Popular Kashmir Package Options

The best itinerary depends on how much time you have and whether you want a focused Srinagar visit or a wider Kashmir experience.

Short Kashmir Holiday

A shorter trip can focus on Srinagar and one or two nearby destinations without making the itinerary too busy.

The itinerary can include:

• Dal Lake and Shikara ride
• Mughal gardens
• Gulmarg
• Pahalgam
• Local markets

This works well if you want to experience Kashmir's main attractions within a limited number of days.

Kashmir Valley Holiday

This option gives more time to explore the main destinations of the Kashmir Valley.

Along with Srinagar, you can include Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonmarg, with enough time for sightseeing and local experiences.

It is a suitable choice for travellers who want to see a mix of lakes, mountains, valleys and cultural attractions.

Kashmir With Doodhpathri

If you want to see a quieter natural destination, Doodhpathri can be added to your itinerary.

The area is known for green meadows, flowing streams and a peaceful setting. It can be a good addition if you want to spend time away from the busier tourist areas.

Customized Kashmir Itinerary

If you have particular travel dates, hotel or houseboat preferences, or specific sightseeing requirements, the itinerary can be planned around them.

Share your dates, number of travellers, preferred accommodation and places you want to visit. The trip can then be arranged according to your available time and preferred pace.

Places to Include in a Kashmir Tour

Srinagar & Dal Lake

Srinagar is the main gateway to Kashmir and is known for Dal Lake, houseboats, Shikara rides and historic Mughal gardens.

Planning tip: Keep enough time for a Shikara ride and explore the surrounding areas instead of treating Dal Lake as a quick stop.

Gulmarg

Gulmarg is a mountain destination known for the Gulmarg Gondola, green meadows and winter snow activities.

Best suited to: Travellers who enjoy mountain views, cable car rides, snow and outdoor activities.

Pahalgam

Pahalgam is a scenic valley along the Lidder River, surrounded by pine forests and mountains. Aru Valley and Betaab Valley can also be included in the visit.

Planning tip: Leave enough time to enjoy the valley rather than trying to cover too many places in one day.

Sonmarg

Sonmarg is a high-altitude valley known for mountain views, the Sind River and access towards Thajiwas Glacier.

Planning tip: The best time for a Sonmarg visit depends on road and mountain conditions, so check the arrangements for your selected dates.

Shalimar Bagh & Nishat Bagh

Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Bagh are historic Mughal gardens near Dal Lake. Their terraced lawns, fountains and old Chinar trees make them popular places for a relaxed visit.

Best suited to: Travellers interested in gardens, history, photography and peaceful sightseeing.

Doodhpathri

Doodhpathri is a quieter alpine meadow with green pastures and flowing streams. It offers a peaceful setting for walks and spending time outdoors.

Planning tip: Add it when you have extra time and want a less crowded nature experience.

Shankaracharya Temple

Shankaracharya Temple is an ancient hilltop temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Its location also provides wide views over Srinagar and Dal Lake.

Planning tip: A morning or late-afternoon visit can fit well into a Srinagar sightseeing day.

Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden

Planning tip: Plan your visit during the flowering season if seeing the tulips is an important part of your trip.
