Overview
Kolkata and Kashmir have a history that most travel pages do not bother to mention. Bengali travellers have been making the journey to the valley since the railway era — the houseboats on Dal Lake have hosted generations of Kolkata families, the Mughal Gardens have been photographed from every angle by every camera generation the city has produced, and Gulmarg’s meadow has absorbed more Bengali group photographs than perhaps any other Himalayan destination. The kashmir tour package from kolkata brings that tradition into 2026 with a tight four day circuit built for the traveller who knows exactly what they are coming for.
Bon Voyagers is a Kolkata company and this is the home market package — picked up at Srinagar Airport, two nights in Srinagar with the full Dal Lake and city programme on Day 1, a single night at Gulmarg on Day 2 with the Gondola and the meadow, and back to Srinagar for the Day 4 airport drop. Daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis throughout. No permits required for any destination on this route. Direct Kolkata to Srinagar flights make the Day 1 arrival comfortably manageable.

The kashmir tour package from kolkata begins at Srinagar Airport where IndiGo and other carriers operate direct services from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport — a flight of approximately 2.5 to 3 hours that lands in a valley at approximately 1,585 metres. The Bon Voyagers vehicle is at arrival. The afternoon moves directly to Dal Lake for the Shikara ride — the wooden boats that have carried Kolkata visitors across this water for as long as anyone can remember.
The Mughal Gardens at Nishat and Shalimar on the eastern shore follow, and the old city lanes around Hazratbal and the Jhelum riverfront give the evening its character. Two nights in Srinagar. Overnight at the hotel.
The drive northwest from Srinagar to Gulmarg covers approximately 55 kilometres through the Pir Panjal foothills and takes around 1.5 to 2 hours. Gulmarg sits at approximately 2,650 metres — a thousand metres above Srinagar — and the temperature drops noticeably on the ascent regardless of the month. The Gondola cable car runs in two phases from the meadow base up to Kongdori at approximately 3,100 metres and further to Apharwat ridge at approximately 3,980 metres, subject to weather and operational status.
Gondola charges are paid locally. The wide meadow at the base has its own character separate from the cable car — the golf course perimeter walk, the fir forest edge and the ring of peaks above are worth the visit even without the Gondola. This kashmir tour package from kolkata overnights at Gulmarg rather than returning to Srinagar, which gives the meadow a full morning on Day 3. Overnight at Gulmarg.
The Gulmarg morning before checkout is the part of the kashmir tour package from kolkata that the day-tripper version of this destination never delivers. The meadow at approximately 2,650 metres before the first Srinagar vehicles arrive has a quality that the afternoon crowds remove entirely. The drive back to Srinagar covers approximately 55 kilometres in around 1.5 to 2 hours.
The afternoon in Srinagar is spent in the old city — Lal Chowk and the surrounding lanes carry the Kashmiri craft tradition in concentrated form: hand-knotted carpets, papier-mache work, pashmina and shahtoosh alternatives, saffron, dry fruit and Kashmiri noon chai. The Jama Masjid and the Shah Hamdan shrine add architectural depth to the afternoon. Back to the Srinagar hotel for the final night. Overnight in Srinagar.
The final morning of the kashmir tour package from kolkata is in Srinagar — a last breakfast with the Zabarwan hills visible through the hotel window before the Bon Voyagers vehicle takes the group to Srinagar Airport. The drive from most Srinagar hotel positions to the airport takes under 20 minutes on clear days.
The direct return flight to Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport runs approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. Groups with afternoon departures have time for a final Srinagar morning — the floating vegetable market on Dal Lake operates in the early hours and is worth an early start for those whose flights allow it. Groups with morning departures should flag timing with the Bon team at booking.
