Can You Travel from Bangalore to Kashmir by Train?
Yes, but it takes substantially longer than flying. A practical rail-based plan is to travel from Bengaluru towards Jammu Tawi and then continue towards Srinagar by rail or road.
The Ministry of Railways announced regular extended Jammu Tawi–Srinagar Vande Bharat services from 2 May 2026. Your exact Bengaluru connection should be checked for the travel date.

Bangalore to Kashmir by Road or Bus
A complete Bangalore-to-Kashmir road journey is possible but involves a very long distance. It makes more sense for travellers who specifically want a multi-state road trip. For a conventional Kashmir vacation, flying to Srinagar and using a private vehicle locally gives you more sightseeing time.
How Many Days Are Enough for Kashmir from Bangalore?
5 Nights 6 Days works well for a first trip covering the major highlights. Choose 6 Nights 7 Days for a more relaxed pace and Sonmarg.
