Kashmir Tour Packages
Dal Lake, snow meadows in Gulmarg, the green valley of Pahalgam and the pine hills of Patnitop. Choose a Kashmir holiday on its own, or join it with Vaishno Devi at Katra. Hotels, AC cab and sightseeing are planned for you.
Kashmir Tour Overview
Kashmir is often called heaven on earth. The valley has the shikaras and houseboats of Dal Lake, the Mughal gardens of Srinagar, the Gulmarg meadows with the Gondola cable car, and the Lidder river valley of Pahalgam. In winter the same places turn white, and Gulmarg becomes India’s main skiing resort.
We plan the trip around your dates, group and budget. A 5 to 6 day plan covers Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam, and you can add Sonamarg and Patnitop. Many guests join Kashmir with the Vaishno Devi yatra, now easier with Vande Bharat trains between Katra and Srinagar. See our Vaishno Devi and Kashmir tour package for a 7 day plan.

Travel Tips for Kashmir
- Check advisories and weather. Look at the latest travel advisories and road status before you travel, and keep spare days for snow or rain.
- Carry photo ID. Every traveller should keep a valid ID for hotel check-in and security checks.
- Pack warm clothes. Evenings are cool even in summer, and winter is very cold. Carry proper shoes for snow.
- Plan your phone. Prepaid SIMs from outside the state may not work, so check with your operator.
- Carry some cash. Cards and UPI work in many places, but network can be weak at Pahalgam and Gulmarg.
- Agree prices first. Settle shikara, pony and local cab rates before you start.
- Keep buffer time. Allow 3 to 4 hours before a flight or train, since roads and security checks can take time.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions or local rules.
