Send a parcel from Jodhpur to Srinagar. We pick up free.
Roughly 1,250 kilometres north — surface goes via Delhi and NH44 over the Banihal pass, weather-dependent in winter; air express stages through Delhi to Srinagar. Surface is 4–5 working days, express 2–3. Pickup from your Jodhpur address — Sardarpura, Sojati Gate, Ratanada, Boranada or Salawas — is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.
Pickup in Jodhpur, hub via Delhi, delivery across Srinagar.
Pickup, Jodhpur.
Within 60–90 minutes of your call. We bring tape, bubble wrap and a luggage scale; the parcel is sealed at your address — Old City lanes, Sardarpura, Ratanada, or Boranada / Salawas exporter ateliers.
Delhi hub.
Same-evening handover to DTDC Jodhpur, then road to the Delhi facility overnight via Jaipur. Delhi is the staging point for everything bound for the Kashmir valley.
NH44 over Banihal (or air leg).
Surface continues by line-haul truck on NH44 across the Banihal pass — closures are common Dec–Mar. Express is loaded onto the Delhi–Srinagar air feeder for a far more reliable winter transit.
Last-mile + POD.
Door delivery across Lal Chowk, Dal Gate, Boulevard Road, Rajbagh, Sonwar. Signed POD comes back on WhatsApp the same hour delivery happens.

Antique-replica villa B2B, pashmina reverse trade, university kits.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B
Salawas / Boranada exporter ateliers shipping declared modern reproductions to Srinagar villa-imports — the Rajbagh and Sonwar prosperous-villa interior-designer trade serving Kashmir's Pashmina-trader-villa market. Tax invoice + HSN + buyer GST + sender KYC at booking.
Pashmina & kani-shawl reverse trade
Heavy reverse-direction lane: Jodhpur fashion-traders source pashmina and kani-shawl samples from Srinagar dealers for Marwari retail back home. Both directions move regularly through us. Non-precious textiles only, with KYC + commercial invoice.
Papier-mâché & lacquerware
Jodhpur papier-mâché, lacquerware and miniature-painting samples to Srinagar designer studios. Two-layer pack for fragile pieces; surface routing handles them better than the air leg.
Kashmir Univ / NIT-Srinagar / SKIMS
Care kits, books, woollens for Kashmir University, NIT-Srinagar and SKIMS Soura students. Express in winter — surface delays via Banihal can stretch a week.
Leather goods
Finished Jodhpur leather — mojaris, bags, belts — to Srinagar retail. Treated leather only; raw hide is not accepted.
Rajbagh / Sonwar retiree parcels
Books, woollens, dry mithai, non-prescription medicines to family in Rajbagh, Sonwar and Hyderpora residential pockets.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Jodhpur → Srinagar lane:
Banned outright
- Liquids of any kind — perfumes, attars, oils, gels, hand sanitiser
- Aerosols and pressurised cans
- Cosmetics, nail polish, fragrance samples
- Flammable solids and matches
- Currency notes and gold/silver bullion
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh on the air leg
Common Kashmir-lane misjudgements
- Walnut oil and saffron-oil bottles — these are oils. Banned. (Dry saffron itself is shippable with documentation.)
- Petroleum-based wood-treatment / lacquer chemicals — flammable liquids; Salawas raw chemicals cannot ship. Treated pieces are fine.
- Fresh harissa / kebab packs — perishable; not allowed.
- Copperware finished with petroleum-based lacquer — declare at booking; some finishes are restricted on the air leg.
- Aerosols — including hair spray and deodorants.

Specific to Jodhpur → Srinagar.
How realistic is the transit time in winter?
Honestly: between December and March, NH44 closures over the Banihal pass are common — landslides, snow, two- or three-day shutdowns. A surface parcel that normally takes 4–5 days can stretch to 7 if the highway closes. Air express via the Delhi–Srinagar feeder is far more reliable in winter; we recommend it from late November through March.
How are saffron and dried-walnut samples documented when they come back to Jodhpur?
Dry saffron and dried walnuts are fine through courier in either direction. DTDC will ask for a commercial invoice declaring weight and value, plus consignor KYC for anything beyond a few grams. Dried walnuts likewise — declared on the invoice as “food, dry, non-perishable.” What does not work is anything in oil form — walnut oil, saffron-infused oil — even small bottles for sample purposes. The Marwari-pashmina-trader reverse run sees this paperwork weekly; we keep templates on file.
Do you deliver beyond Srinagar city — to Anantnag, Baramulla, Sopore?
Yes, via DTDC last-mile to outer Kashmir. Expect roughly +2 days on top of the Srinagar transit, occasionally more if the local route is affected by weather or local conditions. We confirm the area-specific transit when you give us the destination pin code at booking.
