Srinagar to Delhi FAQs

Srinagar to Delhi is 810 km by road via NH-44 via Ambala, Jalandhar, Jammu & Banihal via Banihal and Udhampur and Jammu and Pathankot and Jalandhar and Ludhiana and Ambala. It is the same road as Delhi to Srinagar driven in the other direction, so the kilometres, the highway and the toll plazas are the same; only the order of the stops changes.
How long does it take to drive from Srinagar to Delhi?
About 16-18 hours for the 810 km. Excellent four-lane NH-44 through Punjab up to Jammu. The Jammu-Srinagar stretch climbs through Udhampur, Ramban and the Banihal tunnel into the Kashmir Valley — scenic but slow, with tunnel work and weather-related convoy halts.
What does a one-way cab from Srinagar to Delhi cost?
₹8,910 (sedan), Ertiga SUV ₹12,150, Innova Crysta ₹14,580, 12-seater Tempo Traveller ₹18,630. A one-way drop is charged for the outward distance only; tolls, parking and any state permit are extra at actuals, and the driver settles them on FASTag.
Is the return leg from Srinagar to Delhi charged differently?
No. The fare is worked from the published rate card on the distance driven, so Srinagar to Delhi costs the same as Delhi to Srinagar for the same vehicle. What changes on a return booking is only whether you pay for one leg or two.
When is the best time to drive from Srinagar to Delhi?
April to October for the drive. December to February the Banihal section can close after heavy snowfall, so check road status before starting.
