Kashmir from Delhi: what to know before you book
From Delhi, Kashmir is a short flight rather than a long expedition, so it suits both long weekends and week-long breaks. Many Delhi travellers visit in May and June to escape the heat, and in winter for snow.
Dal Lake, Gulmarg snow and Pahalgam meadows. Most itineraries run 5–6 nights. Delhi's heat from May to June pushes many families towards the hills or overseas, while winter fog from December to January can disturb early-morning departures.
Delhi is India's largest northern hub, with international and domestic flights across a long list of cities and airlines.
Why visit Kashmir
- Different in every season, from tulips in April to chinar leaves in October to snow in winter.
- No visa, no passport requirement for Indian travellers, and a short flight from many cities.
- Classic honeymoon and family destination with houseboat stays and shikara rides.
For families: Family-friendly with comfortable road journeys and plenty of sightseeing choices.
