Hi,

Unfortunately, Kashmir, at the time, does not house a railway station. Until one is constructed, the next best option is to reach Jammu Tawi railway station which lies at a distance of about 330 kilometers from Kashmir Valley. It is the nearest railhead serving the beautiful valley of Kashmir. New Delhi-Jammu Tawi Rajdhani Express, Jammu Mail and Jammu Tawi Express are some of the prominent trains operating from Delhi.

Below is the list of some more trains operating from Delhi to Jammu -

1. SVDK Vande Bharata. 
2. New Delhi-Jammu Premium Express. 
3. Jammu Rajdhani. 
4. Delhi Sarai Rohilla Udhampur AC Express. 
5. Uttar Sampark Kranti. 
6. Shri Shakti Express. 

No, there is no direct train to Kashmir. The nearest railway station to Kashmir is The Jammu Tawi railway station (330 km from Kashmir). From Jammu Tawi, one can reach Kashmir by road.
