Send a parcel from Udaipur to Srinagar. We pick up free.
Roughly 1,510 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 Udaipur address is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.
Pickup in Udaipur, hub via Delhi, delivery across Srinagar.
Pickup, Udaipur.
Within 60–90 minutes of your call. We bring tape, bubble wrap and a luggage scale; the parcel is sealed at your address.
Delhi hub.
Same-evening handover to DTDC Udaipur, then road to the Delhi facility overnight. 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.

A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Udaipur → 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.)
- Fresh harissa / kebab packs — perishable; not allowed.
- Copperware finished with petroleum-based lacquer — handle with care, declare at booking; some finishes are restricted on the air leg.
- Aerosols — including hair spray and deodorants.

Specific to Udaipur → 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 days can stretch to 6–7 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?
Dry saffron is fine through courier. 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, even small bottles for sample purposes.
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.
