Chennai is too far from Srinagar, but we make it feel easy. Our Srinagar tour packages from Chennai are city-first trips for tourists who want to visit from Tamil Nadu. The trip starts from Srinagar and includes the whole stay, a float across Dal Lake, a night on a houseboat, a walk through the Mughal Gardens, and a day trip to Gulmarg or Pahalgam before returning to the city each evening for an overnight stay. We have the best 4 Srinagar packages from Chennai: budget tours, family, honeymoon, and luxury tours, from ₹12,500 per person for the land tour package, with flights added on request from around ₹26,000 per person. There is no direct flight from Chennai, so we help you find the smoothest connection through Delhi or Mumbai, and our team is waiting when you land. Valley Trip Planner has worked in Srinagar since 2006, with a 4.9-star Google rating from 5,000+ travellers.

Chennai sits right down in South India, so a trip to the Kashmir Valley is a real journey, and getting the flight right matters too. There is no non-stop service if you want to come by flight, so every flight goes through Delhi or Mumbai on the way. That is exactly where we are going to help you. You can pick one of our 4 Srinagar Tour Packages from Chennai city breaks, send us your dates, and we will plan the connection, the hotel, the houseboat, and each day on the ground.
This is a Srinagar city trip that starts from 3 days to 6 days, and we would like to be clear about this trip. You will stay in a hotel and houseboat in Srinagar the whole time; the rest of the time, you can wake up beside Dal Lake and visit local Mughal gardens with family. And take gentle day trips out to Gulmarg or Pahalgam, returning to the city for the night. (If you want to explore other places and stay overnight there, that is our full Srinagar tour package instead, linked below.)
These Srinagar tour packages from Chennai are perfect for all, like travellers, families, couples, and groups who want to visit Srinagar. All are priced clearly per person and per couple, from budget to luxury. Our honeymoon packages offer you romantic stays in a houseboat; for families, explore adventure activities for children.
And here is what a booking website can never match: we live and work in Srinagar. After a long flight from Chennai, one of our own drivers is there at arrivals with your name on a card, and that same person stays with you until you fly home. We have run Srinagar trips since 2006, with a 4.9-star Google rating from more than 5,000 happy travellers.
This is the first thing most Chennai travellers ask, so here is the honest guide.
Looking for Srinagar trip stats from Chennai? Here is a guide for you. There is no direct flight from Chennai to Srinagar. Around 14 flights a day link the two, and every one connects through Delhi or Mumbai with one stop, so plan for roughly 5 to 8 hours door-to-door, with the fastest near 4 hours 50 minutes. You fly from Chennai (MAA) to Srinagar International Airport (SXR) on IndiGo, Air India, or Air India Express. Return airfare usually runs ₹18,000 to ₹24,000, dropping to its lowest around September. Check out our Srinagar tour package with flight
*Indicative airfare only. Actual fares vary by travel date, airline, availability and season.
Book about 6 weeks ahead for the best fare. September is the cheapest month, and an early departure gets you to Srinagar with the afternoon still ahead of you.
If your budget is low, or if you can also visit Katra, then you can come by train to Srinagar. Here is your guide: There is no direct train to Srinagar from Chennai. You would ride up to Jammu Tawi over two days, then travel on by road, Also, you can come from Chennai to Delhi By Train, and in Delhi book the Vande Bharat Express to Katra, and in Katra book the Vande Bharat Express to Srinagar, which is a lot for a short break. With flights being so much quicker, almost everyone flies.
That’s how we have planned our 4 Srinagar tour packages from Chennai. All prices are per person on twin sharing, based on hotel types. The “land tour” price is what you pay on the ground; the “with flight tour” price adds a Chennai return fare via Delhi or Mumbai, which changes with the season, so we will confirm it for your dates.
Best Value
3 Nights / 4 Days
The lightest on the wallet. Make Srinagar your base, drift the Dal on a shikara, wander the gardens, sleep one night aboard a houseboat, and choose a single meadow run to Gulmarg or Pahalgam.
Family Favourite
4 Nights / 5 Days
Made for families. An unhurried plan that fits in both meadow runs, Gulmarg and Pahalgam, from a single Srinagar base, which means no early-morning packing for little ones or older parents.
Romantic Escape
4 Nights / 5 Days
The one for two. An evening on a deluxe houseboat, a shikara kept just for you as the sun dips, a dinner by candlelight and petals waiting in the room, wrapped around runs to the high meadows.
Premium
5 Nights / 6 Days
The take-it-slow tier. A spare day in the valley, lake-facing 4-star rooms, a deluxe houseboat, private cars throughout, and both meadow runs at a lazy pace.
Here is how the Value package flows, so you can picture the whole trip. The longer packages simply add more day trips and nights at the same easy pace.
Each day is planned for smooth travel, comfortable stays, and time to enjoy the destinations at their own pace.
Welcome to Heaven on Earth. Today, you will take a flight from Chennai to Srinagar. We will meet you at Srinagar Airport and take you to your hotel or houseboat. Rest for a while after the connecting flight, then set out for the Mughal Gardens, Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh,gh and Chashme Shahi, with a stop at Pari Mahal and the Shankaracharya Temple for a wide view over the city. In the evening, your shikara is ready on the Dal. Night is spent in Srinagar.
After completing your breakfast on the houseboat, the road climbs to Gulmarg, a hill town roughly 55 km out. After reaching Gulmarg, the best Hill station, take the gondola ride, the most popular adventure activity, up through Phase 1 and Phase 2, trot across the meadow on a pony, and fill your lungs with cool alpine air. Come winter, it is all snow. You are back by the Srinagar by night stay.
An easy day threaded through Srinagar itself, the Hazratbal shrine, the tangle of the old town, and Lal Chowk for pashmina, saffron and walnuts. Slip in one last drift on the water if you fancy it
After breakfast, we time your transfer to Srinagar airport so your connecting flight back to Chennai is calm and easy.

Every season has its own charm, and for Chennai travellers the valley is a cool world away from home. March to May brings tulips and mild days, and the Srinagar Tulip Garden opens for a few short weeks. June to August stays green and pleasant, a welcome escape from the southern heat. September to November is clear and quiet, with golden chinar leaves, and it is also the cheapest time to fly. December to February is snow season, when Gulmarg is the natural day trip. Book flights about 6 weeks ahead for the best fares.
Pack warm layers all year, since Srinagar evenings stay cool even in summer, a big change from Chennai. Add a heavy jacket and waterproof shoes for winter, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a valid photo ID for the airport and hotel check-in.
