Kashmir Tour Packages from Kolkata 2026 | Durga Puja & Summer Trips | Kashmir Tickets

The Durga Puja–Kashmir Connection

For Bengali travellers, the Durga Puja holidays in October represent one of the year's best travel windows — and Kashmir in October is perhaps the finest domestic destination that window offers. The Chinar trees across Srinagar, Pahalgam, and the Mughal Gardens turn gold, orange, and deep red at exactly this time, creating a colour display that rivals the famous Chestnut seasons of Europe and Japan.

Practically speaking, Kolkata is well-connected to Srinagar. Direct seasonal flights from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) operate during peak months; year-round, a single connection via Delhi takes just 4–5 hours total. The journey from Kolkata's heat and humidity to Kashmir's cool mountain air is immediate and dramatic.

Beyond October, June school holidays are the most popular time for Kolkata families — an escape from West Bengal's pre-monsoon heat into Kashmir's pleasant 15–25°C summer.

🍂 Book Early for October (Puja Season)

Kashmir hotels during Puja holidays fill quickly. We recommend booking at least 8 weeks in advance for October dates. Call +91-9419001246 to secure your package.
