/5D Classic | ₹13,800 | ₹10,650 | ₹9,490 |
| 5N/6D Explorer | ₹15,900 | ₹12,400 | ₹11,320 |
A worked example, our arithmetic: two travellers on the 4N/5D Classic pay 2 × ₹13,800 = ₹27,600 for Kashmir. Kayak's twelve-month Jaipur return range of ₹13,301 to ₹17,875 comes to ₹26,602 to ₹35,750 for two, so on those twelve-month figures the total is ₹54,202 to ₹63,350, before lunches, gondola tickets or any Katra nights. Kayak's page also says one-way fares from Jaipur to Srinagar are currently higher than usual (checked 25 October 2026), at about ₹15,144 on average, so check the live fare.
How many days do you need from Rajasthan?
Count the journey inside the trip. Our arithmetic from the times above:
- Flying with a stopover: Kayak gives 4h 16m as the shortest average total travel time with one stop, via Jewar Noida Intl (DXN), against 6h 07m via Delhi, so treat the day you leave as travel and arrival.
- Pooja Express: Wikipedia lists a 16:10 departure from Jaipur and Jammu Tawi the next morning (7:30 or 8:20, sources differ). The 13:20 Vande Bharat is listed in Srinagar at 18:00 (IANS lists it as off on Wednesdays; confirm your date on IRCTC), so Kashmir day one would start that evening. TDI's 3N/4D page puts the Mughal Gardens and a shikara ride after check-in on its first day, so ask TDI how an evening arrival changes day one.
- By road: the two sources give 14 hours 22 minutes and 18 hours 50 minutes for Jaipur to Srinagar, so plan a two-day leg each way.
When should you leave Rajasthan for Kashmir?
Wikipedia's 1991–2020 climate tables put Jaipur's mean daily maximum at 41.1 °C in May and 39.7 °C in June, against 24.7 °C and 28.5 °C in Srinagar.
| Month | Jaipur daily high (°C) | Srinagar daily high (°C) | Srinagar daily low (°C) |
|---|---|---|---|
| April | 37.6 | 20.6 | 7.9 |
| May | 41.1 | 24.7 | 11.2 |
| June | 39.7 | 28.5 | 15.0 |
| December | 25.1 | 9.9 | −1.6 |
Nobody can promise snow, open roads or flights months ahead, so check advisories close to travel. Read Kashmir month by month and the winter and snow packages; for other start cities see our Delhi and Punjab pages.

Questions travellers ask
Is there a direct flight from Jaipur to Srinagar?
No. Kayak says there are currently no direct flights between Jaipur and Srinagar (checked 25 October 2026) and names Delhi as the most popular stopover. Its twelve-month return range for the route is ₹13,301 to ₹17,875, averaging ₹15,746. Fares change; TDI's packages list airfare as not included.
Is there a direct train from Jaipur to Kashmir?
Partly. The Pooja Superfast Express (Wikipedia gives its numbers as 12413 / 12414) is a daily train from Ajmer Junction through Jaipur to Jammu Tawi, and it is listed in Jaipur from 16:00 to 16:10. Its Jammu Tawi arrival is given as 7:30 in the article's text and 8:20 in its timetable. ConfirmTkt also lists 14661 Shalimar Malani, Barmer to Jammu Tawi, calling at Jaipur from 09:25 to 09:35. You then continue to Srinagar by Vande Bharat or taxi; confirm times on IRCTC.
Can I travel from Jodhpur or Udaipur to Kashmir?
Wikipedia's airport lists for Jodhpur and Udaipur name Delhi among their destinations and neither names Srinagar, so no direct flight is listed there and flying means a connection. Delhi is one option, since Kayak lists Delhi to Srinagar as a direct flight every day, with an average duration of 1h 33m. Wikipedia's lists for Jodhpur, Udaipur and Srinagar also all name Mumbai, so compare fares. From Jodhpur, ConfirmTkt also lists a Barmer to Jammu Tawi train calling at Jodhpur Jn.
How much is a Kashmir tour package from Jaipur?
The package tables on this page run from ₹8,100 per person (six travellers, 3N/4D) to ₹15,900 (two travellers, 5N/6D). TDI's overview page says packages start from ₹8,550 per person for a 3-night trip, which is a separate statement from the package tables, so ask TDI to confirm the figure for your dates and group size. Flights and trains are extra.
How many days do I need for Kashmir from Rajasthan?
Count the journey inside the trip. By the Pooja Express, Wikipedia lists a 16:10 departure from Jaipur and a Jammu Tawi arrival the next morning. The 13:20 Vande Bharat is listed in Srinagar at 18:00, though IANS lists it as off on Wednesdays, so confirm your date on IRCTC. Flying with a stopover, Kayak gives 4h 16m as the shortest average total travel time with one stop, via Jewar Noida Intl (DXN), against 6h 07m via Delhi. Ask TDI how an evening arrival changes day one.
