Kashmir Valley — Srinagar, Gulmarg & Pahalgam

  • Kashmir, India
  • 5 Nights / 6 Days
  • Honeymoon
  • Family
  • Group Tours

Overview

A night on a Dal Lake houseboat, the Gulmarg Gondola, the Betaab valley and the Mughal gardens in six days.

The full valley in six days, including a night on a Dal Lake houseboat, which is the part everyone remembers.

Gulmarg for the Gondola — phase one to Kongdoori, phase two to Apharwat at 3,979 metres — Pahalgam for the Lidder valley and Betaab, and Srinagar for the Mughal gardens and the shikara ride.

Go in April for the tulip garden, June to escape the heat, or December for snow. Our drivers are local and know when a road is likely to close, which matters more here than anywhere else we operate.
