Jammu To Srinagar Tour Package
Travelling from Jammu straight into Kashmir? Here's how the road route works, and how SS Travels arranges the journey and your Kashmir itinerary from there.
Jammu To Srinagar, By Highway
The Jammu-Srinagar highway runs through Udhampur and Patnitop, crossing the Pir Panjal range through the Jawahar Tunnel before descending into the Kashmir Valley. It's typically covered in a full day, though some travellers prefer to split the journey with an overnight stop at Patnitop.
This is a different route profile from our Katra Kashmir tour package, which is built for travellers combining a Vaishno Devi pilgrimage with Kashmir — this page is for a direct Jammu-to-Srinagar trip.
- Full day drive via Patnitop and the Jawahar Tunnel
- Optional overnight stop at Patnitop
- Private taxi arranged for the full route

Jammu To Srinagar: Common Questions
How far is Srinagar from Jammu by road?
The Jammu to Srinagar drive typically takes a full day, running via Patnitop and through the Jawahar Tunnel across the Pir Panjal range.
Is the Jammu to Srinagar highway safe for a day trip?
The route is regularly used by tourist traffic, though as with any mountain highway, timing and road conditions can vary by season. We recommend starting early and building in flexibility for the day.
Should I stop at Patnitop on the way to Srinagar?
Patnitop sits roughly midway on the route and is a natural break, especially if you'd rather split the drive over two days instead of one long day.
Can I book a one-way taxi from Jammu to Srinagar?
Yes. We arrange private vehicles for the Jammu-Srinagar route as a one-way transfer, a round trip, or as part of a complete Kashmir tour package.
How is this different from the Katra Kashmir tour package?
This page covers travelling directly from Jammu to Srinagar. Our Katra Kashmir tour package is for travellers combining the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage in Katra with a Kashmir trip, which follows a similar highway but starts from Katra instead of Jammu city.
