Your Kashmir questions, answered.

Make the most of this route, from the first day to the final stay.

Should I choose five or six days in Kashmir?

Choose Classic Kashmir Circuit for Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and a dedicated Sonamarg day trip in 5 nights and 6 days. The five-day Valley Highlights route covers Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam.

Classic uses three Srinagar nights and one each in Gulmarg and Pahalgam. Sonamarg is a day trip, not an overnight. The extra day adds another valley without removing your mountain stays. If you have only five days, the shorter route keeps the plan focused around your available time.

Explore the five-day Kashmir route
Is Kashmir safe to visit right now?

We are a J&K-registered team based in Srinagar, and we plan every trip around the current situation. We follow official travel advisories for your dates, and if a place is closed or advised against, we change the route before you travel.

Your private car and driver stay with you for the agreed itinerary, and our Srinagar team stays in touch until you fly home. Ask us about your route when you enquire and we will tell you plainly what is open. If an official restriction affects a booked service, our cancellation policy explains your options.

Closures, weather and your options
What is included on the Sonamarg day trip?

The itinerary takes you from Srinagar to Sonamarg and back for valley scenery. A Thajiwas glacier excursion or pony ride is separate. Luxury includes the listed local sightseeing cab; local cabs are private to your party.

Sonamarg sits beside the Sindh River with mountain and meadow views. Tell us if reaching an accessible glacier area is a priority: the available outing, transport, time and extra cost need checking for your dates. We do not describe the included valley visit as a glacier trek.

Can we slow down the six-day itinerary?

Yes. Add a Pahalgam night for more riverside time, or replace an outing with a quieter day. Your private vehicle and customised plan let us work around your party’s preferred pace.

Srinagar adds lake and garden time, Gulmarg adds a mountain overnight and Pahalgam adds a valley stay. Keeping all four places means more driving than choosing fewer bases. Send your must-sees and flight times; we will show which nights or stops to change and what that does to the price.

Can you include flights from my city?

Yes. Tick “Add flights from my city” in the quote form, or tell us your departure city, for a separate flight-inclusive quote. Package prices shown here are land-only; airfare, train tickets and applicable taxes are extra unless included in your written quote.

Send any flights you are considering before ticketing. Arrival and departure times affect the first day’s sightseeing and the final airport transfer. We confirm airfare, baggage and airline change terms separately; the land-booking advance does not hold a flight fare.

What if I need to change or cancel my trip?

Send your request by WhatsApp or email. Refunds depend on notice, supplier costs and the terms agreed before payment. Check the cancellation policy before booking; flight terms may differ.
