A Note from Aamir
Bengal has a deep literary and philosophical relationship with Kashmir. Tagore wrote about it. Bengali travellers have been making their way here for generations. What strikes me about our guests from Kolkata is how naturally they connect with the poets and storytellers of the Valley — the deep tradition of music, the philosophy, the idea that this landscape carries something ancient and serious.
Practically: Kolkata to Srinagar via Delhi is about 3.5 to 4 hours in total. It is one of the more straightforward connections in India for a Kashmir trip. You can leave Kolkata on a Friday evening and be in Srinagar by the time you'd normally be having Saturday morning chai.
Flights from Kolkata (CCU) to Srinagar (SXR)
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) to Srinagar (SXR) operates via Delhi (DEL). CCU to DEL is one of India's busiest and most competitive routes, which keeps return fares affordable. Total journey including the Delhi connection is 3.5 to 4 hours.
| Airline | Route | Duration | Return Fare (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| IndiGo | CCU – DEL – SXR | 3 hrs 45 min | 5,500 to 11,000 |
| Air India | CCU – DEL – SXR | 4 hrs | 6,000 to 13,000 |
| SpiceJet | CCU – DEL – SXR | 3 hrs 45 min | 5,000 to 10,500 |
Tip: Kolkata to Delhi is one of India's most competitive routes — return fares can go as low as ₹3,000 if booked early. The CCU to SXR leg is the premium part. Look for early morning Kolkata flights that give you a 2-hour minimum connection at Delhi.
