From Surat the usual choices are a train towards Delhi and Jammu, or a flight via Mumbai, Ahmedabad or Delhi. Acme Tour And Travels is based in Srinagar and arranges the Kashmir end of the pilgrimage – airport or station pickup, hotels, cabs, helicopter arrangements and local support – so pilgrims travelling from Surat, Gujarat can focus on the darshan itself.
Getting from Surat to Kashmir
A direct or one-stop flight gets you to Kashmir quickly, but we still recommend arriving at least a day before the yatra so your body can adjust to the altitude.
Once your yatra date is allotted, book your flight or train to Srinagar or Jammu and send us the details. We arrange the pickup, the stay and the onward drive to Baltal or Pahalgam. See our transportation guide, or choose a Srinagar pickup or Jammu pickup plan.

How a trip from Surat is usually planned
- Wait for the official dates. Registration for the yatra is handled through the Shrine Board portal and designated bank branches; we do not issue your permit.
- Get the health certificate. A Compulsory Health Certificate from an authorised doctor is part of registration.
- Book travel after your date is allotted. Fly or take a train from Surat to Srinagar or Jammu.
- Arrive a day early. Rest and acclimatise in Srinagar, Sonamarg or Pahalgam before the yatra day.
- Yatra day. Travel to Baltal or Pahalgam and complete the darshan on foot, by pony or palki, or by helicopter, as per your package.
- Buffer and sightseeing. Keep a spare day for weather, then enjoy Srinagar, Gulmarg or Sonamarg before you fly home.
What to carry from Surat
Pilgrims from warm coastal and plains cities should pack thermals, a windproof jacket, gloves and a woollen cap even in July and August. Also carry your registration papers, photo ID, the health certificate, regular medicines, a rain jacket, thermals, gloves, a cap, sturdy shoes, a torch and a refillable water bottle.
Yatra rules to know before you book
- Registration is compulsory and you must travel on your allotted date.
- In 2026 the yatra was open to pilgrims aged 13 to 70, and women with a pregnancy of more than six weeks were not permitted, as in recent years. Check the 2027 guidelines.
- The shrine is at about 3,888 metres, so altitude sickness is a real risk. If symptoms worsen, descend and seek medical help.
- Helicopter seats, weather and road conditions can change plans at short notice.
