Quick Answer: A solo trip from Delhi to Kashmir costs about Rs 36,000 to Rs 47,000 for 6 days with return flights, a private cab and single rooms, or about Rs 27,000 to Rs 34,000 if you only need the Kashmir part. The direct Delhi to Srinagar flight takes about 1.5 hours, so you can leave Delhi in the morning and be on a shikara on Dal Lake by afternoon.

A Delhi to Kashmir solo package with return flights, a private cab and single rooms typically costs about Rs 26,000 to Rs 36,000 for 4 days, Rs 36,000 to Rs 47,000 for 6 days and Rs 40,000 to Rs 55,000 for 7 days.

Airfare changes daily with your city, season and how early you book, so it is always confirmed on your actual dates before you pay.
The cheapest way is by train or bus: an overnight train from Delhi to Jammu or Katra, then a shared taxi, bus or the Katra to Srinagar train onward. Flights cost more but take about 1.5 hours instead of a day or more, which usually saves a hotel night.
A direct Delhi to Srinagar flight takes about 1 hour 30 minutes, and there are many flights a day. Morning flights are the best choice for a solo traveller because you reach Srinagar with the whole day ahead.
Srinagar is about 800 km from Delhi by road via Jammu on NH44. Plan it over two days, with a night in Jammu or Katra, rather than one long drive.
Five to six days is ideal if you fly, because the flight is short. If you go by train or road, add two days for the journey each way.
Yes. Happy Jacks books your Delhi to Srinagar flights with the land package, and shows the airfare as its own line so you can compare it with what you see online.
Yes, on the usual tourist route. Fly or take a train to a main station, use a pre-booked driver from a known operator in Kashmir, avoid driving on mountain roads after dark and check current advisories before you go.
