Are you yearning to escape Bangalore's urban hustle for the serene beauty of Kashmir? Look no further! Trivilio.com, your trusted travel partner authorized by the Department of Tourism, Government of Jammu and Kashmir, presents an extensive guide to planning your perfect Kashmir getaway from the Garden City of India.
Bangalore to Kashmir: Journey to the Crown of India
Distance: Approximately 3,000 km Flight Duration: Around 5 hours (with one stop) or 7-8 hours (with two stops) By Road: A lengthy 4-5 day drive (not recommended due to distance and terrain)
The most convenient and time-efficient way to reach Kashmir from Bangalore is by air. Regular flights operate from Kempegowda International Airport to Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport in Srinagar, usually with a stopover in Delhi or Mumbai. Within a day's journey, you'll transition from the pleasant climate of Bangalore to the cool, crisp air of the Himalayas.
For the truly adventurous, a road trip from Bangalore to Kashmir is possible but challenging. It's a journey spanning multiple states, diverse terrains, and varying road conditions. However, due to the considerable distance and time required, we strongly recommend flying for a more comfortable and practical travel experience.
