How to Reach

How to Reach Srinagar from Mumbai

Getting to Srinagar in Kashmir from Mumbai involves a few steps, but it's totally doable!

  1. By Air: The fastest way is to take a flight from Mumbai to Srinagar. There are direct flights available from Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to Srinagar's Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport. It takes around 2.5 to 3 hours to reach Srinagar by air.
  2. By Train/Bus: Unfortunately, there are no direct trains or buses from Mumbai to Srinagar due to the long distance and geographical barriers. However, you can take a train or bus from Mumbai to Jammu, which is the nearest major city to Srinagar. From Jammu, you can either hire a taxi or take a bus to Srinagar. The road journey from Jammu to Srinagar takes around 7 to 8 hours.
  3. By Road: If you're up for a road trip, you can also drive from Mumbai to Srinagar. However, this option is quite lengthy and challenging as it involves covering a distance of over 2,000 kilometers and crossing multiple states.
