Kolkata to Kashmir: Your Complete Travel Guide

Updated: Sep 3


Are you yearning to exchange the bustling streets of Kolkata for the serene beauty of Kashmir? Look no further! Trivilio.com, your premier travel partner authorized by the Department of Tourism, Government of Jammu and Kashmir, invites you on an unforgettable journey from the City of Joy to the Paradise on Earth. Let's dive into the wonders that await Kolkata travelers in Kashmir and how Trivilio can turn your dream vacation into reality.

Kolkata to Kashmir: Bridging Distances, Connecting Cultures

Distance: Approximately 2,100 km Flight Duration: Around 3 hours (direct flight) By Road: A lengthy 3-4 day drive (not recommended due to distance and terrain)

Direct flights make the journey smooth and efficient, transforming your travel experience from Bengal's humid climate to Kashmir's crisp mountain air in just a few hours.
