Travel Tips for Delhi Travelers Visiting Kashmir
- Book IGI to Srinagar flights 45–60 days ahead: Delhi has the most flights to Srinagar of any Indian city. But April–June and December–January seats sell out fast. IndiGo and Air India offer the most frequent services. Book early for best fares (₹4,000–₹8,000 off-peak).
- Taking train from Delhi? Book on IRCTC 60 days in advance: Rajdhani and Vande Bharat quota opens 60 days before departure. Book the moment quota opens — 3AC fills within hours for popular departure dates.
- Carry cash — Kashmir is not like Delhi for digital payments: UPI and cards work in Srinagar city. But Gulmarg, Sonamarg, and remote Pahalgam areas have no ATMs and spotty connectivity. Carry ₹3,000–5,000 per person in cash.
- Pack warm clothes — Gulmarg is nothing like Delhi in July: Delhi summers are 40°C+. Gulmarg evenings in July are 10°C. Carry a fleece jacket and light woolens regardless of when you visit.
- Book Gondola tickets online before flying from Delhi: Visit jammukashmircablecar.com before you leave Delhi. Peak season (April–June, December–January) Gondola tickets sell out by 9 AM daily. Online booking is the same price but guarantees your slot.
- Carry Aadhaar or Passport: Required at hotel check-in, Gondola booking counter, and some tourist checkpoints. Delhi residents — Aadhaar is sufficient.
